It was our first time staying here. We decided to stay here for the night on our way to Big Sur. But to be honest with you, we got here and there was a lady in the reception area arguing with the young man in charge in the reception. He really didn’t acknowledge us until after five minutes only because the lady turned around to tell us how terrible they were treating her.

My understanding was that she could not get back into her room and all of her medication’s were there. And they had no way of opening up the room for her. And they were trying to have her stay in another room until the morning when someone would be there to help open the door. I can understand her frustration.

We finally get our room. And I asked the young man if we were going to have a problem with getting into our room or getting locked out. And he laughingly jokingly said as long as one of you stays inside of the room you won’t get locked in?! Not the response we were looking for.

The room was not pleasant to say the least. I think they need to spend more money in the rooms, making them a little bit more comfortable and appealing. I didn’t want to take off my shoes and walk, barefoot there was tons of ants in the bathroom on the sink, wall and shower. The bed and pillows were not comfortable at all. So after driving for five hours, we wanted something comfortable. We won’t be staying here again.

The lodge was beautiful! Our room was spacious and had a nice view. Our stay was great but we did have one issue with the hostess at the on sight restaurant. Upon check in we were informed to call to reserve seating. We called and confirmed the amount of people in our party. We were given a wait time. When we got to the restaurant the hostess said she did not see anything for us with my name. Upon a second check she seen my name but noted 2 instead of 6 as we confirmed on the phone call. She proceeded to tell me that we needed to wait another 30-45 minutes, despite there being enough room. We had an infant and toddler with us, we were in no position to wait which is why we called ahead. She showed no care that this was an inconvenience and accepted no fault in the matter even though she was the one I spoke to and confirmed with. Luckily one of the waiters overheard us and got us a table swiftly. We will gladly stay at the lodge again but will most likely pass on the restaurant due to said hostess.

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The lounge was fun and inviting and we enjoyed the live music. The service was excellent and food was delicious.
The only thing that I had a complaint about was that the charging station for our car was taken for hours by the same cars and they were parked over their lane and so the 3rd one wasn’t accessible and the reception staff said there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn’t contact the owners of the vehicles to let them know that others would like to use it or park correctly so that they were all accessible.
Besides that our stay was wonderful and we would highly recommend and will be back.

Just stayed one night for a stopover on a road trip up CA 1. We chose this instead of the coast as it's closer to town and wanted a more tranquil stay. Stayed in a room with a garden view but no balcony. It had what we needed with lots of space. It had a mini fridge with a small freezer that worked quite well. Super clean with easy parking. The restaurant on site was pretty good and very convenient. They had a special upgrade for dinner which we took advantage of. My seabass was very good, although my husband's steak was a little tough but tasty. The portions were generous. Too much for me to finish. Great value. Service was excellent. After walking the site I saw little cottages, etc that would be great for a larger family. You can walk to town, but there are stairs/hills. I didn't do it but saw some who did. I'm not sure how long it would take. It's a great option if you aren't staying on the coast.

The pictures of the place were misleading. This is a very large property with many, many buildings. The pictures don't show this. It was rustic looking but in a cheesy way.
The rugs and floors in our room were filthy and the room smelled strongly of cleaning scent, so strong it made me gag every time I walked in the room. Also the outside stairs were next to our bedroom wall and the noise of 20 or so tenants coming in and out with luggage disturbed our sleep. Our 80 year old friend traveling with us had trouble with her arrangements and even called ahead to make sure she had a patio and room near us. She wasn't even within walking distance.
On the positive side, the gardens were lovely and we enjoyed walking through them.

When we first arrived, we were put into a family room, supposedly for the three of us, platonic friends. However, the dirty old sofa, the Murphy bed and the sole provided regular bed did not even fit with the Murphy bed pulled down. So we asked for another room.

The second place we were given, then, was much cleaner and renovated. It wasn’t optimal for us, as two of us had to share one bed, which was not what we’d originally paid for. However, we were happy with it, though we weren’t given a reduction in room charge that we asked for.

The general staff was great! Welcoming and personable, present when needed. The free breakfast buffet was so nice, and the option of eating it outside in beautiful weather, in their gorgeous gardens and gazebos, was so very appreciated.

We loved our stay there and, if down in Cambria or vicinity again, will definitely stay again.

A wonderful, dog-friendly resort with responsive staff. The room was a bit dated, but comfortable. I was surprised there was not a refrigerator in the room as it appeared on the listing there would be one. Instead, I used their ice machine to keep my cooler filled/cold. From the restaurant I ordered a HUGE cheeseburger the first night and a delicious brussel sprouts salad the second. Chef's kiss to the creme brulee!

I chose Cambria Pines for its dog readiness, location close to Hearst Castle and heated (wonderful) pool. I'm planning to return in November to visit Hearst Castle again and do holiday shopping in the cute shops in Cambria.

The facility is very nice. However, since I booked through Expedia I got a very old room , clean but run down for sure. I also had ants in my bathroom. When I called to let them know they just sent a man with some bug spray and then our room smelled of poison.
We did enjoy our dinner there the food was excellent and also our breakfast. I did have to pay for breakfast as again I booked through Expedia. I did not even think to call direct. I know better now. They even gave me a card that says book direct with us next time.

We really loved walking the gardens and then in the evening spending time in the lounge listen to live music.
Over all we enjoyed the town and our stay however next time I will call direct to book.

Everything turned out fine but the Expedia website says that pets are only allowed in specific rooms suggesting you could get a room where cats have not been present. However when we arrived the front desk employee told us pets can be in any of the rooms but the rooms are thoroughly cleaned after each visit.

I've stayed at Cambria Pines many times over the last 30 years. This was the first time I did not book direct. At check in I was told breakfast was not included as I booked thru a 3rd party. The girl was pretty snotty about it. The rooms they put aside for 3rd party bookings are in the building across the street. They are dingy and worn out. Wind blinds don't work. Baseboards water damaged and not repaired. Wall plugs that my connectors just fell out of. Holes in wall patched and mismatched paint. Extremely out dated.

No fridge or microwave in room. Front desk informed me \"those rooms don't come with them, call your booking company\".

If they want to treat the 3rd party booking customers as pariahs, maybe they shouldn't sell rooms to them.

We had a lamp that didn't work ,(at desk), it took 2 days and 2 requests to fix it. I stayed 4 nights. I requested housekeeping for the 2md day, texted desk at 7:12 am and they responded at 7:13 that they would forward to housekeeping. I got back to room at 3:15 and room was not cleaned. Housekeeping didn't have me on schedule. I texted front desk and was told I needed to call my request in.

Never again will I stay at this property.

Kids ate free while adults were $21, it was ok. Location was excellent, they have a walking trail into town. We were on the bottom floor, so we can hear the folks upstairs walking around. Yes it was loud. When the toilet was flushed upstairs it sounded like a waterfall in our room. Yes it was loud. Overall we would stay here again, we just ask for a room upstairs.
