Pet Friendly
The reason I stayed here was because they are pet friendly. As my dog is getting older, and I will try to take her with me as much as I can.
Check in was easy and the front desk person was nice.
Thank-you, for being pet friendly!!

Decent
The motel is very simple. The rooms were a bit noisy, as we could hear conversations, when sinks and showers were on, etc… friendly staff! At the end of downtown at least 30 minute walk to main area

Quiet and within walking distance of shops, restaurant and more.
Very happy with our stay.

Clean and comfortable
The room was clean and fresh. Not much in amenities. New air conditioner, fridge and coffee maker similar to Keurig. A fan was great too. Definitely would stay here again.

This is a no frills motel. Nothing special. The family that runs it is very hospitable and friendly. They are accommodating. We asked for more towels and another pillow and they were happy to oblige. It's close enough to town that you can easily walk there. It is too far to walk to the beach. Overall, worth the price.

This place worked for the night but we wouldn’t stay for an extended time. Room was clean and fine but was a bit outdated, the wifi was on and off and we lost power in the bathroom for some reason. You could see outside through the cracks around the door and there was a bit of a constant breeze. Not my favorite but works in a pinch.

The manager was friendly and informative. I could tell he cared about his customer's stay. I liked the recently installed heater/AC unit. It was quiet, easy to use and kept the room at the temperature that I wanted. Even though I didn't use them, it was nice to have a microwave and mini fridge. One nice touch was the small shelf next to the sink to set items on. I'll definitely stay here next time I'm in Cambria.

Exellent vaule and location
This motel is of great value due to its friendly staff and prolximity to town (all walkable) yet just far enough away to be quiet, while also affordable. We'll stay here every time we go to Cambria.

It was a clean, economical place to stay overnight on the way to our destination. It was definitely a very basic, no frills room, but it met our need.

Motel is undergoing renovations and the updates are appreciated. They have great pet potty areas and short walk to downtown dining and shops. I would stay here again
