Stayed two nights in one of their two ocean front rooms.These rooms offered more space & very pleasant views. Ocean was 50 yards away and really was a sight due to strong surf. Cambria is located well to explore Paso Robles as well as Hearst Castle. A number of dining options are very close by. The non oceanview rooms were... More

We reserved the king room that looks out across the road to the ocean. The fireplace is very odd. It is controlled by the room thermostat so once the room heats to the temperature you have selected, the fire goes out...then back on again. The jacuzzi tub is just a bathtub with jets and is VERY hard to climb in... More

This is an old motel that demands top dollar for a room. In fact, the whole darn town of Cambria is a collection of old motels that demand top dollar. Cambria is basically a beach town without the surf shops. Some may call the rooms rustic, I prefer the term "old". It was not clean. The sofa-beds in the room... More

This is an old converted motel. But they did a nice job on the rooms, very spacious. Small fridge & microwave. In the AM there is a breakfast spread in the lobby that you place on a tray & take back to your room. Nice short walk to the ocean across the street where there was lots of wildlife to... More

Was surprised how close the Inn was to the ocean, across the street. This location was close to everywhere we wanted to visit. Everyone in Cambria was great, wonderful room, breakfast, heated pool and spa. Will stay again

The Sea Otter Inn is one of the motels on Moonstone Beach Drive; there are at least 12 on this road just north of the village of Cambria. The hotels are all across the street from a rugged coastline with sandy beaches interspersed. There is a raised wooden boardwalk across the street that stretches through native vegetation that allows a... More

Usually I stay at the Creekside Inn while in Cambria (I go there about every six months), but this time I decided to do something different - plus I got a good rate here, thanks to Travelzoo. I like the Creekside Inn because I enjoy staying in town and having everything within walking distance. Because I live in Half Moon... More

It was a lovely stay on Moonstone Beach. The room was comfy and I really liked the fireplace. I would recommend it to my friends.

Nice little Inn on Moonstone Beach. It was very cozy and comfortable with a private patio and bistro table. The gardens are lovely and well cared for. The room was clean and comfortable with a fireplace and small refrigerator. A view of the ocean and a short walk to the bluffs to view the seal lions and coastline. Great restaurants... More

Great place to stay near the Hearst Castle. Rooms were clean. Walked across the street to the ocean and saw seals. Stayed in December so the temperature was cold at night.
