Back home on the east coast, the local police dept. gave a citizen's tour of the county jail. When I stepped into my room at the mariner's inn I thought I was revisiting the jail. Concrete floors....concrete walls.....musty smells.....matresses as hard as a rock slab; and they charged us $220 a night. If you like to get ripped off and... More

I went to Mariners Inn for two nights. It has a great location at Moonstone Beach in Cambria. It was easy to walk down to the beach which is right across the road. The room had a nice atmosphere including a fireplace which was really nice. Their was also a jacuzzi tub included which was a nice surprise. It has... More

Very quaint and old days feeling of camping. Rooms are like cottage style. Each had a fireplace. No ocean view from the rooms directly, but step outside and its right there. Beds are very firm. Only negative about this place is no chairs in the rooms. A bench is provided, but not fun to sit and read a book in... More

My husband and I tried this place for the first time. It is not a 5-star hotel but our room was clean, the bed was comfy. The toilet rocked.... which may us laugh! The selling point is not the room but the deck where you can take your wine and cheese and sit and watch the sunset over the pacific... More

We used a promotion at this location and had a very nice stay. The rooms are recently renovated and they used some real creativity with it looks like very little expense (someone mentioned in earlier note - design on a dime). The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We appreciated that they were dog friendly as my folks were... More

My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days at a reasonable price. The Mariner's Inn was close to Hearst Castle and the beaches. We were fortunate to be there in time to watch the amazing elephant seals and their newborns. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and the continental breakfast sufficient for a morning start.... More

One night stop over in Cambria led us here. The whole place is under new management and has been refurbished as others have mentioned. Considering what it used to look like, I think they have done a great job. Very clean and fresh. Like others have mentioned we did too freeze at night. The bedding is barely a sheet, no... More

We were lured by a TravelZoo deal. "Newly refurbished rooms!" I guess, if you can call painted concrete floors with a freshly stained area rug "refurbished." Our room was bone-chilling cold as our heater did not work. We suffered through our first night by leaving the gas fireplace on all night and piling blankets from the 2nd mini-queen bed (we... More

I recently took my girlfriend to Cambria to see the Hearst Castle for her birthday and decided to stay at the Mariners Inn. We had a great time. The room was simple but stylish. The manager (Eric) and staff were very courteous. Very reasonably priced considering their location on the beach. Walking distance to the Moonstone Bar & Grill which... More
