• Quality of the food for dinner at the restaurant.
• The TV in our room was not 100% functional.

“Good location and was peaceful.”

• The pool needed to be skimmed, lots of bugs, leaves floating on top.

“We'll be back next year.”

• Pretty surroundings.
• The noisiest hotel I ever stayed at with the worst soundproofing and smallest TV ever.

“Surroundings were beautiful but inconvenient to walk to town center. very noisy. TV was about 13 inch screen. Took 3 changes to get one that worked marginally.”

• The gardens are gorgeous in the spring.
• Gardens were not well tended, staff was rude, room wasn't clean.

“We returned to the Cambria Pine Lodge in September because we had a pleasant experience when we stayed there in May. In the spring, they had beautiful, romantic gardens and the resort was peaceful and relaxing. However, the staff was rude and unhelpful. But we decided to return again in September because the gardens and the atmosphere of the grounds made up for the lack of hospitality from the staff. After our September stay, we will not ever return to the Cambria Pine Lodge. The staff was even ruder; the walls and ceiling (we had a downstairs room) were so thin we could hear every TV that was on around us. Our TV in the bedroom didn't have a matching remote; we had 2 remotes for the TV in the living area but no remote for the TV in the bedroom. We could hear every single step the people above us made-it even shook our furniture! When we arrived: there were dirty coffee cups at our front door (they were still there when we checked out the next day); the furniture was rearranged as if a party had just vacated our room; there was hair in the bathroom sink, shower and on the bathroom counter. I was very disappointed because this was such a lovely resort the last time we stayed here, with the exception of the staff. The next time we visit Cambria, we will try one of the many other quaint hotels, B&Bs or lodges that are more conveniently located in town.”

• Location, ambiance, gardens, staff, cottage.
• Front desk clerk discarded a fax rather than holding it for me.

“Great location, convenient and quite getaway for family or romantic break. Great price roomy, clean quiet and lovely cottage - not super luxurious but a wonderful homey comfortable stay.”

• Great location if driving down hwy1 and beautiful grounds and environment.
• I'm not sure if there was AC.

“Great location directly between San Francisco and LA along Highway 1 and 10 minutes from Hearst Castle. Free internet was a nice unexpected bonus in a wilderness setting (not wireless) very picturesque and the breakfast was great. Beautiful outdoor heated pool. The bathroom could use a little help it's a sort of industrial one with plastic walls and dim lighting.”

• Made me feel as though I was in the woods and I love camping!

“The hotel is situated a top a hill over looking Downtown Cambria. The surroundings were very beautiful on and off the hotel site. The hotel is very close to shopping and the beach, as well as, 6 miles from Hearst Castle. My wife and I, as well as, my mother-in-law had a great experience.”

• The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we couldn't resist walking everywhere. the gardens, the neighborhood path up to the nursery and down to the.

• The gardens and the food.
• They didn't have a map of hiking trails.

“It's worth the stay just to see the gardens. They are incredible. The location was close to town yet far enough away so you didn't have the noise or all the people.”

• The free breakfast was excellent.
• The room was hot and there was no AC or fans.

“I liked everything about this hotel except that there was no air conditioning in the room and no fans. It may be true that for 95% of the year they don't need air conditioning but if you happen to be there in the summer and it is hot then the room can be unbearable. We actually had one person sleep on the floor by the open door to try and get cooler. If you visit this area and there is any chance it will be hot - do not stay at a hotel without air conditioning!”

• The rooms were great for the price. The pool area was great. The breakfast was great also.
• Nothing.

“The rooms were very nice with a balcony looking out over pine trees. The room had a fireplace with kitchenette. The pool was very warm and clean. And the included breakfast was great. I will stay here again.”

• It had beautiful surroundings, great room, pool and breakfast. Very relaxing.
• No A.C.

“This hotel was wonderful. Beautiful location, gardens and nursery. The restaurant was nice and the room was spacious. There is no A.C. in the room so it can get a little hot, but not bad. I would recommend this hotel.”

• The hotel was a real find. I loved the gardens, the pines and it was close to everything and still quiet.
• I really loved the place so I have nothing here.

“This is a wonderful "get away" hotel. The restaurant was excellent for dinner, the staff friendly and the gardens and grounds beautiful. It is close to town and the beach and the room was large and comfortable and quiet. I will definitely return to this hotel.”

• Nice surroundings and nice hotel staff.
• The numbering of the rooms made it difficult to find the right room.

“The hotel was clean with nice surroundings. More than I had expected.”

• The price that included an extended breakfast with hot food. Dinner was great as well. The suite was perfect with two teenagers.
• For the price, nothing. We stayed in an older cabin so we could hear the people upstairs and the place looked a bit worn.

“Excellent. The staff was great with the exception of the evening person who could not give us replacement batteries for the remote. The server at dinner was friendly, the food was great at dinner, so-so at breakfast but it was hot! The rooms were roomy but a bit worn. The surroundings were fabulous, loved the gardens!”

“The new rooms are wonderful! The staff was very nice upon the request of getting into the newly remodeled rooms and it's worth asking. The hotel is charming and clean and overall will stay there again in a heartbeat.”

• Because the hotel was not busy, we were upgraded to a more luxurious room.
• They did correct the error.

“The surroundings are beautiful. The hotel is surrounded by fragrant pine trees. The beds were Tempur-Pedic. Dinner in the hotel's restaurant was a 10/10! We stayed an extra day to enjoy the serenity of the town.”

• Beautiful, lovely gardens.
• So noisy. And a second floor room without an elevator.

“The Cambria pines gardens could not have been more beautiful. The grounds were spotless. The room was clean and had a fireplace, but was upstairs and no elevator was available. The noise from the nearby lounge was horrible, and lasted until after midnight each night of my stay. I would not recommend the hotel because of the noise. I would visit the restaurant and the gardens, but would stay someplace quieter, with an elevator and air conditioning.”
