I love the bed, me and my husband is really amazed how comfortable their bed. We’ve been staying in hotels when we travel but this is the first time that we really had a comfortable bed, feels like our bed at home.

Dear Khristine,How wonderful, we are so thrilled to hear you had such a restful sleep in our amazing beds. There is no greater compliment then to hear that our beds felt like home. We do hope to see you back when you come to visit Cambria again.

Dear Jonathan,We were sorry to hear that your partner fell ill upon arrival. If there was anything we could have done to help we surely would have done so but unfortunately our hands were tied with you being an advance purchase which locks you into your reservation for a discounted price. Again, we apologize that nothing more could be done to aid in the situation.

Outer doors to rooms need to be secured and they need to have better more efficient heaters in the room. Should automatically provide maid service so that we don’t have to request in advance. Room was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated.

This was my second time staying at the Fireside Inn. First time was late 2020, and we were one of the few people visiting. This past weekend’s trip was different. Very busy. Very loud. The rooms are NOT sound proof at all. Both nights and early mornings we could hear our neighbors. I had to sleep with white noise one to get to sleep. It was, also, very cold. No heater in the room. Not sure lll stay here again. It’s a lovely looking inn. Newly updated rooms. But the incessant noise issues with the room next door was a real problem.

Dear Janice,Thank you for leaving us your feedback. We were thrilled to have you back as a returning guest. I am so sorry your neighbors were so inconsiderate of their surroundings. Don't hesitate to let the front desk know and we can contact your neighbors and make them aware to be quieter. We want all our guests to have an amazing, quiet and comfortable experience here. We do hope you give us a chance to make your next stay better.

Right across Pacific Coast Highway to the ocean, it's such a wonderful location. We walked to Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill, which was casual, friendly and the food was amazing. The fireplace in our room fired up with the flick of a switch, looked and felt exactly like a log fire and made our room cosy and romantic in minutes. What a gem of a place.

Liked the location. Did not like the fact that breakfast buffet was discontinued and the room did not have a microwave or table available for in room eating. For the price we paid, we expected breakfast as we had received in the past. The Covid "excuse" doesn't cut it anymore.

The front staff were extremely friendly. The room was ready ahead of time. We were disappointed that the washroom shower had hair in it still from the previous guest. The TV also did not work. The room also is not equipped with a safe.

Please let the front desk know right away if anything is amiss and we will send someone right away to make the issue right.

Check in was 4:35pm nit 4pm as stated. Guess they had problems with staff. Plumbing problem next morning. No plunger so had to go to the office and front desk said yes, they’ve had problems. I suggest having a plunger in each room. More noisy than most places we have stayed. Not coming back

Great place for a stay. “Boardwalk” in front is excellent if you like to wander and enjoy the coast. Property is a bit dated but that’s corporate (stay in one of your rooms as a true guest for 3-4 days and you’ll see/experience little issues like a remote with bad batteries or the toilet is noisy)
