    Breakfast could be of more variety, especially as they wrote it is "luxurious" and its far from luxurious.

    Good location, just across the beach.

    Toilets could be bigger, breakfast was decent but not the next but in that place to get breakfast was good. The pancake maker was playing up but staff were helpful in replacing the batter although it still did not work very well. Beach next to it is ok for views, but otherwise smelly beach.

    Good areas to stay. Friendly staff. Warm pool and Jacuzzi was a plus. Rooms were clean.

    The complimentary breakfast was a little limited. There was no yogurt the first morning with an hour to go for the service. There were only apples available for fruit, would like to have had bananas. The self serve pancakes were very small and tough, self serve walffles would have been better. There was no pitcher of cold water in the breakfast area.

    Room was decent and clean. They have a nice sized pool and spa. There is a fire pit avaiable in the evening. Great view of the ocean from the property and several chairs available outside.

    The remodel of the hotel is really well done. Everything is new and clean. They let us have an early check in. The location is stunning, at a quiet end of moonstone beach. We have stayed here several times before and will probably stay again.

    Relaxing get-away in a great ADA accessible room

    • Accessible Budget Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Although our room overall was great, the bed was SO soft that if was difficult for my husband, who is mobility impaired, to get into, turn over, and get out of bed. The sink in the bathroom was great, but the lighted mirror over it is hung too high for someone in a chair -my husband could not see himself in it. Other things not really ADA: the towel rack above the toilet is too high for someone in a chair to reach the towels, the air conditioner controls can only be reached by someone who is standing, and the coffee machine is too high for someone in a chair to reach. The handicapped parking is at the front of the motel next to the office - our room was quite a distance away. (A second handicapped parking is next to the breakfast room, but still a long way.) The breakfast room is too small for a large wheelchair, especially with lots of people in it, but I picked up some items and brought them back to our room.

    My husband and I stayed in the handicapped accessible room for 3 nights. The room itself is at the very back corner of the complex. The large window overlooks the empty field and trees next door with a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. There was a sturdy table next to the window with easily moved chairs to enjoy the beautiful view. The bathroom was perfect for my husband, who is in a power wheelchair - large roll in shower with built-in fold down bench, easily reached shower controls, and shower soap/shampoo dispenser. There was plenty of room for my husband to move around the room. Nice to have refridgerator, microwave, coffee/tea Keurig maker. Grounds are all easily accessible for a wheelchair, plus the pool and spa both have ADA lifts (although we did not use them.) The boardwalk (wheelchair accessible) is right across from the motel, plus there is an excellent restaurant (lunch and dinner only) a couple of doors down. Lovely grounds with chairs, tables, fire pit, games. Breakfast room was small with the regular choices of breads, muffins, juice/coffee/water, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and a pancake machine.

    The floors were squeaky in the room above us so we could hear the people in the room walking around a lot. The breakfast is pretty minimal. The motel is on the older side but nice enough.

    It is very close to the beach, just across the road. The rooms were comfortable and sufficient. There were very nice walking trails along the beach with great views. There were fresh cookies available every morning, and there was a small breakfast area with a minimal breakfast for free. Near the motel there are a few restaurants the you can walk to. Cambria is a cute town with shops, stores and several eating options. San Simeon and Hearst Castle are only a few minutes away. There are several wineries a short drive away in Paso Robles.
