Cambria Pines Lodge

"Have visited many times with good experience. This time, enjoyed the Christmas lights. We had paid for a room with fireplace as previously this was a electric fireplace. This time it was probably a older room with wood burning fireplace and old wall heater. We would need to go get a presto log from the check in desk as one was not in the room. We requested a different room which they provided with electric fireplace. It also had a mini split heater which took a bit to figure out how to use the remote but it did work.If you enjoy coffee they now provide a pot to boil water and coffee bags that work like tea bags but taste was very disappointing. Breakfast which comes with the room was okay, used to be better. Overall, a bit disappointing but would stay again."

"Sprawling property with garden areas. Lounge with bar and occasional live music. Some of the staff members were friendlier than others. Simple breakfast included with stay. Christmas lights in the garden were nice. Price was too high for a weeknight between Christmas and New Year's Day (double what it was for a few days later). Some first floor rooms have entryways that are a tripping hazard."

"The property is very nice and well kept. However the staff is lacking in their customer service. They know they are the most desirable lodge in the area due to the Christmas Market being on their property. So they will not give you any personalized attention like a 12 noon check out on a Monday... This was disappointing to me because I needed to work remotely until my lunch break."

"Stayed here for the Christmas market every year. Had the tub suite this year, great room minus half the tub jets not working. Christmas light show is great, really need more food options tho. The restaurant is nice, but lacks food options unless you want a $50 meal."

"It's a nice location along the coast, Hearst Castle is just 10 min away. The rooms were clean, not fancy (motel style) but the check in and out was easy. It's family friendly, which is great, though you can hear kids bumping around and running. Not late enough to cause any problems, but not super quiet either. Breakfast was pretty standard, and staff was helpful and friendly and quick-though there were tip jars spread through the buffet which was off-putting. All in all, not bad but like all places along the coast, a little pricey for what you're getting. The food in the restaurant that evening was pretty good, it was very busy but the staff was very quick and did a great job."
