Poor hotel resort on every level
The customer service from all staff members was a D! There were excuses daily! We checked out a day early! I’m waiting for a refund for 1 nights stay. I asked for management to call me and haven’t heard from anyone!! Poor!!! Do not stay at this hotel resort!

We loved the peaceful and quiet area this hotel is located in. The boardwalk that goes out to the beach was beautiful and an easy walk. The only issue was the WiFi was very spotty, if able to connect at all. We loved it overall and look forward to our next stay!

One night in Cambria
Room not available at our 4pm check-in, pathetic/worthless continental breakfast, no hot water from 9pm until about 9:30am rendering en-suite hot tub useless. Uninterested staff when this issues were mentioned at check-out. .Place has gone downhill VERY fast in last two years.

Paid a little more to have hot tub (jacuzzi) in room. Jets did not work in the tub.
Informed hotel staff at checkout, would have been nice had they offered a little discount for the issue but they didn’t.
Overall it was a nice place to stay.
