I have a lifelong motel-phobia, but driving the coast from SF to SD and wanting to stop to see Hearst Castle, there are only so many options available on this stretch of highway. Fog catcher, while lost in fog both mornings we were in Cambria has forced me to revisit my fears! Another last minute booking, it was off the... More

Between the fantastic location (a stones throw from the ocean) and the amazing service I will definitely be returning to this hotel. The staff there are friendly and go above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent stay. My group and I arrived late and were absolutely exhausted and not to mention starving! the staff contacted every local restaurant... More

Lovely old fashioned setting quite well updated. Very pleasant room close to the ocean. Surroundings are picturesque, scenery is unbelievable. Can't wait to try the pool. I hope it cools enough to use the fireplace

This hotel came highly recommended by some friends of ours and we were'nt disappointed! Great location in beautiful Cambria and very close to the scenic ocean trail across the street. The room was clean and comfortable. We loved the fireplace, and the included breakfast was really impressive! They served just about everything you could think of. Lots of friendly people... More

The FogCatcher Inn is one of the perfect places to stay when you are visiting the California Coast and are in the San Simeon area. We recently stayed in room 121, an oceanfront accommodation. The Inn is lovely and the room was absolutely fabulous. The beds are extremely comfortable and being oceanfront, with the windows open is so refreshing and... More

I have been to Cambria/Moonstone Beach several times. This is the first time we stayed at The Fogcatcher Inn. The location could not be any better. Centrally located on Moonstone Beach. Most rooms have dime ocean views. A nice touch is that the rooms have fireplaces. The breakfast (included) is one of the best I've had. It includes waffles, assorted... More

Nice room with a gas fire, water and apples were available in the reception, they recommended a great restaurant for us and made a reservation. Hotel right on the beach, free parking and wifi. Breakfast was brilliant. Loved this place and will be back. Have already recommended it to my friends.

We have stayed at the Fog Catcher Inn may times, and I have always had a wonderful experience. Take the opportunity to find out for yourself, what personal service and hospitality is all about. Sort of like, going back in time.

1 night last minute booking, prior to Hearst Castle visit (6 miles away). Clean, comfortable, right on beach, very friendly, efficient and good service from the team there. Breakfast was a real scrum, so many people in a relatively small room, shows it must be a popular hotel, food choice good though. Certainly, the other hotels on this beachfront strip... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The FogCatcher Inn has an Old English feel with contemporary conveniences. With its rounded thatched-style roof, flower-lined brick paths and fireplace in every room, FogCatcher Inn is the perfect romantic getaway. Many of the rooms have fabulous ocean views; whether the surf is crashing or calm and serene, the ocean sets the mood for this unique and memorable hideaway. Rooms are comfortably appointed and amenities include complimentary parking and a continental breakfast. Our Cambria, California, hotel is tailor-made for families, and several pet-friendly rooms are available. Corporate guests and groups find our hotel to be relaxing and rejuvenating and the outdoor pool and spa are idyllic locations to enjoy this part of the Central Coast. Guests of both the Fireside Inn and FogCatcher Inn are invited on the first Friday of each month to attend a wine tasting event featuring local wineries from the 46 West Wine Region. The tasting is held at the FogCatcher Inn along Moonstone Beach Drive. Located just footsteps from Cambria's beautiful Moonstone Beach, the FogCatcher Inn's resident rock-hound experts will carefully inspect treasures collected by kids after beach walks. Each afternoon this summer, poolside classes are offered in how to fold fun towel creations for fans of origami interested in going beyond paper! And the FogCatcher Inn offers families board games for family game nights, coloring books and crayons, puzzles, playing cards and cookies. The FogCatcher Inn welcomes family pets with special treats and VIP (Very-Important-Pet) status. Complimentary breakfasts and in-room refrigerators for guests' snacks and cold drinks combined with 15% savings for bookings at least 21 days in advance or for 3- or 4-night stays, make for great family vacation values. ... more   less
