So when driving along the California coast and especially in the Cambria area there really aren't any full service medium sized to large hotels. There are lots of small quaint hotel / motel type places that have been re-done a little bit . It is just really hard to know what you might be getting. We chose the Pelican Cove... more

If you're going to Cambria then you have to stay on Moonstone Beach Drive. The ocean view is amazing and there is a wonderful boardwalk along the steep ocean shore. The Pelican Cove was okay, not great. We had an ocean front room with a patio. We had our 16 month old daughter with us so we didn't use the... more

Read the reviews & looked at the pics before booking & wasn't disappointed with the hotel itself. The room & setting were beautiful. We paid a bit more & took the dinner package thinking this would save us time & money in the end. This covered 2 entrees at the Cambria Pines Lodge + a bottle of wine. This was... more

This hotel is well kept and nicely decorated. It is romantic and quiet as you are located just across the road from Moonstone Beach. Make sure you ask for a room with a view of the beach. You are pampered with a comfortable bed, gas fireplace, patio/balcony, jetted tub, wine/cheese/crackers and dessert hour. The room we had was decorated in... more

Previously we had stayed at the Sand Pebbles Inn and it was full so we decided to stay at Pelican Cove Inn. It's hard to put my finger on what we didn't like about it. The rooms were large, the contienental breakfast was excellent, everything was clean and in working order. It just didn't have much personality. The soap and... more

Great selection of Happy Hour wines and cheeses. Evening deserts were killer. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and the bed was great. Our only concern was the lady at the front desk. We listened to her "selling" the heck out of a restaurant a few doors down, and bashing, I mean really trashing, the other restaurant close by. After hearing how... more

We had a hugely enjoyable stay at the Pelican Cove Inn. It's located right by the beach and we loved walking along the boardwalk in the evening, watching the sun set. Also, there are 2 excellent restaurants which can be reached by walking along the boardwalk. We also loved the delicious, hot breakfast which was served in the morning, and... more

This hotel was doing a promotion, so my room was under $100. At that, it was a bargain, as Cambria, and especially Moonstone beach, is a pricey area. Hotel is actually three hotels loosely connected, right across from Moonstone beach, a rocky area which is known for it's lovely walkways and views. My fireplace did not work, the spa was... more

From the warm greeting upon check in till our last breakfast prior to departing....wife was pleased and kept telling me how much she loves it. Friendly staff offered great tips and provided town info upon check in. We booked... more
