We have been staying at the Fog Catcher for quite some time. The rooms are nice, location is perfect, but it has lost it's sense of hospitality. Ever since Covid, they stopped serving breakfast in the morning, which other properties, including Cambria Pines Lodge, still include. Instead, they want you to purchase breakfast form their sister hotel's restaurant. On top of that, they will send you a message offering late check out for 31 dollars. This place has lost it's Cambria charm and feels more corporate. While the hotel itself is nice, we will probably stay elsewhere next time.

We had two major issues. First, we drove up from Los Angeles that day. We showed up in the lobby 1 hour and 15 minutes before the check-in time of 4 PM (pretty late you know). The clerk said that our room was ready, but we would have to pay $25 to use it now. Offended by their crass attempt, we told them no and went and had a drink, returning dutifully at 4 PM. Second, we had reserved their best room, facing the ocean. There aren't many. The windows facing the ocean were small and very dirty - impossible to see out in the late afternoon sun. But worse, the room has NO heating! It did have a decorative fireplace with a gas burner, but it took 10 hours to get the room to 65 degrees. Summary: You can do much better, there are many hotels on Moonstone Beach.

We stayed in this place several times throughout the years and just loved it, but this time we’re so disappointed! The room has no charm like before, the bathroom and shower is just ok. The only worse thing about the room is there’s no heater! To heat the room is fire place and you can’t use the fireplace in the evening while you sleep because the light comes from the fireplace is So Bright, so very cold while you sleep. But the best place about the hotel is The location! Wow, right at the beach, beautiful!

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The bed was great. The property was very quiet - that may have been due to the fact that we did get lucky and have the very back corner unit. We had 2 issues - the fireplace barely worked and one morning it took about 15 minutes of running the shower to finally get hot water. Not deal breakers (since the hot water did eventually work) but just something to note. The front desk service was sub par - not rude or anything, just very blah and uninterested in helping. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much though. The beach is right across the street, there are some restaurant and shopping options right there on the main beachfront strip, but we mostly went to Main Street (about a mile walk or a really quick drive). Definitely recommend Indigo Moon as a dinner spot.

Very weak internet in an area with very weak T-Mobile signal so pretty isolated feeling. No food utensils, just things they want to upsell in lobby. Parking good. Beds good. Mirror with built in light kept flashing off/on sporadically. Can't fix that so didn't request it being fixed and we were in last room with 2 queens. Only 2 restaurants nearby totally full and locals line up with chairs as don't take reservations. Reading reviews sounds like not that good. I think the good reviews are from locals to support local ;) $300 as fine as been on 2 week west coast trip averaging about that a night but felt like taken advantage of given the amenities
