Great atmospheric, great location, easy to get to from 1. Live music in the lounge was surprisingly good. Good beer and wine selection. Breakfast was included, buffet style and good, not great. Gardens and walkways between buildings were nice. Only complaint was the floors and walls are very thin and impossible to sleep when the people above you are walking around. If you can get a second floor room it might not be a problem.

nice rooms, friendly staff, live music& a a good 257 stairs walk down to the little town. Overall it was pretty nice here.

Cambria Pines Lodge is a great place to stay. It's in a wooded area and features a walk-through garden, so the atmosphere is pretty cozy and romantic. The room we had didn't seem very "lodge-y" though; it was more like a standard hotel room in a fairly old building. Still, it was clean and well-maintained with a nice fireplace, bathroom, et cetera. During our visit, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant is inviting, and the food there is quite tasty (if a bit pricey). The hot breakfast is another highlight with eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy! I got a deal for our visit and can't speak to the value of regular price, but we were quite pleased and would be happy to stay again.

Cambria Pines Lodge is an extremely overpriced and rundown motel. My room was supposed to be one of the nicer rooms with a fireplace and a forest view, but the fireplace only had one duraflame log (you had to buy extras) and the the window was so dirty we couldn't see through it. The walls are so thin you can hear everyone in the surrounding rooms.One of the nights there they actually parked a tour bus right outside our room, which proceeded to wake us up when it started honking and revving it's engine early in the morning. Needless to say it was not the cozy relaxing place I was hoping for. It should also be noted that the bathroom windows don't close because they don't have a vent in there. The hair dryers must be 40 years old and look like they could start a fire. The carpet felt sticky and the bath towels had stains on them. This place is a complete ripoff.

Great location and incredible Gardens. Service is average and the food bearable. The Managements decision to ask for a $100 deposit just after saying "Greetings" seemed to be a strange approach to confront every patron with while checking in.Charging my credit card and not returning the deposit for a week was a surprise.The explanation for the charge was in case I damaged the room! Truly most of the damage in the room would have gone unnoticed. However not wanting to get blamed for the condition of the room I started finding and documenting the problems and there were many. Just a little marketing revue would have made my experience a 4star review. Randy
