I really enjoyed my stay here!
A quick night in Cambria on a trip down to LA meant I didn't want to go bananas paying for an ocean view room, I just needed a bed and a roof. In a very touristy town, I was grateful to find such a cool and affordable little spot. A wonderful location close enough to downtown to walk, but also removed enough to feel quiet and private. I was there on a Sunday night so it may have been more quiet than usual. I made one little request to be in a room that didn't share walls with anyone since attendance was low and I was accommodated no problem, I slept like

The Cambria Palms Motel touts itself as the best deal in town....which is true. Most motels/hotels in town will run you upwards of $250 and above.
The Mrs. and I spent Saturday night at the Cambria Palms Motel and this is what I'l say about it and keep it short. If you're looking for a place to stay for a night that you just intend on using as a place to sleep, then this is the place for you.
The king size bed we slept on was surprisingly comfortable. Some of the other furniture was a little dingy. The bathroom was clean and the tv worked.
What more could you ask for.....

Upside
Super convenient and quiet
Quick walk to town
Dog friendly
Downside:
WORST bed I've ever slept on, and no one slept well. I am still sore from the mattress.
Toilet paper is one step up from sandpaper
No conditioner in the shower
No light in the shower
Fluorescent lighting
No late check outs
Expected a lot of "niceties", being it's advertised as a "boutique" motel. The potential is there but it has a long way to go.

This motel was clean and the bed was comfy. It definitely is not a resort. Walls are thin, zero water pressure in the shower. I did not like the idea that there was no front desk support from 10pm to 8am though.
We literally only needed a place to sleep so it worked for us. Checked in at 9pm, left at 9am. For that, it was worth the price and their claim "best deal in town" is accurate. If you need more space and a fancy set up, this is not the place for you.
There was a small space heater wall unit, which luckily we didn't need. No A/C for hot summer days.

I loved this little motel at the West end of town. It was so peaceful! And you can tell the proprietor cares about his/her place. It is very clean and cared for. There is a little walkway and places to sit and relax outside. In the back, there is a gas-powered fire-pit that they will light for you, if you request it, from 8-10:00 p.m.

No air! No security! No privacy! No peace! No wine, wine glasses, or firepit!
Upon first glance it was a cute, clean room. Then reality sets in. The fancy clock on the bedside said the room temperature was 86°. We quickly realized there wasn't an A/C unit and to cool the room you had to open the sliding picture window in front and the bathroom slider. Which meant leaving the bathroom door open. When open it bumped up against the bed. The bathroom had a beautiful view of the apartment building next door which looked directly into the window. So close the window for privacy and loose

The Pros:
It's clean.
It has DIRECTV.
It's walking distance to town.
The Cons:
The bed was very lumpy.
The pillows were crap.
The water pressure in the shower was LOW.
The TV was very small and way across the room.
The "free" coffee was individual packets, brewed one cup at a time & bad. Powdered creamer.
Since it's right on the narrow main drag, it's a bit noisy.

We stayed here a little while back for a few days. It's pretty nice for the price you pay. I would say the best deal in Cambria as far as lodging goes. It's pretty basic, has a TV, mini fridge, bathroom with a shower, bed and a few other pieces of furniture. We were in one of the rooms closest to the fire pit area.
Pros:
-Beautiful outdoor area with fire pit. We spent some time out here and it was lovely.
-Very clean
-Has a heater and a ceiling fan!
Cons:
-Mini fridge didn't get very cold-may need to be checked.
-Not much counter space in the bathroom.
Check in was easy and

I came to this place because I had seen it on my way to the hotel I was supposed to stay at. That hotel (which I'll leave unnamed because the man that helped me was sweet as could be) was just too worn down and uncomfortable for me to stay at. So I decided to book last minute at the Cambria Palms Motel with Expedia.
It doesn't look like much from the outside so I was a little worried I would be walking into the same problem I had before. But I was totally wrong. Yeah, it's an older building so it isn't perfect, but for me and my dog on our mini staycation it was exactly what

We needed a last minute reservation to come up to the Cambria area to check out some investment property. This was one of the only reasonably priced places left with availability and whilst we aren't usually "motel" stayers we decided to roll the dice as it was only for one night.
We were pleasantly surprised at how clean the room was and comfortable the beds were. It's also just a 3 minute walk to the beginning of the downtown area of Cambria where all the restaurants and shops are. We were able to walk to dinner and morning coffee.
We had our Boxer staying with us as well

If you are on a budget, then this place is for you! We stayed here for two nights before Thanksgiving to visit my father-in-law who was staying in Cambria with friends, and we only paid $160 something for our room. A bargain indeed, but you do have to not mind a few things. The chairs in the room have seen better days, there is no counter in the bathroom to put your toiletries (had to place them on the window sill), and the small wall heater next to the door turned on and then off after a few minutes. We were cold the second evening since the heater didn't really work. The room is clean
