My husband and I spent four nights at the Fireside Inn. We were not able to get a room with an ocean view, but it was fine as we were right across the street from Moonstone Beach and the boardwalk above the beach. Honestly, we wouldn’t pay the extra money for the ocean view if we stay here again. We saw a great sunset one night, but the others were too foggy. That was okay too, as the beach and boardwalk were wonderful for enjoying the area and are both nice easy walking. We also enjoyed nearby Fiscalini Ranch - it was as an easy two mile hike out and back and has a great view of the ocean.
Our favorite restaurant is Madeline’s French restaurant in downtown Cambria. The prices were not much more than the neighborhood eateries. We ate a lunch and a dinner there.
We loved our room in the updated motel. It’s super cute- the fireplace heats the room quickly and adds a nice ambiance. The street the motel is on has lots of updated motels- and it’s fun to see how each of them have been restored. My only wish was that the motel had finished installing the drinking water purification system ( I’m guessing it will be done soon) and that they had a fire pit and chairs like many of the other motels on the street.
