You must understand that this is a vintage hotel. It's lobby is a throw back to the 60's and the rooms, though updated, are on the smaller side. But we don't go to hang out in our room. We're there to see the sights, shop and go wine tasting. The offer early morning coffee and late night tea and games. There is a fire pit out front that lends itself well to sipping a recent wine purchase. There is also an EV charging station right at the property and as new EV owners, this is a bonus.

I can't think of anything that wasn't perfect. We are retired and our trips are mid week which means there are fewer guests so the property stays nice and quiet.

We loved the vintage vibe. The indoor lobby fireplace as well as the outdoor fireplace were so cozy on the cold morning and evening. The bed was comfortable, and the complimentary shower shampoo and conditioner was actually quite nice. As new EV car owners, the perk we love now is the charging station on site. The short walk to Redwood Cafe for breakfast was an added bonus.

Mid week meant only a few guests on site. We were on the bottom floor, and later that evening, guests arrived upstairs. Perhaps you could have put them at the other end or at least a few more doors down?? Seriously. 4 cars in the lot and you put someone right above us?!!

Such an adorable place! Everything in town was within walking distance: coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, the shuttle to the Christmas Market with the millions of lights. Room 10 with a separate kitchen was spacious and so comfortable. Loved the king bed, and we are ridiculously persnickety about comfortable beds. We would definitely stay at the Bluebird again, hands down.

Our old-style but efficient in-room wall heater made quite a ruckus while heating up. Then it would bang loudly randomly, so when you least expected it: BAM! Like a g**shot! My husband jumped out of skin every time. Thank goodness the bed was so comfortable because he slept right through it in the middle of the night. I, however, heard it (woke me up once), but I'm hard of hearing, so I wasn't startled. My husband wasn't pleased, but I laughed until my sides ached every time it happened. 😂

The hotel is situated in the historic part of Cambria (stunning town), slightly farther from the ocean. The location is fantastic, surrounded by numerous restaurants, a charming bakery, and a few pubs. While the hotel's design follows the typical motel style, it stands out with its vibrant colors, decorations, and well-maintained appearance. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can easily explore the area on foot, but I recommend driving to reach the ocean or Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.

At breakfast they offer coffee and some granola bars, which isn’t quite a full meal. For something more substantial, you'll need to visit one of the many nearby eateries.

One of the best hotels we stayed in, excellent room with its own private outside seating area, very good facilities and very comfortable bed. Cambia as a location is very good with interesting shops and a proper "old town" America feel. Hotel hosts a free outside firepit gathering for guests in the evening (weather permitting). Would have stayed longer if we had known how good the hotel was. A must stop location if you are driving Hwy 1.

Couldn't fault the hotel but the nearby restaurant recommended to us by reception was not so good. Go further into town to find better places to eat.

Our adventure was based on two olde' duffers visiting Hearst Castle (less than 15-minutes north on Highway 1. On our early afternoon arrival, check-in was a breeze. The young lady behind the desk was very friendly allowing us an early 1:30 PM check-in. She said, "We were waiting for you!" In the original booking, we requested (in the notes and were granted) an upstairs room knowing vintage hotels (like this) tend to have squeaky floors. To that point, make your request for, "upstairs." Our host provided recommendations to local restaurants which were spot-on to our liking within a ten-minute drive. We liked the country feel of the Inn as it's minutes to downtown. We appreciated the cleanliness and its maintained, painted condition. Because of the region's, "water restrictions", there's no spa or pool, but in it's place, is a lovely, streetside fire pit with chairs open to 10PM. Note: This 100-year old property IS in impeccable condition. You should know it's not a five-star hotel based on your searches, but for old hotel aficionados like us, we "liked it" a lot! Rest assured, the Bluebird Inn beat's the hell out of those stuffy, expensive chain hotels.

Although not a game changer, at the next door property behind upstairs room #11, for three nights, the quirky neighbor goes outside at late hours to use power tools. We simply kept our bathroom window closed. The walk along the creek could use some sprucing/landscaping. These are personal observations, but our stay at the Bluebird Inn was positive.

Charming Hotel in the main strip of Cambria that makes you feel like you transported into a B&B in the middle of Connecticut. It made me feel like I was at the Dragonfly Inn from the show Gilmore Girls. It's such a beautiful location. With so much rustic charm. There are so many seating areas within the hotel to enjoy the beauty around you. They even have a firepit going at night, so dont forget your marshmallows. We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and coffee in our room patio and inside their beautiful lobby. Not to mention, the staff was just a delight to interact with. What a spectacular Charming hotel to unplug, sit by the fire, and listen to nature. This hotel is for people who want a relaxing and quiet stay in a home away from home. Come and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this hidden cottage gem.

The shower curtain wouldn't keep all the water in the shower

The room was clean, parking was right outside our door. There was a nightly firepit to socialize with other guests. Our room was handicap accessible and that made it easier for me to get in and out of the shower.

There is no air conditioning, which is fine, it was cool enough outside to have the windows open. BUT, the windows are one whole wall, and when open, you can see everything or have the shutters closed and get no air. No exhaust fan in the bathroom so you had to have the window open in there with no curtain, shade, shutter. The "refreshments" in the mornings were Nutrigrain bars.

We’ve been travelling in the states for a month now and everywhere we’ve stayed has been great but sometimes you arrive somewhere and you just instantly feel comfortable and ‘at home’ and this was one of these places. Was very cute and homely. Great location, room was clean and modern, the bed was very comfortable. And although it maybe seem insignificant to most, glass shower doors over shower curtains are ALWAYS a welcome sight… would highly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting the area. Sad we only got to stay one night.

The staff was amazing, they messaged us before getting there with info so we won't be stuck. The room was huge and pleasant; the bed really big (can probably fit 3 people) and super comfy. There are tons of restaurants and cafes around. The place was really nice and in a good spot along our journey.

There was a ceiling fan in the room but it was ticking so it was pretty annoying... There was no AC. We could open the windows (it was pretty cold there in July), but not optimal. If you're getting there in the winter, there's a heater.
