Creekside Inn is our hotel of choice for short stays in Cambria. While the ocean views and some other luxury amenities are certainly superior on Moonstone Beach, this small hotel is quiet, supremely clean, and within walking distance of the shops and restaurants on the east side of town. There's a great balcony view of the local creek, and frogs will sing you to sleep on a spring or summer night. Linens, bathroom accessories, lighting, A/C are all top notch, and the property is extraordinarily clean, with friendly staff. This is a great hotel for a short stay in Cambria.

I could wish for a cleared landscaped area in the back of the property to walk around and down to the creek. Also, a small spa could be installed back there easily. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

Totally renovated older motel. Very clean, comfortable beds, quiet and safe area

Creekside Inn offers a convenient location that’s easy to access and walkable distance to all the great restaurants and shops, making it a solid choice for travelers. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep—a major highlight of the stay. The hot water was reliable, but the water pressure could definitely use an upgrade, and addressing some limescale buildup would enhance the experience. Parking was straightforward and hassle-free, a nice perk. WiFi was reliable and fast, which is always appreciated when staying away from home. One standout feature was that the room was ready upon arrival, making check-in smooth and efficient. Overall, it’s a comfortable and convenient spot with minor areas for improvement.

While Creekside Inn had its highlights, there were a few drawbacks during our visit. We couldn’t figure out how the heater worked, which was frustrating given the cold weather. Some clear directions or a user guide for the heater would have been helpful. On the bright side, there were plenty of comfy blankets available, which made it easier to stay warm and cozy despite the chilly conditions. With a little more attention to detail, the experience could have been much smoother!

Quiet part of town. No traffic noise. Everything in the room is new or renewed. Very roomy, clean room. Bright, plenty of lighting. TV doesn't have an on/off light that is visible at night.

Window blinds- which I usually prefer over heavy curtains- are very inefficient in blocking the outdoor lights. The outdoor lights in the parking are super bright, which causes the room to be too illuminated for sleep. Additionally, when a car arrives very late into the night, the headlights are right in your room as well as the running motor. The high volume of the wall-mounted TV next door. I do not like to have to call anyone, therefore I suffer.

everything. Samantha was amazing - friendly and always on hand for anything you needed. She tended the outside gardens meticulously and took great care of the appearance of Creekside Inn. The room was large, bright and just beautifully renovated. Enjoyed our short stay immensely. Exceptionally clean and comfortable and loved the creek running at the back of the property. It felt like you were in a very serene location instead of in a small town. Walking into town to the shops and restaurants was just a short distance and a nice way to start the day.

Nothing - it was all incredible and much more than expected.

very friendly staff, waited for us since we were running late. super clean rooms and bathrooms, coffee machine in the room. fantastic view from the balcony on the backside of the room, overlooking the creek (spotted some deer in the morning from the balcony. comfortable, big beds. very positive experience, would surely go there again. took 4 minutes to walk to the town to have dinner and get coffee. 5 minutes by car to the beach. Airconditioned rooms,

nothing that i can think of, all in all a great place to stay.

The bed was super comfy and it was very quiet at night. Loved hearing the cows mooing in the morning. Excellent location. In walking distance to the main area. Free parking.

The walls are thin and you could definitely hear some talking/TV etc. in the room next to us. Would be nice to have an extra blanket in the room since it got a bit cold during the night.

Hotel is just OK - nothing special - but rooms are nice and clean, and the location is great (just off the main street of downtown Cambria so walking distance to shops/restaurants).

No amenities (pool/hot tub) and seemed short staffed (I think the receptionist is also the housekeeper so wasn't there when we originally tried to check-in - granted we were early - so we had to leave and come back). Also, the soap dispensers are just AWFUL! They don't provide any bar soap or bottles of shampoo/conditioner, it's all in the dispensers and it's terrible. Definitely bring your own soap, shampoo & conditioner.

Clean rooms. Can walk downtown.

The staff was never in the office. Came early to see if we could check in but rooms were not ready. Was told to come back around 2:30. We came back little after 3:00 staff was still not in the office. Had to go and look for her. Finally had to call her on the phone. When she checked us in she seemed not friendly. Not very personable. It would be nice if someone is the office when you come to check in instead of looking all over the property for them.

Location was away from the crowded area of Cambria but close enough so we can walk to the shops and restaurants. Our room has a balcony overlooking the creek at the back with chairs so we can sit and have coffee outside.

The bed is a bit soft for me but it was still a great hotel to stay in for several nights. The location and cleanliness more than made up for the soft bed.
