Everything. The place was exactly what we were looking for. Just opposite the Pacific Coast, with spacious rooms and loads of amenities inside. It’s run by a very kind and friendly couple who does all in their hands to make your stay memorable and unforgettable. Really thoughtful touch the free cookies in the room. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back.

The room had a partial view of the ocean, which was nice. The breakfast was perfectly adequate with hard boiled eggs, Danish and more. Also, the hotel is located between two of the best restaurants in Cambria: The Sea Chest and Madeline's.

I loved all the staff, starting when we arrived. The valet service was friendly and help with our bags, always one step ahead in providing assistance. I have to use a wheel chair, they help my wife take it down from the truck, very helpful. The staff in the registration desk, also very accommodating, since we arrived earlier then the checking in time, they allowed to check in to the room, since it was my 1st visit, I did not pay any extra fees Cheyenne was very helpful and very concerned and made us feel very important. I thank all the of the staff at Chumash Hotel and resort.

Exceptional property at a lovely, laid back beach town. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful that we encountered in California. We loved that we could borrow beach chairs and equipment and our kids loved the pool. It was the perfect place for some R&R on our road trip. The rooms were big and comfortable and I would highly recommend going for a sea view suite. The quality of the food at breakfast was also very high. The range on offer was a bit more limited than at some of the other hotels we stayed at but that was no problem for us.

Neat little beach town with the best restaurant's most fabulous treats and sweets and nostalgic beauty. Tomascos has the best cookies and brownies in life.Cool cats offers an amazing burgers and of course Pizmo cafe has amazing Pizza and the best chicken wings ever? their pasta is pretty freaking good also. Hoagies is a staple if you want the best pismer wrap and tritip youve ever had.And please check out Sea venture restaurant.They have the most amazing 22 ounce steak for dinner and their breakfast is fabulous. ATVS on the dunes is always a good time and we love whale watching there. Pismo is all around fabulous. Most of the hotels have amazing views and sit in picturesque Cliffs and all of them offer really great pools.

Morro Bay is beautiful!

Morro Bay is beautiful! It was our first time visiting, and we highly recommend it if you're looking for charm. The restaurants and small-town vibe, along with the beach community, are just wonderful. I can't rave enough about it, and I hope to come back soon. The weather was lovely during Thanksgiving week.

Look no further! This is an amazing hotel in the beautiful town of Solvang. You can walk to all the local restaurants and shops and see all the Scandinavian type of buildings. The breakfast was really good and the property is upscale and the grounds are well kept with seating areas outside by fireplaces. We loved every part of our stay.

Ventura is a charming coastal city with plenty to enjoy.

Ventura is a charming coastal city with plenty to enjoy. Busy Bees is a great old-school diner, friendly, nostalgic, and serving hearty comfort food that never disappoints. The Ventura Botanical Garden is also pretty cool, offering peaceful trails and beautiful views that make it perfect for a relaxed afternoon. And you really can’t beat the sunsets at the pier; they’re absolutely stunning and capture everything that makes Ventura special. If you’re visiting with kids, Sky Zone is a fantastic spot for them to burn off energy and have a blast. Overall, Ventura has a little bit of everything, making it a fun and inviting place to explore.

Beautiful town. Lovely people. Amazing shops and restaurants downtown. Gorgeous winding roads through farms and vineyards. Plenty of wineries and some distilleries. Close to interesting and beautiful coastal cities with charming downtown areas. Close to San Luis Obispo for bigger events and city activities. I was downtown for Halloween and it was like something out of a Hallmark movie. An adorable, small town vibe! Highly recommend.

This was our second visit to Cambria. I love the quaint shops and the friendly people. It has an easy relaxed feel and we intend to visit again😄. We visited Hearst Castle which we have seen before, but were very excited to see it all lit up for Christmas. The patrons were wonderful making us feel the era and what it would have been like being a guest of Mr. Hearst. Amazing place.

What a great small city, beautiful beautiful place and peaceful I’d live there in a heartbeat if I could You will breathe fresh air which is a huge bonus from where I come from! Just down the street is the infamous Solvang, which is a great place to shop and has lots of yummy places to eat. I like to go down and stroll the shops and hit up a pub and have a hamburger and a beer or a glass of wine. One thing I really like about Buellton, is Solvang is literally less than five minutes down the road. Such an amazing and fun little town! This is where I’m going to come shopping for Christmas presents because the shops there are amazing. You can find something for everyone, even on a budget. There is a trolly too! Wine tasting is so much fun! The candy shops are yummy too!
