Cambria Beach Lodge - King Bed A

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Nice little motel with modern feel, directly across the road from the beach. Plenty of space in the room for a couple. Nicely updated bathroom. Super comfy pillows and comforter. Rooftop deck with ocean views is a great place to relax. Lobby is inviting with views and a fireplace. Coffee, tea, and light breakfast was perfect. Close to town and a short drive from Hearst Castle makes it a perfect spot.

Queen Kitchen Studio-Disneyland/Knott's Berry Farm

TakdirRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I had a three night stay here and I was very pleased! We arrived earlier, and were able to check in couple hours prior for no additional cost. The rooms were exactly as described and listed. It is a very cute stay and completely different vibe (in a good way) from a big chain hotel. The staff is friendly - they are very easy to communicate with. Very close to Disneyland! Highly recommend.

King Suite in Boutique hotel in Solvang

LauraRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I took a mini road trip with my kids (3, 5, and 8) and they loved the location and the room. Unfortunately the picture didn't match the room. Instead of the 2 futons in the picture there was one couch and 2 chairs. I was planning to have one kid on each couch. We made it work and the kids slept so that is always a win traveling with kids. Great place, just needs updated pictures with furniture change. Very peaceful.

Inn at Mount Shasta, King Suite

MaliaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

This was my first visit to Shasta and my first solo trip—and The Inn at Mt. Shasta made it truly memorable. The room was clean, the location felt safe, and the entire staff was so kind and helpful. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how welcomed and at ease I felt here. Even when I accidentally locked my keys in the trunk (ugh!), the front desk staff went above and beyond to help—looking up a local tow company and offering genuine support. That kind of comfort and care means so much when you’re on your own. When I come back to Shasta, this is absolutely where I’ll stay again!

If I could leave a million stars I would. Tara’s cabin is a hidden gem wonderland along the stream. A perfectly hot jacuzzi overlooking the trees. Sounds of nature and birds. The staircase is magnificent. The bed super comfy. The kitchen fully stocked. The atmosphere is a dream. I am so so so so grateful I stumbled across this incredible place to restore my body, spirit and mind. And Tara is the friendliest kindest person! Was on top of whatever I needed. Truly cares to provide her guests a serene peaceful stay.

StephanieRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

It was such a delight to stay in this room! The Whale Watch Inn is such a peaceful and beautiful environment— there were stunning views both from the room and from the common room, and there were lots of green spaces and benches throughout the property. My pup and I had a wonderful time. Miren was also a very welcoming and kind host. The Inn seemed to be maybe not fully active—there were surprisingly few other people on the property—I’m not sure why, since it’s an ideal escape with the beach access and an easy drive away from lots of food options!
