The property is quite large with many two-story buildings with four to six units per building in each one. We had a king-sized bed with a gas fireplace in the bedroom and a livingroom and kitchenette with another fireplace and queen-murphy bed. The room worked great for us because we (my boyfriend and I) were traveling with my grandparents and wanted separate sleeping quarters without having to get two rooms.

The furnishings are very comfy - knotty, pine style chairs and an oversized sofa for unwinding at the end of the day.

One of the highlights of the hotel is the beatiful gardens on the property ranging from a certified organic kitchen garden, to a rose garden, gazebo garden, and even an old bedroom set that has been planted with a beautiful array of greenery and flowers.

The fireside lounge is also a very relaxing place to sit and have a glass of wine or a cocktail fireside before dinner -- we did just that.

The staff at the desk is very friendly and attentive.

My only complaint was that we really wanted to go in the hot tub after dinner, but found that it was closed due to the heater breaking earlier that night. The staff did offer to have us go to one of their other properties, but we didn't want to travel that far.

Also, the ceiling didn't seem to be too thick because I could hear the people walking in the room upstairs, but it wasn't a bother to me personally.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Cambria Pines Lodge. We already want to go back again just to relax and enjoy the scenery.

It is only 10 minutes from the Hearst Castle and it is next door to the Cambria Nursery (owned by the same people I think) that is definitely worth checking out!
