The Spotlight on Cambria Shores Inn

Ocean Views, Coastal Charm, and Concert Convenience

Modern rustic meets seaside serenity at Cambria Shores Inn, a cozy, family-friendly hotel perched steps from Moonstone Beach. Located in the charming town of Cambria and just 31 miles from the Paso Robles Event Center, it's the perfect place to unwind after a high-energy concert or escape for a music-themed weekend getaway. Think surf, sand, and small-town hospitality—all with free Wi-Fi and parking.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its peaceful beachfront location and easy highway access, this inn is a hidden gem for those heading to gigs in Paso Robles or San Luis Obispo. Post-show, return to a quiet room with a flat-screen TV, DVD player, and plush linens. The concierge service is a nice touch if you're looking for late-night food or transport tips, and the free private parking makes late returns easy. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, keep in mind that check-out is a bit early at 8:00 AM—great for road-trippers eager to hit the highway.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a chill place to crash after a show
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert in Paso Robles
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of music and ocean views
  • Fans needing peace and quiet after high-energy nights
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value free parking and Wi-Fi

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you’re just a short walk from oceanfront cafes and local eateries. The staff is happy to recommend spots for late-night bites or early breakfasts. Coffee on the sun terrace with sea views is a relaxing way to start the day after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music at the inn itself, but its location puts you close to Cambria’s cozy wine bars and lounges. For a nightcap, stroll to nearby spots offering local wines and craft beers. If you're up for more action, Paso Robles is a short drive away with post-concert bars and venues.

What People Say

Guests rave about the oceanfront setting, clean and charming rooms, and the friendly, helpful staff. Many note it’s a perfect place to decompress after a busy day, and that the free parking and reliable Wi-Fi are huge pluses. The garden and sun terrace are also popular for relaxing after a show.

Areas for Improvement

The early 8:00 AM check-out isn’t ideal for those who like to sleep in after a late-night encore. And while the beachside location is stunning, you’ll need to drive to get to most concert venues and nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat that’s still within driving distance of major concerts, Cambria Shores Inn hits all the right notes.

Exceptional

Liked: Everything in this hotel was well-thought out to make their guests' stay comfortable and memorable. Loved the small touches such as pet food bowl, gift bag and special bed cover for guests arriving with pets. The breakfast basket delivered every morning was wonderful. Also liked the fact that it had a kitchenette and small patio in the back. Location was 10/10, beach is across the street and the town is a mile away. Staff was very friendly and helpful, the place is clean and well-kept. It was a perfect weekend getaway to get some R&R.
Disliked: Can't think of anything that I didn't like.

Would have given 5stars if...

Liked: Great location and rooms are spacious and amenities are great.
Disliked: Staff appears to lack basic hospitality training-doesn’t acknowledge guests and makes them just stand and wait for extended periods of time when checking in and while they talk amongst each other at their F&B areas.

Last Minute Luxury

Liked: Staff were very attentive, free wine tasting on arrival, comfy beds and spotless rooms. Continental breakfast delivered to the door. Excellent location directly across from beach access on Moonstruck Bay.
Disliked: A higher rate for a double queen room than normal, probably due to booking only 20 hours before arrival:-~

Nice but needs upgrades, over...

Liked: Location is great. Rooms are small but nice
Disliked: The mattresses sink, pillows are hard, walls are thin, no parking left if you come after 8pm. Cost per night is double what it’s worth.
