The Spotlight on Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach

Cozy Beachfront Comfort Near Cambria's Music Scene


Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach is a charming, coastal retreat located just three miles from Cambria’s town center. With its beachfront setting, outdoor heated pool, and in-room fireplaces, the hotel offers the perfect mix of coastal relaxation and rustic charm. Whether you're road-tripping up the California coast or catching a show nearby, this inn is a peaceful place to unwind after the music fades.

Why Concert-goers love it


Guests love the quiet, oceanside atmosphere—ideal for decompressing after a loud night out. It's within easy driving distance of venues in Cambria and San Simeon, and the 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals stress-free. The property is far enough from the main road to be peaceful, but still close to town for grabbing a late bite or drink.

Who this Hotel is great for


- Couples looking to turn a concert into a romantic weekend
- Solo travelers dreaming of music and ocean sunsets
- Groups wanting a scenic, low-key home base
- Fans needing quiet recovery time after the show
- Budget-conscious travelers who value comfort and views

Food and Drink Options


While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers snacks and drinks at the gift shop, and Cambria’s quaint eateries are just minutes away. Many nearby restaurants stay open late, and breakfast cafés open early for post-show mornings.

Nightlife Options


Though the hotel itself is more about ocean breezes than bass beats, Cambria’s local wine bars and lounges are just a short drive away. For something livelier, San Luis Obispo’s nightlife is reachable for a bigger night out.

What People Say


Guests rave about the ocean views, fireplaces in every room, and friendly staff. Many mention how refreshing it is to wake up to the sound of waves after a high-energy concert. The heated pool and clean, spacious rooms also earn high marks.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests note that the property is slightly dated in places, and it's a short drive to most concert venues, so having a car is helpful. Also, there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, which may be a drawback for late-night cravings.

The Bottom Line


A peaceful, oceanside stay with just enough charm and comfort to be the perfect post-concert escape.

Not As Advertised. Paid For...

Liked: The patio facing the ocean. The ease of parking, but then the hotel wasn’t full. Check in.
Disliked: Our room was underwhelming. It was advertised and priced as an upscale room/experience. However it was very ordinary. The advertised upscale bathroom amenities were lacking, the plush robes were not provided, the gas fireplace had a negligible flame, the lighting was poor, the bedding was thin and used looking, the furniture was uncomfortable, and the walls were thin. The only plus was the patio facing the ocean. When I asked about the robes I was told these were no longer provided. When I said this was advertised on their own website, I was told it wasn’t. When I sent a screenshot from their website that day which stated these things, I received no further response.

Best decision on the PCH!

Liked: The Fireside Inn exceeded my expectations in every way! I knew the location would be great, but the hotel was the cherry on top of the whole visit to Moonstone Beach! The beds, linens and pillows were crisp, fresh and clean. Loved the warm wood floors. The bathroom was spacious, clean, and well-appointed.
Disliked: Small thing: we weren’t told about morning coffee being offered in the common room by the pool when we checked in. I just happened to find it while exploring one morning.
