Cambria Pines Lodge

Cambria Pines Lodge

8/10 Good
"I really wanted to love this stay, but ultimately I did not. It's a nice property and a historic site. Beautiful grounds and right outside Cambria. Two to three minute drive. A five-minute walk if you want to use a steep, long staircase. Food was good. The lounge is nice, but the entertainment varies. The service was terrible. I requested someone to come and lift the Murphy bed back in place. A man came, but said he could only lower it. He could not raise it. On the morning we checked out, we requested coffee from the restaurant, but that's not something the offer. I then requested more coffee for the room (it comes in packets, like tea). Nothing came, I requested again. I called four times before someone finally dropped it off shortly before checkout. I want to give them another try. It's a unique experience with nice, if rustic, accommodations. But I'll go with a more self-sufficient mindset. Service is spotty, at best."
