Cambria Beach Lodge

"The Cambria Beach Lodge was our last stop on our two week roadtrip. The hotel is super cute, the room spacious and the beds and shower wonderful. Breakfast in the morning was in the lobby which was delicious with several flavor cakes, oatmeal, fruit, boiled eggs and orange juice/coffee/tea. the Lodge is directly across the beach and boardwalk. It's absolutely gorgeous. We brought our little dog and he had a fabulous time too. We definitely will be back."
