We discovered Cambria on our honeymoon 18 years ago, and ever since, it's been one of our favorite destinations. We had stayed in many places, including lodgings on Moonstone Beach...however, a few years ago we stayed at the Bluebird and that's been our choice since then. Great staff, helpful, friendly and very accomodating......good rooms, especially if you choose a creekside... More

Where else can you sit on your porch and watch a variety of birds feeding and the singing if the frogs at night is heavenly!! The grounds are fabulous. The rooms are immaculate. Close to everything . Lovely fireplace in room. Coffee and coffee cake in the morning. Local newspaper. Great office employees

This is a great stop if you are driving down Route 1 to see the Pacific Coast. we did the San Francisco, Monterrey down to LA drive in late March, and decided to stop in Cambria overnight. We got into Cambria around 7.30pm and checked out a couple of other hotels before stumbling into BlueBird Inn. Walked in and asked... More

This motel is an old-timer. it gets by on value. It's clean and neat but shows it's age. It's a good value, it's centrally located to walk to most restaurants in the main part of town. I think I would check out some others in the same area next time.

We had never been to Cambria before and asked someone, a former travel agent, for a referral. She sugested the Bluebird, which is located in the downtown area-- easy walking to shops,... More

We were on a driving holiday & we arrived here as a drop in. The receptionist was lovely & reception area extremely welcoming. You can sit here in front of the fire in the evenings if you choose. Standard motel rooms which are a little dated but clean. Small town so you can walk to everything. Would stay again.

This is a slightly upscale roadside motel. The backyard is very beautiful. I would recommend it but the price stings, especially since the location is away from the ocean and on the main strip. ,..........................
