“dissapointing”

I'm aware of the fact that this is an Inn/motel in a small town, not a high-profile hotel or anything, but concidering its among the most expensive ones in town, I was suprised by quite a few things.

when arriving in Cambria, I had a slight fever and was greeted by a room temperature of 54°F. the AC/heating was turned off and two windows were left open, this was probably one of the coldest day in decemeber. I guess the idea was to get some fresh air in before the guest arrived but this was a bit too much, it took a few hours to get the room closer to 70 degrees.

the room itself was a pretty standard motel room, a bit shabby but quite clean. the bathroom seemed quite new and was very nice and clean. what kind of irked me were the bedsheets that had quite a bit of holes in them. when pulling the cover off of the bed, I found some twigs and other potpourri looking stuff in the sheets! most of the towels in the room had small tears in them with yarns hanging from corners. I think an upgrade in linens would be in order considering the price level.

the front door of the building downstairs had one of those doorbells that ring when someone opens the door or walks past it. for some reason, we could hear this bell extremely well into our bathroom, after rushing to the door a couple of times I realized it came from down stairs. There was a connecting door in our room through which we could hear a couple arguing in the other room late at night, every sigh was quite hearable in our room.

"Okay, but some problems" is a pretty good description for this place. if the room was $100 less, I wouldn't probably complain about most of the stuff, but being one of the most expensive hotels/inns in town should require some standards and less flaws.

“Location, location, location -- And an excellent place to stay!!!!”

The Burton Inn

3/4 found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at the Burton Inn for three nights leaving New Years day (2008).

The Inn is at an excellent location two blocks off Main Street in the East Village. Within walking distance are excellent restaurants, art studios and quaint gift shops.

The rooms (and bathrooms) at the Burton Inn are HUGE!! We could have comfortably slept several more people in our room :-)

Each night the Inn offers a wine and cheese hour which often goes several hours (at least two nights the wine hour was going on when we left for dinner and when we returned!) In the morning there is breakfast which consists of hot oatmeal, pastries and fresh-made waffles.

They also have an extensive VHS/DVD library and each room has a television with VHS and DVD capabilities.

Terry made us feel right at home and Sophie was the highlight of the stay.

The Inn does show some wear, but to me, that just adds charm!

If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay, at a great location and reasonable price, the Burton Inn is your place!!!!

This small and quaint Inn was a wonderful find on the internet, the price was unbelievable for the service and friendliness we received. Terry & James made us feel very welcome from the moment we set foot inside the building and when we received an complimentary upgrade, it was fantastic, the rooms were to die for and the included breakfast the next morning was one of the best we found on our travels around california, we would highly recommend this inn for as many nights you are able to fit in, its close to the hearst castle so if this is on your itenary, make sure you get in touch with terry and book a room, you won't be sorry

“Inn Not a B&B”

The Burton Inn

4 of 5 stars
Southern California
Nov 27, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

Good location and large two (2) room suite. The breakfast is continental and not the homemade B&B breakfast I expected. The mattress in room twenty (20) is well past its replacement date. I enjoyed the evening wine and conversation.

“Enormous room”

The Burton Inn

4 of 5 stars
Fitchburg, WI
Nov 27, 2007
0/2 found this review helpful

We traveled along the California coast and wanted to stay somewhere near Hearst Castle and found the Burton Inn. It was a nice hotel in a decent part of town with four nearby restaurants and a few galleries.

Our room was #19, and it was simply huge. There was a king bed in the main area, and we then found two more beds inside the room in the sleeping area. There was a TV in the inner room as well as the main room.

The check-in was seamless. Wine tasting was OK - in addition to three bottles of wine, there was also a bottle of pink lemonade, cheese crackers, and nuts. The serving area was a bit cozy.

Breakfast was served in the dining room, and that was definitely small compared to the number of rooms at the inn. The serving area was very packed. The food was OK - there were oversized cut fruits, cereals, and a few (countable) slices of ham. Breakfast was not ready until 820 on the day we visited, although the innkeeper said that breakfast should start at 8. When we arrived at the lobby, two other couples were already waiting. The pot of hot water was boiling, and the water temperature was certainly not suitable for tea.
