The staff is always helpful. The property has had a lot of nice renovations and upgrades. We’ve stayed about 5 times now. The only thing I wish they would consider is putting distance between bookings that have children and bookings that don’t.

It was a very good stay

Our stay was most enjoyable and your staff were very friendly and accommodating. The paint was pealing on the ceiling above the shower, but everything else was well kept. Also, the ghost was cordial and added flavor to the experience.

The place itself was not bad, but after this stay, I will stay anywhere without a staff on property overnight anymore. Around 8pm, I used the toilet for the first time and realized the handle was not working. Of course staff was gone for the day already. My husband and I attempted to fix it but could not. We have to remove the toilet tank cover and pull it from the inside to flush each time. I tried to message them on their app system but no response. Even the next day when we checked out, no staff to be seen. I messaged them again after I left, still no response. Also, room that we got seems smaller than what I booked/not as described. So I sent them an email to ask. Not surprised, no response.

Pleasant and Comfortable stay

The Rigdon House is a quaint, older hotel located in the heart of downtown. My wife and I love staying due to its close proximity to all the shops and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet. The maid service is excellent. We have stayed there 8 times in the past 5-years. Our only, and continued request, is they continue to update the rooms and provide better water pressure for the showers. I understand water conservation and the need to put restrictors on the heads but the amount of water that trickles out is ridiculous, requiring extended time to completely rinse. Still, The Rigdon House is a great value for the price, and I continue to recommend it to others

The Rigdon House has declined since we first started staying there several years ago. We probably would book different accomodations the next time we stay in Cambria

We loved the location, and the room was a good size for the 2 of us to spread out. There were ants in the little kitchen area and it could use a bit of a refresh with some paint inside and out but overall very charming. Loved the back patio and happy hour!
