The Entire Staff at Cambria Hotel is absolutely AMAZING. Every single person is extremely hard working and dedicated to what they do. I cannot say enough about the Cambria Hotel in Appleton. 6 Stars out of 5. If you haven't stayed here, YOU SHOULD!

Had a great stay here! Room was clean, bed was super comfortable and slept like a baby both nights with no interruptions. I was on the first floor right near the gym. Gym was also excellent! Very spacious. Only complaint I have is the shower didn’t drain well at all. I was standing in water to my ankles by the end of my shower which are usually about only 7 minutes. Also the refrigerator froze all of my food and there was no way to turn down the temperature.

I came to town because my mom was in the hospital with a serious heart condition. I drove all night and need a room at 5:30 in the morning through the night. The lady at the front desk was super nice and accommodating. Super nice breakfast staff. I would definitely stay here again. Very nice rooms and amenities!

Easy enough location to access, great service and great property. Only complaint I have is that the mattress on the pull-out sleeper sofa is hardly a mattress, I feel like I could have laid the couch cushions down on the ground and would have received better support/comfort than what came out of that couch. Otherwise everything was great!

Our trip was interrupted by my husband having some type of intestinal bug. Robin and Char came in to change the bedding and were so kind and understanding. Needless to say he felt embarrassed but they assured him they would take care of everything and they did. They were two kind efficient ladies. Nicole was running the front desk and has one amazing personality. My family members were bringing necessities for him —meds, correct food etc. She was always welcoming also professional. I told her she was my new best friend. For me Nicole set the tone that made us say - we will be back. Personal can either make up for or accentuate what might need to be improved upon.
