For the Squibb house the room was clean and quaint. There was coffee, tea and water for everyone to use in the kitchen area. The fridge looked like it not had been cleaned in some time. The shower in the Louise room was broken at the base near temperature knobs, so water sprayed out everywhere when turned on. The overhead light for the bathroom also did not work. Everything else in the room was in working order and it was a pleasant and comfortable stay. Walls are thin so noise from the street and other rooms can be heard easily. I would recommend for a brief stay to anyone in the area.

Thank you for your honest review in areas that we are doing well with and where we might need improvement. We always appreciate our guests to let us know what they need to make their stay more comfortable when they are with us. Also, historical Victorians do have their limit for insulation for noise and the age of the home itself can only offer so much quiet as it has five rooms in close proximity. It has old bones and we love the character! Thank you again, Please do try the Black Barn rooms as they are more modern and insulated on your next adventure to Cambria!

The Squibb House is worth the stay
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Customer service was excellent from checkin to checkout. The morning breakfast was outstanding and the gathering room was well appointed. We stayed in The Hickory room (The Barn) which was slightly smaller than expected but very clean and quiet which was welcome. The only reason we didn't give The Squibb House 5-Stars was the bed. The mattress was exceptionally soft and offered little support, (I'm 6' and weigh 200 lbs) so after 3 nights my back was toast. Mattress needs to be replaced. I hope the other rooms aren't similar. Next time I'll need to call to find out which room has a firmer bed for my sleeping requirements.

Response from The Squibb Houses Crew on 24 Oct 2023
We are thrilled that we met your needs in our service and with our breakfast selections. We hope that in the future you might return again! The mattresses are frequently checked and replaced. Many enjoy the softer versions that we offer, but often is a very subjective taste.

Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I stayed in the Hickory Room on our anniversary trip. The room was as pictured. It was spacious, clean and we slept comfortably. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning and conversations with other guests as we sat around the large dining room table. There are also several smaller tables for guests who want to each by themselves. The hosts were very friendly. We loved the town of Cabria especially the restaurants Robin's (a few doors down from the Squibbs Houses and Madeline's.

The 2nd floor Oak room was superb. Amish furniture throughout. Stylish decor. Comfortable window seat. The shower was spacious and modern. Super clean. The balcony is a great quiet plus, though the concrete surface is broken in 2 places. Parking is on a public street. The breakfast had a limited personal touch with the small home made egg dishes, otherwise it was undistinguished with no fresh muffins or pastries. Too many items from Costco when local honeys etc are available and would be supportive of local producers. To feel more pampered, which the price suggests, would be good. Otherwise the property is an absolute gem. We would love to stay again.

Quaint B&B
Outside—grounds are immaculate! Very well cared for, greeted by sweet little garden. There is no personal check-in, ostensibly because of Covid (really?) 😔 Instructions taped to door, and key hidden. (By the way, if you miss real keys, you’ll like this place.) Hubby and I agreed this is like going back in time (think great grandparents)—and we’re grandparents already. If you like quaint and antique and don’t mind giving up convenience, this is your spot—think creaky floors, pipes that make sounds like a foghorn (sometimes during the night), no television (that’s right), and no maid service/towels/linens. But then it is offset by the friendliest caretaker who provided the yummiest breakfasts, snacks and tea in the afternoon/evening and great conversation.

Indeed, Suzie it is a place that takes you back in time.We take great pride in keeping faithful to the history of the time this home was built. With that said, it is not for everyone. We make sure that we provide the fine details of your stay on all of the sites, including no TV. We are glad that I met your approval as your innkeeper! I do hope that you will try The Black Barn on your next visit!

I seriously hated the idea of on street parking but once there, well, let's face Cambria ain't the big city and there was nothing to worry about. I stayed in the Cherry room and it was an absolute delight. I especially liked having a private entrance. Lots of choices for dining in walking distance.

Nice Area
Room was fine if you were expecting a bed and breakfast with no TV. The third person slept in the loft part of the room with no windows. The morning noise was loud because loft/ balcony was not partianed off completely. We had a private Bedroom. The French doors provided a cool breeze, but full of webs. Would I stay again? For the price yes, but not with 3 adults. Since there’s not alot of people staying, you could cook the eggs to order.

Thank you Dena for your review. It is so very important to thoroughly review the description of the room prior to booking so you can be certain of the expectations prior to your arrival. We are glad however that the price met your standards and our breakfasts offer such an array of choices that we cannot always offer eggs to order but can certainly do so upon request.

We enjoyed our return trip to Squibb Houses. We arrived in Cambria early enough to explore the town, enjoy the flowers, shopping and dinner. The room was as comfortable as the first time. The breakfast was not as diverse as on a Saturday but still plentiful. Squibb Houses still is the best B&B in our book!

Very nice getway at Cambria in a real B&B.
If you are looking for a real B&B, Suibb House is the one: real breakfast, not like others with a basket with limited and not nice food. Chelsea was so nice and the breakfast was delicious and more than enough. Very clean and cozy rooms. Ned at the store next door, also so helpful and kind. We really enjoyed our stay at the Squibb House.

The advertisement for this place is misleading. Arriving, there was no one to let us in - just a letter with instructions. the beds have spring like mattresses. the shower is old and difficult to handle. my wife got burned when she tried to open the water. the breakfast is most disappointing. in the advertisement it is described as superb. it is the pits. it is a buffet style with two things: eggs and bacon. when i wanted to take another portion of bacon - there was no more. do not read the reviews of several years ago. it may have been great once - but now, i would rather have stayed at Motel 6. the advertisement is misleading

Good Day Mr. Rubinsky,We appreciate the time you took to address your concerns with your stay. We especially appreciate when our guests let us know DURING their stay of any situations that are causing them discomfort in any way. You however chose not to do so. As the Squibb House manager, it is my first priority to make sure your stay is of the highest quality in comfort and expectation. That being said, allow me to address your complaints.1, We do not mislead our guests to expect that someone will be there to let them in at all hours of the night. We are available until 5pm at which time we offer self-check in. Instructions are sent to your email and calls are attempted the day before to ensure that you both received them and understood them. You obviously did not read your email to understand this, so, no sir, we are not misleading our guests if they take the time to read their information beforehand.2. You decided to stay in a historical Victorian bed and breakfast. The room you chose had a clawfoot tub with a shower. We are sorry that you did not choose the other nine available stand up shower rooms that we offer. When one turns on any hot water faucet it takes time to heat up. I hope that your wife was not burned too severely! One needs to often adjust utilizing cold to make it safe before entering. The mattress is a very subjective area, I agree. However, you are most certainly the first from the Garden Room to make this complaint. Most of the guests say the quality of our sheets, pillows, and mattresses have offered them the best night's sleep in years.3. As for breakfast...only eggs and bacon? I can guarantee Mr. Rubinsky that you also had offerings of an array of fresh bread, jams, butters, granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee, tea and more! Our reviews speak for themselves and with all due respect, I advise anyone who is reading this to read ALL the reviews - new and old to show just how our reputation over the years has won over our guests time and time again. We also understand that in the world of hospitality, you cannot please them all.We hope that you better enjoy Motel 6. All the best in your future travels.

The room was average, the rattan chairs not very comfortable, but the Black Barn is both comfortable and beautiful. And there are also comfortable seats in the lobby where one could sit. The hot water and Keurig are nice, as well as the little cookies. The shower in Parlor room needs repair, it sprouts water on the side so hair gets wet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay. Our room was comfortable and cosy, nothing needed fixing and the food was great. A special thanks to Tiffany, who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Even though we seemed to be in the heart of East Cambria, we found it to be quiet and peaceful in the evenings. It was great to be able to walk to the many shops and restaurants that surround this B&B.

(8/10) Good downtown location. Nice lounge with the dining table, chessboard and couches in the barn. Coffee and tea. (2/10) Poor quality mattress, very soft. No ventilation in the room, kept waking up because of that. Small sink in the room, very basic bathroom (no sink there). (5/10) Two entrances: One from the lounge, the other one - from the garden. A small gas fireplace and a couch. (10/10) The innkeeper - Tiffany - was just great. She did everything and then some. The entire place literally runs on her energy. Hope this helps. A.M.
