I have stayed here numerous times over the years, and am always delighted. This time though, I had misgivings. The front desk allowed a drunken party of 6 to move in next door, who yelled and screamed until 8.30pm. The beds are uncomfortable and need to be replaced. The breakfast is from 8am to 10 am. This is too short;... More

A truly wonderful small inn located on the stunning drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We only spent one night at Sand Pebbles in a full ocean view room (218) and cannot say enough about our experience. Ample off-road (free) parking was great, the check-in was very welcoming and hassle free and the inn is within walking distance from... More

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful providing DVD's and restaurant recommendations. We took a lovely walk on the oceanfront boardwalk across the road while waiting for our room to be ready. Although our room was right across from the breakfast area and ice machine, there was absolutely no issue with noise. We enjoyed the convenience of having... More

We spent almost 2 weeks travelling in California and this was by far the best place we stayed. The location is absolutely stunning, just across the road from a boardwalk where you can stroll along the beach and take in the beauty of the Pacific. Our room was lovely and had a tiny peek of the sea. There was a... More

The room was clean, had very comfortable beds and was spacious, though the furnishings were somewhat dated. The bathroom was clean and presentable. I liked the view (though limited) of the ocean and since it's right on the beach, I really liked waking up to the sound of the ocean. I only got to stay for 1 night, but definitely... More

Sand Pebbles Inn was the perfect overnight stopping place during our road trip from LA to SFO last month. We had an oceanfront room on the upper (entrance) level and the views were spectacular. Check in was fast and friendly and considering it was cold and stormy outside, the lit fireplace in the room was a romatic and cosy addition.... More

We only spent one night in this lovely hotel/inn, but it was by far our favorite hotel on a recent road trip in California. The front desk staff could not have been more helpful. The room amenities were great - ocean view, spacious room. luxury bath with spa toiletries, fireplace, chocolates, and homemade cookies. The DVD library was a nice... More

Let's see, I don't know where to begin.... Okay, first let's start with the staff.. Everyone was absolutely charming! Be sure to ask for the property manager. He's a buttercup and has been a long time resident and knows a lot of history about Cambria and the central coast. 2nd.. the morning breakfast!! awesome organic teas, mini & belgian waffles,... More

This hotel is a nice little find if you're ever in the Big Sur area, particularly if visiting the Hearst Castle in San Simeon. The hotel is in the lovely beachfront community in Cambria, about 10 minutes away from Hearst Castle. The room is very cozy with a fireplace and the most comfortable beds I've ever experienced in a hotel.... More

We stayed two nights at the Inn. Unfortunately one of our rooms was extremely hot so the family ended up sharing one room. Our room was great and the hotel is just steps from the beach. Breakfast is included with the room and the hotel provides chairs and towels when you head down to the beach. Great place for kids.
