This hotel had a great location facing the beach where you could easily go down for a nice walk. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and had a comfortable bed for a good nite sleep. They have a very simple breakfast with a small room and chairs to eat in which was fine for... More

We were looking for a place to stay near the Hearst Castle and wanted to be close to the ocean. We have stayed at other places in Cambria before and thought it would be fun to try a new place. This place was really great. It had just enough touch of elegance and panache to make us feel special. The... More

We had an ocean view room (#117) on the ground floor with a full view of the ocean. It was a very nice room with a gas fireplace and a jetted tub bath, but the shower was small and weak with the plumbing coming out of the wall. Would probably stay here again.

In a very nice position overlooking the Pacific Ocean this Inn (motel) provides good accommodation but not exceptional for its rates. We had a queen room with a partial sea view, not particularly big but fairly well appointed , comfortable and clean. Handy for local restaurants but we found the arrangements for breakfast strange in that tables were set out... More

Cambria is a great spot to stay on the PCH. Close to Hearst Castle, the elephant seals at Piedras Blancas, and wineries nearby. Sand Pebbles Inn is a very attractive small hotel on Moonstone Beach Drive. We chose an ocean view king for the vista. The room was spacious and well appointed, bed very comfortable. Nice continental breakfast included and... More

Visited Hearst Castle then spent one night at the Sand Pebbles Inn! The location is ideal for watching the sunset and then watching the sunrise while walking on the beach. The inn is spotless and seems brand new. Walking on the beach in the morning was so peaceful. Saw some seals on the rocks. In paradise!

Sand Pebbles Inn is a small hotel right on the water at Cambria. You can walk out the front door, go across the street, and stroll along the wood planked walkway or chase waves on the sand. The hotel provides extra beach towels and sand toys for younger kids. The front desk staff are very friendly and competent. The breakfast... More

We drive to Cambria from Los Angeles quite often. It use to be twice a year deal prior to acquiring our Prius hybrid. After that, it's more like once to twice a month. Usually it's a weekend day trip, but if we're inclined to stay in Cambria, we always book a room at the Sand Pebbles Inn. The Sand Pebbles... More

This hotel has an amazing view, really comfy beds, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves....how can you too that? The room was clean, shower had good water pressure, and toiletries were of very good quality. Having a continental breakfast was also a nice treat...fruit, oatmeal, cereal, waffles, pastries, coffee and juice were all great options. Overall a... More
