“Cozy escape”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed in the ocean front patio King room. The check in was smooth and the person at the front desk escorted us to our room and also made dinner reservations for us at Robins in Cambria and gave us a coupon to use there. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the view was amazing, well worth the extra bucks we had to fork out for this room. The decor is a little dated but I mean who cares as long as you can see the blue Pacific outside. The gas log fireplace, along with the binoculars and the fully charged flashlight provided for guests to use during their stay were an appreciated amenity. Although the room faces the main road, the traffic noise along with the crowds walking up and down the boardwalk on moonstone beach are not too bothersome. The breakfast was filling and although it did not include any regular hot savory items, the fresh waffles ( made for us by a helpful server), the sweet pastries and bakery items along with hard boiled eggs and a great selection of cereals and fruit made it perfect. The only problem was that the breakfast room/area is extremely small and you will have to carry your breakfast back to your room on trays provided for this purpose. There is also coffee, tea and sparkling cider available all day in the lobby area. All of the above made for a perfect and cozy stay at the Sand Pebbles Inn.

Room Tip: The splurge for an ocean front patio room is worth it.

“Beautiful location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed here for a family birthday get together. The rooms are cozy and welcoming. With the window open you can sleep with the roar of the ocean. Beds were comfortable and there is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The staff is friendly and helpful. We found fresh baked cookies on our door knob when we returned from sightseeing. The breakfast is very good with waffles made to order, lots of fresh fruit and fruit cups, yogurt, bagles, toast, cereal, etc. The location is directly across from the ocean. There is a wooden walkway to enjoy the beautiful views. I booked on line as they had a special for on line only and though we stayed midweek, the rates were very competitive. There are numerous hotels along Moonstone Beach but this is our favorite.

Room Tip: The Deluxe rooms have a view of the ocean.

“Exactly what we were hoping for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We spent two nights here for a girlfriends' getaway and it was perfect. Our upstairs corner room had a fantastic ocean view, a cozy gas fireplace, very comfy beds, and crisp white linens. It was sparkling clean and the toiletries smelled like fresh oranges. The desk staff was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the complimentary cookies, and the free continental breakfast included delicious little pastries (be sure to try the cinnamon scones!), fresh fruit, and hard-boiled eggs as well as make-it-yourself waffles and other expected goodies. The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean, and there is a boardwalk all along the beach that offers a perfect place to power-walk or stroll (we were entertained by dolphins and seals as we got our exercise). Although we were there in January, the weather was beautiful. Really, I can't think of any negatives about this place!

Room Tip: Oceanfront rooms are right on the street, but there is very little traffic at night so noise is not...

“Very comfortable, great location”

We stayed only one night in the junior suite, in January (off season). Although the room wasn't one with a view (they were clear about this in the description ) it was very comfortable, and the breakfast was great. Service was excellent. Very happy with our stay, and wished we could stay another night.
