Sands by the Sea Motel
What Guests Say
We stay here often and notice the improvements in cleaning. The location can't be beat, sleeping to the sound of crashing waves and all of the great amenities including fire pits, pools, outdoor checkers & chess, volleyball and fantastic ocean facing seating. This trip they generously gifted each room with champagne, plastic flutes, horns, beads and hats to celebrate the New Year.

Exceeded expectations - we loved having access to the connected resort's facilities like the bonfires at night, pool and hot tub, and ocean views! Bed was super comfy.

The staff at the reception were accommodating and check-in process was smooth. The location was near to restaurants, convenienve stores, and walking distance to the beach. There is also a coin laundry by the hotel itself. Parking space is a bit tight but it is not an issue as we got to park right infront of our room during the duration of our stay.

The status of our room was alittle bizarre. Granted it was warm...but why would you allow a room to be at 80 degrees when you check in knowing there is no ac in the room and would take hours....all night...to cool off? our room with windows open and fan never got lower than 75 for our stay. no bath mat in bathroom, and although nice to have machines in the shower, if one is broken...why wouldn't you replace or reinstall?

located near the Hurst Castle which we had a tour scheduled. breakfast ~ they gave us vouchers for the restaurant next door for like $5.00 off the meal OR you could get the FREE continental breakfast instead ~ which was toast and coffee. We did both and very satisfied with price. Room was comfortable with microwave and fridge and coffee maker.

Loved the price and the ability to walk down to the beach. I liked that there was a complimentary yoga/pilates class offered, but didn't have the availability to take advantage of it.

Access to the beachfront walkways, fire pits, gathering areas of the Cavalier Resort next door (its sister property). Enjoyed sitting watching the waves after dinner. Good budget option for visiting Hearst Castle-10 minute drive & San Simeon. Clean accommodation-comfy bed and hot shower. Loved having the Cavalier Restaurant next door for breakfast and supper. Food was great! Hotel staff w were friendly! Overall great option!

We enjoy this location very much. Like that it is pet friendly, nearby eateries, and convenient store. Also staying right on the cliffs, it’s great to listen to the waves all day and night.
