Sister vacation with Hearst Castle on itinerary

My sister and I stayed one night at the Sand Pebbles Inn. The view was amazing!! So close to the Hearst Castle..less than 15 minutes. We were able to take in a tour the day of arrival and again the next morning. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a partial view of the ocean in room 207. Breakfast was brought to our room the day we checked out. Definitely one of the best places to stay on the Pacific Coast! We will be back again for future sister trips.

Nice Hotel in a beautiful place

Just as described, nice hotel across the street from beautiful Moonstone beach. A tasty breakfast burrito delivered to our room included with our stay. Coffee maker and supplies in our room. The top sheet was missing with our bedding which was odd. Front desk clerk was friendly. Delicious Moonstone Beach bar and grill a few doors down served us a delicious ribeye steak.
