I liked the location close to the beach . The bed was comfy and staff were friendly . It would have been nice to have had a continental breakfast or a reduced or complementary breakfast from the Cavalier Restaurant . I was glad I could bring my pups . We visited to get away from the noise of 4 th of July
No offer of a complimentary or reduced breakfast

Fijne locatie aan zee.
Accommodatie had wat schoner gekund.
Erg jammer en onnodig dat na 4 weken de gereserveerde borg nog steeds niet ingetrokken is op onze credit card!

Sands is well-kept and gives a typical coastal side vibe. Staying here also means access to beautiful cliff side views you can climb down and or enjoy from a bench.
Sands is also located in between downtown Cambria and the elephant seals tourist spot.

Room had been reset but sheets were wrinkly and dirty, bathroom had toilet paper on the floor, dirty carpet, hairs on the walls, a dirty towel. Found a bug crawling on husband’s leg in the bed. moved rooms at 10.30pm - reception wasn’t overly surprised at our request. moved to room in Cavalier next door, much cleaner.

The location was perfect. Close to the beach and fisherman's wharf.
The hot tub didn't work, and there was no hot water this morning.

GREAT location right by the beach, with a big area between the motel and the climb down (or steps) to the beach. In that big field are paths to walk on, a giant sized chessboard, checkerboard, tic-tac-toe, a cornhole game, and three fire pits (the motel supplies the firewood & keeps the fires lit) with chairs provided, plus other chairs & small tables near the large games. All of that was a big surprise!
Well, this Sands by the Sea motel is owned by the motel immediately next door (for about a decade now, they say). The downside of that is that the "Sands" office isn't staffed and its pool is locked up.
The upside of that is that you pay a great price for a basic motel room, but next door (a very short walk), you get to enjoy the perks of the fancier motel next door (two swimming pools, the aforementioned games and fire pits). The "free breakfast" isn't as complete as one gets at a Best Western or Quality Inn. You each get a voucher for each morning that you'll be there: good for toast OR English muffin and coffee OR orange juice -- or the voucher can be used as $5 toward the cost of a menu item -- breakfasts from the menu are $12-14, coffee $3, juice $4 -- you see how it can add up. Cinnamon rolls are $5, so you could order that with a glass of water, if you wanted that from the menu at no additional expense.
