Sands by The Sea

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, comparable to a motel 6. The room service was nice, the staff was prompt and friendly. The main perk is this hotel shares the same grounds and accommodations as The Cavalier Resort. The evening staff were very welcoming and attentive. Loved the fresh baked cookies at check-in. The morning staff weren't rude, just not as enthusiastic as the others. Wi-Fi was good. The attached restaurant was amazing, also is where your room service comes from. Would definitely recommend and visit again, this is a good budget and family friendly choice."

Hampton Inn San Simeon Cambria

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Staff was very helpful from check-in to check-out."
