  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was clean and staff was courteous upon checking in and also when checking out. Would definitely recommend staying at the Sand Castle Inn.

    Well this place isn't great. We had a pair of underwear in our room when we got there and just so we're clear they were not ours. The shower has horrible water pressure and the TV doesn't work very well. It kept skipping and acting like it was having a hard time loading. This was in both rooms we had since they switched our room due to the underwear in the first room. The beds were decent and that's about the only good thing I can say about this place. You get what you pay for I guess. I thought with all the good reviews it would at least be decent but sadly it was not. Oh yeah the parking is terrible as well.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great spot because access to airport, shopping and restaurants. I can't complain about a thing.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean hotel, comfortable bed. Perfect for a quick safe overnight stay

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Hotel room was clean. The walls are a bit thin, but otherwise no complaints. It's within walking distance to a few restaurants.

    I love how they furnish you with the best shampoo and conditioner. Lotion is a little runny

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We had a great stay. The hotel is walking distance to a shopping center and not too far from the beach. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were very clean, I have no complaints at all

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Friendly staff, clean updated rooms, comfortable beds.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff were friendly and helpful though it took awhile for someone to come. I guess because it looked like a family is running the whole place by themselves. Room was clean an fully stocked. The only complaint was the AC needed to be reset for it to work. I would stay again. We love the code to enter the room so no more issue with key cards.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Check in and check out with the owners were not the friendliest. The area was safe enough. The room itself was clean and updated but very small and cramped. Air conditioner worked fine as did the fridge and microwave. The TV worked only one of the two days we were there. Parking can be limited. Area is walkable. Shower temperature was good but the pressure was low. Wooden blinds over the window looked nice, but let a lot of light in. Less than 10 minutes to Monterey. No breakfast. Mostly quiet. Overall, decent for a short stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    As usual, it was great

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I like the location in the middle of everything. I would say at night kinda hard to find parking

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Friendly Staff; clean, comfortable room.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Dead bolt wouldn’t lock. Had to use force to lift the door to make it work. Then it took two of us to forcibly unlock the bolt.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was close to everything and well maintained ☺️
