Good option, and room.
Marc Cedrick
Room was clean and staff was amzing
Richard
All good
Lilianflor
The rooms were very clean and staff is extremely helpful. Our room came with a refrigerator and microwave and that was beneficial. Check in was a breeze even late at night. Establishment is at a great location and 20 mins away from the aquarium. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Pierre
Updated and clean.
Nathalie

Diana
First time staying here and we were truly satisfied. Room was very clean and roomy. Full size soap, shampoo/conditioner, dispenser. Fridge was a great size too. Bathroom had a window and pretty spacious! On site washer and dryer, Ice machine, water station and vending machine with drinks. Super close to shopping center with a Costco, Target, gas station restaurants,etc. There is an Italian restaurant adjacent to the hotel. Staff was polite and friendly, and easy check-in. Plenty of parking and well lit lots. Couldn't really hear other guests, so that was a plus. We'll definitely be staying here again.
John
The room was clean but just okay ! The lady that checked us in didn’t seem very happy more irritable. Coffee maker was an epic failure, they put the wrong pods in there.
Roxy
When you first drive in you can tell it’s an older hotel, but the rooms inside are really nice and the beds are comfortable, and everything was nicely cleaned
Dory
Great value
Walter
very clean well kept
Karina
We only stayed one night after six days of camping, but overall we had a good experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues with it.
There was a small problem at check in because, somehow, my reservation was made for two rooms instead of one. The staff resolved it and refunded the extra room, which I appreciated.
The only downside was that construction started in a room just one door down from us at 7:00 a.m. If we had been staying longer, that probably would have been an issue. Fortunately, we were already up early packing to leave. On the bright side, it was nice to see they are remodeling and updating the rooms.

Christopher
Very friendly staff, good place if you are traveling with pets
Adam
The property had friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and had laminated flooring, which I prefer over carpet, and not to far from the beaches and fisherman's warf. The only concern I had was the area ( neighborhood) of the hotel itself wasn't great.
Brittany
I had a really nice stay at this hotel. It was clean, had all the useful amenities in the room, and I felt safe traveling alone there. I really appreciated the card-less entry into the room, it made adventuring much easier not having to worry about losing my key card and just entering a code to get in. The property looks like it is in the process of being updated/remodeled, and I was in an updated room. I think this was a great budget-friendly hotel, very near to beach access and restaurants, but outside of the hustle and traffic of Monterey. The only downside was that there were no blackout drapes, just cute beachy shutters that had light come through more than blackout drapes would, but it was fine.
Meagan
Staff was very accommodating and the location was perfect for us

Great room at a great price. Close to Cannery Row.
Shailesh
Everything was okay !! Bud the bed mattress is just too below the standards.
madelyn
My adult kids loved it
Anthony
We've stayed at Sand Castle Inn several times this year alone, and it has become our go-to place whenever we're in Seaside. The rates are very reasonable, the location is convenient, and the owners are some of the friendliest and most accommodating people you'll meet. They always make us feel welcome and genuinely appreciate their guests.
A special thank you to the housekeeping staff. They do an outstanding job. After spending all day out exploring the Monterey Peninsula, it's always nice to come back to a clean, refreshed room. Their hard work definitely doesn't go unnoticed and is one of the reasons we continue coming back.
If I had one small suggestion, it would be to update the guest washer and dryer. Having reliable laundry facilities makes a big difference for travelers, especially during longer stays or road trips. It's certainly not a dealbreaker, just something that would make an already great experience even better.
Overall, we've had consistently positive experiences here and will absolutely be back again. Thank you to the owners and staff for your hospitality and for making each stay enjoyable!

Clean and spacious room
Maritza
My stay was great! I’m someone who really cares about cleanliness and Sand Castle Inn did a great job. My only concern was the shower and I sadly didn’t bring it to the hotel’s attention. I believe the drain was clogged. Other than that it was great. Staff was super helpful and replaced my towels daily. Thanks!
David
A decent place for a reasonable price.
Olaf
The rooms were clean and quiet at night. The young man at checking in was very helpful and polite. I enjoyed interacting with him. It was a pleasure.
Emmanuel

Everything works great!
Karla
Very clean rooms. We were very happy with our stay.
Kelly
Our room was clean which is the most important thing for me. There could be some attention to basic maintenance in some areas of the room, but overall I had no issues. The first night we arrived late and there was no onsite parking available as the lot was full. We were able to park on the street though and it was not an issue. The rest of the time we were easily able to find parking on site. Beds were comfortable and the property was quiet. We would stay again.
Bano
The property was very clean and well maintained. The rooms were really clean. Service was great.
Jailene
Clean, comfortable, always accommodating. Our go to stay when we’re in town
James
Room was clean and staff was courteous upon checking in and also when checking out. Would definitely recommend staying at the Sand Castle Inn.
Jared
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.

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

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

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
Yolonda
The room was clean and totally accessible to all stores and restaurants easy to travel del Monte st to get to Monterey great stay and affordable rates
Esmeralda
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

Friendly staff, clean updated rooms, comfortable beds.

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.

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.
Catarina
They didn't even let me check in. Apparently a sister property has an issue with me from the past and I was not allowed to check in. I wasn't offered a refund or given an option. I am planning on suing this place. That's was my hard earned money.

As usual, it was great

We've stayed many many times over 2 hrs now and have always been greeted pleasantly. Rooms clean, quiet, we like it here

Friendly Staff; clean, comfortable room.

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.
Ingrid
Good place
Zerbine
It was close to everything and well maintained ☺️
Jeff
Good hotel overall. It would be nice if there were more parking spaces. The tv worked but couldn’t connect to the channels. I’m guessing a WiFi or satellite problem.

There’s a lot to like about the Sand Castle Inn. The staff at both check-in and check-out were friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal—close to Monterey but far enough away to avoid the crowds and tourist congestion.
The room looked exactly as pictured and was spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed and quality linens. I especially appreciated the small details: a quiet mini fridge (rare!), no overpowering carpet or chemical odors, strong A/C, and reliably hot water. Traveling with a dog can be hit or miss, but they accommodated us with a quiet second-floor room toward the end of the building, which made a big difference. Parking was easy, and having an excellent Italian restaurant next door was a bonus.
A few minor drawbacks: there’s a food truck behind the building near the Legion of Honor that created a noticeable fish smell outside (though it never made its way into the room), the plantation blinds—while nicer than curtains—let in a bit of light, and there isn’t much greenery nearby for dog walking.
Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, and well-run property with great hospitality. It’s affordable, conveniently located near Highway 1 and local attractions, and offers excellent value for the price. It’s hard to beat what you get here at this price point.

Facility was clean. Parking was full. The lock on door was just a little latch . It was just an ok place to sleep
Karla
The room was very clean.

Everything is fine
Matt
It was a nice clean motel.
Adrian
The stay overall was really great! everything was pretty clean except one of the top covers but we just took it off the bed and it was perfectly fine. the staff was really friendly and helpful, the room was nice and has bottles of hand wash/body wash, shampoo and conditioner already there for you which was so nice. the parking situation is not the best but for their prices it was really great!
Kris
Clean room, good parking
Lynda
The air conditioning worked well. They have just enough parking for each room. The rooms were clean. I would not consider this property newly updated. You can hear the people walking above you, if you have a downstairs room. The bathroom sink in our room was tiny with a very small amount of counter top space around it. The pet fee for our dog was reasonable compared to many other hotels we have stayed at.
Matthew
Older but we maintained and thoughtfully upgraded property. Digital amenities like HDMI aux jack for the television and a code lock system so no card keys. Adequate WiFi. Laminate flooring, VERY good mattress, and plantation blinds in the windows instead of dumb curtains. Very friendly staff. ALSO: 12 EV charging stations.
NOTE: They don't fool with breakfast, but hotel breakfasts are usually lame anyhow. We didn't miss it.
We will definitely book Sand Castle Inn on our next Monterey trip!

Good people here. Clean rooms. There was construction going on during our stay but I can imagine that it will be much more quiet when it's done. The only feedback I would recommend to the management would be to offer different pillow sizes (different firmness if possible ). All four of our pillows were to thick raising our necks to unnatural and uncomfortable positions. Didn't matter if your are a back sleeper or side sleeper.
Kimberly
Very old property in a poor location.

Clean and functional. Building is pretty old but it was a good value.
Altaf
The room was immaculate, with freshly laundered bed linens. The bathroom was spotless, and the toiletries provided were of high quality. The towels were also clean.
Ranae
The room with two queen beds was very large, comfortable, and extremely clean. We were within easy waking distance of many restaurants, and only a short drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We would be happy to stay here again.

Super location.

Parking was easy and safe
Catherine
This was a no frills experience. It served the purpose of a clean, safe place to stay, but it is not something you would go out of the way for.
Chuck
low budget hotel, TV kept going out, the AC didn't work and it said dog friendly, but they charged me $80 a night for two dogs if i had time to find another hotel i would have?
Mehran

Nice stay, friendly staff everything you need is all around!
christopher
This hotel has always served us well it is perfect for our Monterey trips its close enough to all the things we want to do and only 15 minutes to Monterey wharf.
Rooms are always clean with friendly staff.
Other things are personal preferences like the beds are firm and wish they had blackout curtains

Room was clean and well kept. Excellent for our 2 night stay in Monterey and the surrounding areas. Close to downtown without being in the completely busy areas!
Syrrus
Pros: Clean with comfortable beds. The rooms had flooring rather than carpet which is helpful for cleanliness. The bathroom has a small window that opens to the outside for great ventilation. Conveniently located to Monterey.
Cons: This place is loud. There are busy roads all around it and the doors open to the parking lot so you can see/feel people running all over the place outside. The rooms don’t have blackout curtains and the outside is BRIGHT, which means inside the room is bright when you’re trying to sleep. Know before you go: bring a sleep mask and earbuds you can sleep in because earplugs are not enough.

The room was acceptable, with all amenities functioning properly; however, the metal furnishings were rusty. The most significant issue was a strong chemical smell in the room prior to our check-in, which persisted despite opening the windows, resulting in our clothes absorbing the odor.
