Top Sand City Hotel Reviews

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was difficult. We did not get the room I requested (one with a fireplace) and the room we were given had not been renovated and smelled funny. Went back to the desk and he said there were only 2 other rooms available and he didn't know which rooms had fireplaces. I checked out the 2 rooms and one did have a fireplace which we later discovered did not work. I mentioned to the staff that while I had previously give a glowing review, I might have to give a different on this time and he said"I don't care". The worst."

Bay Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights broke up over 5 days. One frustration on two mornings was the smoke detector. It went off for 10 minutes both mornings. It occurred when we ran our steamer or right after we all showered. My guess is the steam triggered it. Had to keep resetting. Even had the fan on and windows open the whole time. Price…what you expect. Comfortable bed. Clean shower. Clean room. Have another stay booked next month."

Courtyard By Marriott Sand City Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"This was a cute hotel. Having a balcony was my favorite part. Rates on the coast in the summer are high everywhere but this was cheaper than some because of its location in Sand City. It was easy to get everywhere I wanted to go in Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. The room was very nice and the bathroom was exceptional with two separate areas. The staff was very nice and let me check in early. There was a very nice outside area where there was even a group exercise class one night. My room had a view of the ocean."
