Top Sand City Hotel Reviews

The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"Awesome location, very walkable to downtown and the wharf. The room itself was pretty average but clean and had everything we needed for a short stay."

Hotel Abrego

8/10 Good

"Everything was wonderful. Beautiful, clean place. Had a luxurious feel to it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that if you booked through a 3rd party like Expedia, you will be charged an additional 20.00 for the amenities, which is specifically for the breakfast, parking and the free wine you get (even if they clearly advertise that these are "included" in your booking). Be careful too, because Hotels.com or Expedia will charge a "property fee" of 20.00. If you ask what that is for, they will say it is for the breakfast, parking and the free wine BUT you will get charged an additional 20.00 by the hotel again. I disputed this, and I still haven't received my refund. The hotel itself was a wonderful experience. I am just very very upset with the deception and extra charges, when the ad clearly states the amenities are free. I chose this place over another because of the free breakfast, which is your typical continental breakfast. Little did I know, after checking in I would be charged for it."

Lone Oak Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for exploring Monterey and Carmel! We had a great stay at Lone Oak Lodge during our trip along the California coast. The location was ideal for exploring both Monterey and Carmel, giving us a convenient base to visit the surrounding area. We stayed for one night before continuing our journey south along Highway 1 towards Los Angeles. It was a perfect overnight stop and fitted really well into our road trip. Overall, a great location and a convenient place to stay when exploring this beautiful part of California. We would happily stay here again!"

Courtyard By Marriott Sand City Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is brand new, beautiful with updated fixtures. Love that we have microwave and refrigerator in the room. The live music was great, the hotel staff very friendly and informative. However, I don’t like that we got charged $15 for parking across from the hotel with no security or gate."
