Hotel di Sand City

"From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, the team there was exceptional. Shoutout to Jennifer from the lounge who was super busy but gave us her undivided attention. It was super busy due to a line dance party going on at the patio. She was great!!"

"Excellent stay!"

"Breakfast is very good"

"Great location"

"The place is convenient for me. The staff at the desk couldn’t answer my questions. The breakfast is very limited to instant coffee, yogurt, cereal and bread. The rug in my room was filthy. The cleaning service was excellent."

"The room itself was adequate for a one-night stay, and check-in was straightforward. Other than that, there was nothing particularly unique or memorable about the property. The biggest issue was that the pool, which was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel, was closed despite being advertised as open daily. When I asked about it, I was told it is generally only open on weekends, which contradicted the information provided when I made the reservation. The continental breakfast was also...

"Clean room. Friendly staff. Easy check-in. Just a little of road noise. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was very good and staff was helpful."

"Great staff! Super helpful even after we checked out and thought we left something!!"

"Breakfast food always out ; refills not fast enough @ 8am and not a lot of guest. Hotel's showing age in carpet ,bathroom wall & grout. Overall stay is ok. I stayed in this place many times & did not know that they are now pet friendly - I have a child who is allergic to pet dander."

"The room was very nice, the staff were friendly and professional and the breakfast buffet was one of the better that we've experienced."

"We enjoyed our stay here in June 2026. The weather was still cool enough that we just had the ceiling fan on. We later realized the window was slightly open so we had a cool breeze coming in, so the room was already cool. We were 4 girls staying in one room (double occupancy) and it was spacious enough for us, except there was 3 bath towels. We forgot a stuff toy after check out and called the hotel asking about it. They offered to ship it back to us but fortunately we were still in town so we...

"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...

"The staff was very friendly but the hotel needs an upgrade. For the price I understand but just a little goes a long way.. For one night emergency it was fine."

"Great restaurant."

"A comfortable stay, quiet, clean room. Added bonus is definitely being right on the beach and watching the sealions congregate :)"

"The Quail is quaint and charming! The restaurant is excellent with sterling service. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Plus the 9 hole putting green on campus is fun to play. And the complementary slippers are a nice touch!"

"Sparkling clean, with a microwave and a mini fridge available. Although there is noise from passing vehicles at night, it is still acceptable even without earbuds. The staff there are friendly, and the location is within a short, walkable distance of the old town of Salinas (which is a great place to explore)."

"Great visit"

"Incredible clean, nice decor and our 3 king bed room was amazing for our family of 5!! The bathroom was also clean and spacious. Highly recommend."
