Top Sand City Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but not as clean as I would have expected. Also, I would have appreciated a better understanding of how to get to our room with a baby and a stroller the route we went didn’t work out with all of the stairs. We did get guidance from an employee as we were lugging our stuff up and down."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I booked a suite at this location for the Marine Corps ball, which was being held in the hotel’s conference hall. The suite was not ready when we arrived at the assigned check-in time, so the hotel upgraded us to an even larger suite. Our room had an adjoining parlor that included a sectional sofa, conference table and second bathroom (which was perfect for multiple people getting ready in their USMC Dress Blues). Both the bedroom and parlor included a patio that was directly connected to the hotel’s “Spyglass Pool.” It was perfect. My only regret was not bringing my golf clubs. The hotel is on the oldest consecutively ran golf course this side of the Mississippi and it was BEAUTIFUL. The bar and “Sea Root” restaurant overlook the course, providing the best view for an amazing breakfast. Standard checkout is noon, which gave us plenty of time to recover from the previous night’s ball activities. I highly recommend this location if you ever find yourself in need of lodging on the Monterey peninsula. -b"
