Top Sand City Hotel Reviews

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

8/10 Good

"So so"

Pacific Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and modern. It was fairly clean though after 5min walking without my shoes my white socks turned grey... Parking was free and plenty. Staff was pleasant. Location was convenient with close proximity to route 1 and a Safeway. Since my goal was easy access to Carmel to spend the afternoon & evening, and nearby grocery stores to get stuff to prepare a picnic for next day, it worked well for a decent price."

The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for one night and the staff that checked us in was very helpful. She suggested we take a room on an upper floor when she knew it was just my child and I. I felt safe staying there but the motorcycles in and around were so obnoxiously loud. They were riding around with what felt like all hours of the night and I believe someone staying on the property had one too and right outside of our door. I know this is not the property's fault but I don't know if I would stay there again because of this reason. The room was clean and all we needed to do was stay there the night before we went on further north and it served its purpose."

Sand Castle Inn

8/10 Good

"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."
