My daughter was having a baby and I was looking for somewhere to stay close to her house that offered weekly rates. This motel was walking distance from her home and so I contacted Raquel and arranged a three week stay. There wasn't one member of the staff that didn't make me feel welcome. In fact I came down with... More

My parents visited me approximately 7 months ago. I reserved a room at the Rio Sands for them. What a great place. The room was clean, comfortable and had a kitchenette. The guest services staff were the best my folks ever encountered (and they are travelers). So, my three daughters and I decided to spend spring break at the Rio... More

Once again we stayed at the Rio Sands and once again we were very happy with everything from the delicious waffle breakfast to the beautiful room and comfy bed! I loved the fact that the kitchen and living room area is separate from the bedroom. It was easy to keep things quiet when I laid our 11 month daughter down... More

We stayed here during a busy weekend recently and everything was excellent. We spent the day in Monterey but didn't want to stay there because it was way too busy and way too pricey (PGA Golf Tournament was going on) so we decided to come back to the Rio Sands. It's far enough away to get away from the crowds,... More

What a gem....beautiful, spacious,comfortable bed, and super clean. Front desk was very welcoming with kind words and a smile. First time stay for us so couldn't appreciate the remodel but will definitly choose the Rio Sands on our next trip to the area. More

I am well familiar with this motel, having grown up in this area. It was built in the mid fifties as a classic motor inn style a block from the Rio Del Mar beach. My aunt used to stay here in the winters, and I remember how...tired...it was. Well, no more! Recently they remodeled and updated and did a wonderful... More

I stayed here in January while apartment hunting in the area. I really, really enjoyed it here and it was a treat to stay here. It is a very easy walk to the beach and there are a few restaurants down by the beach as well. The room was so roomy and comfortable; the bed had a tempurpedic mattress which... More

It started with the phone call I made to confirm our reservations and ensure we had a first floor room as stairs don't mix well with my back. Raquel, (Guest Svc Mgr) was so friendly! She upgraded us into a first floor room. When we arrived it didn't stop there. The front desk staff was friendly, location to beach, family... More

We stayed here for two nights as my husband was playing a New Years Eve show at the local club the Sea Breeze, right at Rio Del Mar Beach. This place has a great location, about 1/2 block to the beach. We had a family suite, one room had a pull out couch and bunk beds, TV, closet, other room... More
