I booked a night at this motel as a cheap overnight on the way between LA and SF. Hey, I only needed a bed, so price was the only consideration. It was so pleasant and easy to get to that on the way back to LA I booked five nights!!!

Based on the price, I hadn't expected much, but obviously they have been remodeling recently. The granite tub enclosure and countertops were nice, and the room included a refrigerator. The make-your-own waffles at breakfast always win me over.

The Sand Castle Inn is a nice, no-frills place without the massive price tag of other locations. It is just a few minutes away from Monterey and a few minutes more from Carmel-by-the-Sea. We appreciated the recently redesigned bathrooms, flat screen TVs, free wifi, quick check-in/check-out and how close it was to the expressway entrances/exits. Things that we were neutral... More

Very nice staff that was helpful when I called to make sure it would be okay to print out some tickets I'd be purchasing while there over the internet. They made sure to get me a wired connection because the Wifi had a little trouble the first night. Lots of shopping and restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel... More

Good room, good rate, GREAT service. My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing the great service of the nicest front desk women in the world here. In spite of just having the people before us in line being outrageously rude to her, Shirlee was so polite to them and so accommodating in getting them a room for their... More

My wife and I spent two nights here. The room was clean and the location was convenient. The desk chair needed to be replaced, but the show walls were marble and the water pressure was great. We found housekeeping helpful and prompt. We did not try the continental breakfast--it appeared Spartan, but instead went to the Breakfast at the Breakfast... More

Husband and daughter stayed here while visiting CSUMB. Very clean and comfortable. Picked up a sale price, so it made it even better. Not sure how good it would be for a long term vacation, but for an overnight stay, it was great.

Pulling in this place looks much nicer than normal value hotel, well kept flowers and fresh paint. The room was clean and had a very nice recently renovated bathroom. The bed was comfy and the room had a fridge & microwave, so you can save on your food bill.

Unfortunately we arrived on a friday and payed 500$ for two nights, for a shabby, small, stinky room. Never again would we stay there! The 'Free continental breakfast' was a joke! At least it was close to the freeway and we could get to the nearby places of interest.

This place was great for the price and a quick over night. Maybe not if you plan to stay a few days and want a larger room. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast as it was all carbohydrates. I would stay again if passing through.
