If you can avoid this place, do not stay here. The floor was carpet and felt wet. There were people yelling in the halls. The paint was chipping all over the door. There were bugs crawling on the walls. I stayed here for 10 minutes before I decided to leave ands was not given a refund. The overall feel of this place felt dirty and unsafe.

The room in general was very dark. There was no proper lighting near the sleeping space. The bathroom lights did not work. The floor was also carpet so it felt very unsanitary. Especially because when we walked around with socks on we noticed the whole carpet felt wet. We noticed the water from the shower was the cause. The shower also had horrible water pressure. Took forever to take a basic shower. The area where the towels stored in the bathroom had stains and was clearly covers in dirt. The bathroom door also didn’t close or open properly.The curtains in the room were also broken. The fridge had a funky smell and was refrigerating correctly. The area is also very noisy not just because of the traffic or cars at night. You can hear everything in the hotel. Especially the morning cleaning being done. You can hear all the rolling carts and vacuuming. The most scary part was the room not having a deadbolt. The door didn’t close properly and you could clearly see the outside through the side of the door. My guess why you could hear all the noise. It felt very unsafe that a basic lock was keeping the door closed.

Average place to stay if you don’t plan on spending a lot of time in your room. There are 3 floors and no elevator, so you have to carry all your luggage up three flights of stairs. Only one ice machine and it’s in parking area at bottom of stairs. I give this place 3 stars, average

This is not worth $190. The area is questionable. The walls are thin. Parking is crap. The room itself is nothing fancy. A bed, mini fridge, microwave. The sheets made us itchy. The bathroom is clean but needs updating. Very disappointing.

We recently stayed at the Sand Dollar Inn and had a wonderful experience. The motel is a nice place to stay, and we were pleased that they accommodated our two small dogs. We brought a kennel for our dogs and left them there while we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was only a short drive away. The pet charge is $30 per dog per night, which I found reasonable for the peace of mind it provided. Any issues we encountered were quickly resolved by the helpful staff. We requested two rooms close together, and they were happy to oblige. On our second day, we needed clean towels, and although housekeeping forgot to bring them initially, a quick visit to the front desk solved the problem. The girl at the front desk promptly provided us with fresh towels. The location is very convenient, being close to Monterey and about 45 minutes from Santa Cruz. We didn't encounter any issues during our stay, but we weren't expecting luxury accommodations either. With a large family, this motel was within our budget and met our needs perfectly. We plan to return to the Sand Dollar Inn on our next trip to the area.
