Sand Dollar Inn - Seaside

We where given a brand-new and beautifully designed room with central heating, television and a microwave oven. The breakfast was reasonable and delightful, the check in was fast. The pool was heated too...

The unit we got was well stocked with continental breakfast and balcony.

The kids loved the pool. Breakfast was good. Location close to the beach and shopping facilities was appreciated.

No refrigerator or tea making facilities - coffee maker only.

We stayed at the Magic Carpet Lodge because it was close to the Monterey Jazz Festival grounds, there was availability, breakfast was included and we were close to the Ocean.

The bathroom fixtures were old but entirely adequate.

The staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast is included. The location is close to Monterey and Carmel. Possibility to have shopping in the big shopping centre just around the corner of the inn. I personale della reception e stato gentilissimo. La colazione e inclusa e questo e un vantaggio non indifferente visto che nelle altre strutture non lo e mai. Si raggiungono comodamente Monterey e Carmel. Proprio vicino all struttura si trova un grande centro commerciale (un immenso negozio sportivo e supermarket)

We had to make an unexpected overnight stay and needed an inexpensice place. It was very clean for $50. I was pleasantly surprised. The bed was fine, not super cushy. They have a nice pool and continental breakfast was fine. It was all fine and good for the price. The people at the front desk were very nice.

For the price it did the trick. My only complaint would be that the doors slamming were really loud. But it was a pretty quiet place in general so as soon as it got late it was not a problem.

We stayed in a nice, clean room on the 2nd floor with a balcony, view towards the pool and backyard (car parks). The room was equipped with lots of freebies like soap, shampoo, coffee, etc. It was calm here, only low noise from the street, none of other guest (except kids in the pool sometimes). The staff and other guests were very friendly and chatty. Continental breakfast meant orange juice, coffee, tea, milk, toast, bagels, cream cheese, jam, cereals, fruits and pastry - all in all very good.

The shower was a bit low (about shoulder height for tall people) but this seems to be common for that kind of motel. No WiFi internet access in the room (allegedly due to fog) but we were welcome to sit in the lobby and bring our devices. Neighborhood is bad - just motels, car dealers and light industry. You'll have to drive to Monterey city for your evening walk.

The room wasvery comfy and tidy, with a cozy corner perfect. The staff was friendly and very accommodating, which really enhanced our experience.

There was no breakfast served.

It was clean and great location for the sites. Staff was extremly personable and helpful.

The whole story in a nutshell

For our weekend escape, this hotel had it all, easy check-in and plenty of parking. Our room was clean, with a fridge and microwave, which came in handy. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Just a short drive from attractions, it's a solid budget choice for a fun getaway.

Marvellous position close to the beach.

Well stocked room and neat, with a refrigerator, a microwave oven, and climate control. Fine food choices for breakfast. Absolutely perfect and peaceful location, only a short distance to everywhere...

Perfect location for family trips

The staff were accommodating, especially with our request for adjacent rooms. We appreciated that the motel was pet-friendly, great to bring our small dogs along without any hassle. I did notice that the bathrooms could use some modernization, as there were hints of wear and tear in that area.

Overpriced and the lights were on motion sensor so they kept going off if we were reading or watching TV.

Great place, I appreciated really helpful personnel.

My room was a nice size and stocked with balcony, high ceiling and continental breakfast as described. The location was perfect - within a walking distance of everywhere I wanted to go. Also, Del Monte Beach was 2 miles away.
