I was a little apprehensive about staying at this hotel because I had read some bad reviews about it, but it wasn't all THAT bad. Having said that, it wasn't that great, either. We requested a wake-up call for 7:00 AM, but we never got one. Thankfully, I'd set a back-up alarm just in case, or we might've missed our... more

We stayed at the Sand Dollar Inn for one night. I paid $125 (taxes included) for a queen bed suite as it was separated in its own room. We also had a gas fireplace, mini refrigerator and our own balcony. Pretty decent deal on paper….. We arrived at the hotel and on the outside, the place looked nice, clean and... more

We stayed here for one night, we (2 adults and a 14 & 11yearold)were travelling down from San Francisco to Los Angeles and it was an ideal stop over motel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and adequate, nothing fancy or extra special, ( and in line with the the post declaring it romantic - it must have been a... more

This was my first trip to Monterey and was meant to be a special one with someone special. It was just that. The hotel was a bit noisy, but other than that the hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. The hotel was easily accessible to and from Cannery Row and the Aquarium. It also helped that there... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night in July. I picked this hotel due to good reviews here on TA. I was very happy with this place. We checked in and was given a room on the second floor close to the street. It was a little noisey but not so much that it kept you awake. Room was... more

I read all the reviews on tripadvisor before booking at the Sand Dollar Inn and I can't say I disagree with the other posters. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and our stay for the most part would have been pleasant. However, there was a group of bikers staying at the hotel at the same time.... more

stayed here again. this is a good quality motel. and the price for monterey is very reasonable. the rooms are fairly compact but nice none the less. the motel is only about 5-10 mins walk from the wharf and there are decent restaurants and bars within the same walking time. you do get a very basic free continental breakfast which... more

The staff are really friendly and helpful. Check-in time was 3:00 pm but we have a morning flight so we got there around 10:00. The front desk told us to call back at 1:00 to see if we can check in. We head over Fishermann's Wharf and just walked around the city. We went back to the hotel at 1:00... more

Granted, I was in Monterey on business not pleasure, but this hotel did nothing to help with relaxation at the end of a long day. I checked in around 3 pm to a parking lot full of construction...which was not mentioned when I made the reservations. Room turned out to be right next to the construction with my bathroom window... more
