The price for this place was too much for the disappointment. Needs updating. Area is questionable. Parking is crap. The sheets made is itchy. 

Not worth $190

I booked this motel on short notice for a two day stay for work. It is an older property but it is kept up well and it served the purpose. The room and bed was comfortable and I had no problems with the room. The service of the desk staff was great. I will definitely stay here again.

Great place for a very good price

Stayed overnight with Family, 3 of us. Booked online directly on their website for guaranteed lowest rate. Check in was a breeze and receptionist was nice. Room was clean with basic features: two queen beds, a fridge, and TV. Hallways smell like weed. A little expensive for a basic stay ($213.18)

Had bathroom issue. At 12:30 am, I was awakened with a loud bang from the bathroom. Went to the bathroom to check it out. Water was dripping from the ceiling. Apparently, part of the ceiling got ripped probably because of water leakage on the 3rd floor (stayed on the 2nd floor). I was so sleepy so went back to bed and decided to report it in the morning.

Woke up at 7 am and checked out bathroom. Dripping has stopped. A few minutes after, heard someone using the shower above our room and then dripping started again.

Went to the front desk to report the issue. Guy said he will have maintenance person check it out between 8:00-9:00 am. I informed him we needed to leave at 8:00 am, and requested for another room just to shower. He said all rooms were occupied. Asked if there was a stand-alone shower room in the building. He said there was none.

Went back to the room and packed up. We left without taking a shower. 

Basic Stay

Dear Hotel Manager

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue I encountered during my recent stay at your hotel. I stayed from 24.5.25 to 24.5.26, and unfortunately, I discovered that my room was infested with bedbugs. Even both rooms were not cleaned, we accepted not the first room, the second was also not cleaned.

During my stay, I noticed several red, itchy bites on my body, which were confirmed by a healthcare professional to be caused by bedbugs. This not only caused significant discomfort and distress but also resulted in additional expenses for medical treatment and cleaning to ensure that I did not bring any bedbugs back to my home. 

I chose your hotel based on its reputation for quality and comfort on booking.com and I am extremely disappointed by this experience. I expect a certain level of cleanliness and safety when staying in any hotel, and the presence of bedbugs is entirely unacceptable.

I request a full refund for my stay, along with compensation for the expenses incurred as a result of this infestation. Additionally, I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue to prevent future guests from experiencing the same distress. 

I have attached photographs of the bites and medical documentation for your reference. Please let me know how you plan to resolve this matter at your earliest convenience.

Bedbugs: No Comment no Feedback of the management

My girlfriend and I was on vacation in California, and chose to stay overnight at the Sand Dollar Inn in Monterey on the road between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They advertise non-smoking rooms and the pictures apparently looked good. 

We were therefore very surprised when we got into the room and it really smelled of smoke in the room. My suspicion is that the smell of smoke remains in the carpeted floor from earlier. We were only going to stay there for one night, so we chose to see it through.

About. at 10 p.m., a group of boys checked into the neighboring room, and they immediately started partying. It involved loud talking/yelling, slamming doors (there were several of the gang who had other rooms in the hotel) and brutal bass that shook the walls. 

We imagined that these had plans to go to a night club, so we tried to ignore it as best as possible. A couple of hours went by without the party calming down, so we tried to knock on the door to get them to calm down. It helped for a few minutes before the party started again. About 01:00 AM I chose to go to the reception to get help. There I met a person who promised to take care of the party. It was quiet for approx. 10-15 minutes before the party started again. Around 2:00 a.m. my patience was wearing thin and I knocked on their door again. It was then quiet for another 10-15 minutes before they turned up the music again. About. at 03:00 I was down at the reception again, but there was no one there. I called repeatedly but no one came. I waited for approx. 10 minutes without getting help.

About. at 4:00 am I knocked on their door again to no avail. The party continued and we stayed up the rest of the night.

After a more or less sleepless night, we chose to leave the motel early in the morning.

This was a very boring experience and the disappointment of the motel and their staff who did not follow up on the complaint and accepted that there was a party going on all night is beyond me. 

It was not pleasant for those who wanted to use the hotel's pool the following day either, as the balcony of the party was just above the pool where several people took the opportunity to vomit.

Do not stay at this motel!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL!

Very impressed with the cleanliness .  The gentleman who checked me in was super kind, fast, and professional. It was Xmas weekend so we thought it was going to be tough getting a room. But there were no issues. 

Comfortable

Do not stay here no clean towels for 3 days third day toilet is clogged I tell front desk asked for towels as well they bring me one towel and a plunger for a sink… and left so they charged me to stay here and be maintence as well which I’m still charged


Do not stay here

Friendly check in and good sized room Comfy beds we only had a quick stopover and it was perfect for this 
Pool had a cigarette butt in it but it looked fine otherwise just to cold for us to swim 
Good location for restaurants and a seven eleven across the street 
A coffee machine would be great 👍 Good place to stopover

Clean spacious room

Clean and quiet rooms, exactly as described on the website. Everything worked, shower was warm, coffee available, fridge was cold - better than some more expensive options.
Good value for money. 
Travelling as a family, rooms: Two king rooms and a queen.

Clean and quiet. Good value for money

For some reasons, I had nowhere to stay with my two kids in late evening. I ended up here.
Good : the bathroom was renovated. It has at least working microwave, refrigerator, tv. (Second floor room)
Bad : the whole isle was filled with terribly thick weed smells. Day and night. I encountered a guy who was getting out the room in front of my room. At the moment he opened the room door, weed smell flooded out. Another woman also emitted the same weed smells.
