"The Rio Sands is a cozy and clean place to land! The staff is extremely helpful, and the employees seem to take pride in their work. "

"I enjoyed the location because its outside of the busier Santa Cruz area but close to cute Aptos downtown and Captiola is just a couple exits North. There's fast and easy access to the Highway 1.

The location was fantastic, rhe first very cold night was quiet and adequately heated. Thanks to earlier reviews, I...

The carmel beach and carmel towel was only a 20 min drive away, it also had great dine in options that were walkable (5-7 mins). However, front desk staff mentioned they’d have fresh pastries out at 7 in the morning, but when we got there for 7:30 am they were still closed which was a bit of a bummer. "

"Great"

"The hotel definitely made our trip more enjoyable, checking in was very easy & the reception was very friendly, loved the restaurant options across the street, loved that it wasn’t a hectic busy area, the rooms were very spacious & comfortable made us feel at home, this was our 3rd trip to Monterey but 1st one at this hotel & we all agreed definitely staying at this hotel for all future trips to Monterey.

"It's far from a classy place but it's fine for the price. I'll give it 4 stars because it wasn't terrible. The building is old AF and doesn't seem to be well maintained. I definitely wasn't thrilled about the rooms having carpet instead of hardwood. Just for germy reasons. The guy working was cool and the bed was pretty comfy. Though when I went to my car at around midnight there was some homeless guy lingering in the lot acting shady. I had never been to Seaside or Monterey before and I was...
