We have stayed at the Sand Castle Inn several times. The Room is always clean, the staff friendly. Walking distance to the Beach. We use to go to other Inns occasionally, but now the Sand Castle Inn is our “go to” place when we visit Seaside.

We got room 108 and in there was a mouse running around in there. There was the poop of it on the floor and bed as well. We thankfully got changed rooms no problem to the second floor. The price was very fair and the rooms had a microwave, fridge n coffee maker. Maybe the business needs to check the rooms frequently for cleanliness.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was nice with easy check in and check out. Parking is convenient too, and not too far from Monterey or Carmel (15 min drive either option). The hotel room itself though was a bit dirty, mainly the bathroom area. For example, the faucet had some small mold on the side, the toilet paper holder area had some mold, and the shower gel, shampoo, bottles were rusty and dirty. The bed, desk, fridge were fine. The heater also worked which was a great plus. Overall, this was a cheap convenient stay so if you are on a budget, just know what to expect.

It's your typical motel, a little bit more pricey than what I'd expect as there are many other properties that are similar. I could hear road noise nearby.

I didn't expect it is going to be a good hotel because the hotel price was affordable. But the hotel room size, bed size ,refrigerator, microwave.. all were good enough for our family. outside was freezing cold but the hotel room was warm and cozy. I was able to have a good sleep.
