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

We booked at the Sand Dollar Inn as we were meeting friends who were also staying there and recommended it. I checked it out on Tripadvisor (luv you, Tripadvisor!) but was disappointed in the overall experience. Upon checkin, the clerk was slow (but kinda cute) and seem baffled by the fact there were 3 parties waiting to deal with their... more

We got a reservation for a room for a night from a local service called resort2me (which is a free service to find hotels in monterey) and also got a 15% discount on it. Great value hotel, very clean, they even allowed us to checkin early (we reached at 1230 and didnt realise that we were too early). The room... more

We gave the Sand Dollar Inn a try after reading several reviews, and we liked it very much. The location was convenient and felt safe. We reserved really early and got a king room for $56 per night (Tues.-Thurs.). The room included a gas fireplace, but no balcony or patio. I was a little nervous when they assigned us to... more

Great location. Very helpful front desk anmd maintenance staff. We had a king size bed with a gas fireplace. We had numerous problems with the fireplace so they moved us to another room. This room had 2 queen beds and a fireplace. We never tried the free breakfast each morning since there were so many places within walking distance for... more

Comfortable rooms, clean and friendly staff. It is in a great location and easy walking to Fisherman's wharf and Cannery Row. This is is convenient because Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf charges for all parking. more

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at the Sand Dollar Inn. This time it was just as good as the first -- which was back in Oct of 2006. Great value, nice clean rooms, very attentive staff - you really can't go wrong here. Location is great - not too far from the Aquarium and not far from... more
