Sand Castle Inn

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Room was very nice. Had a refrigerator, microwave, ironing board & iron. All the things I look for and also almost forgot a small coffee maker with good coffee to go with it. Bathroom was very large and modern, good water pressure. The king size bed very comfortable and extra pillows :) I highly recommend this place and definitely will come back next time we are in Monterey."
