Every night there was the smell of marijuana when we returned to our room? The 3rd night when we returned to our room our bath towels were missing with no towels to replace them? My husband had to go down to the office and ask for replacement towels? The knob on the bathtub water felt like it was going to fall off?

Needs improvement
Have stayed here many times. This time was not the best. The walls in bathroom were dirty. Hair in tub and on shower walls. Toilet paper was set on toilet due to not having toilet paper holder. Check out was clearly stated at being at 11am. We were receiving calls at 1045 and even had someone knock on door at 1050am. We felt very rushed. Not sure we will return.

Traveling from the bay area to Seaside, Cali for work/leisure, The Sand Dollar Inn checked all my boxes. I was looking for an outdoor pool and a quiet area on Fremeont Street (away from traffic sounds). When I woke up in the am the next day I was well rested and content. 5 stars.

It’s a Room
Room was not what pictures showed in quality. Door chain was visibly broken in piece and receipts from prior guests were left in the drawers. Well located on the coast, and to food and shopping areas.
