Comfortable, clean, convenient and affordable. The rooms are spacious and clean. Beds are King size and comfortable. Bathrooms and towels are clean. No Dressers or drawers to put your clothes in. Our room was facing the main road and you can hear some traffic but it's not horrible. We had the air conditioner on so it helps. They offer FREE coffee, tea, water and ice to fill up your water bottles. I took off 1 Star.... My only complaint would be the parking. We couldn't find a parking at the hotel after dark. The hotel is surrounded by apartments so I'm sure people from other places park there. There's only 30 or so parking spots and it's Not monitored which I wish they would do. Maybe give us a parking pass to put on the car or something and tow the ones who don't belong. My husband had to park a block and half away. We would consider staying here again if they fixed the parking issue. It's very inconvenient for families who have little ones.

If you need a convenient, clean and easy place to stay, give this hotel a try. Nice and simple hotel located in a small city right outside of Monterey. Easy check in and quick upon arrival. Clean rooms with basic necessities. Wifi not the strongest but you can get by with it. On the first floor near reception has a little cocoa/ hot coffee bar. It was pretty yummy, believe or not. Also, with the cool weather here, it was nice to fet something warm into the body. . I feel the room may have felt small upon entering but it was roomy.enough Upon entering room, you are welcomed by a bench to sit and remove shoes and put them in the shelf underneath. Then a full length mirror and across was the bathroom. Keep walking, you have a work desk and next to it is a table with chairs.. This probably could have been set up near the window if you wanted to and it would opened up that area a bit. Note: the TV unit is on same side and underneath is microwave and refrigerator and coffee maker. Across this are two King size beds. Overall, the stay was good. Location is perfectly located to visit Monterey Bay and also driving to Gilroy, etc. Oh and good customer service. If you leave something behind, they will conveniently call you . This is why I came to make this review and appreciate the honesty of their serivce. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

Honestly I don't understand why this hotel has bad reviews. My friend and I planned a summer vacation with our kids to Monterey. We decided on this hotel because it had THREE king size beds in a very spacious room . I even had space to put my baby's pack and play next to the bed . We got this room at a bargain price and it was only 15 mins drive from Monterey Bay aquarium. We spent two nights here with a baby , a toddler, and two kids and it was wonderful. They even have a juice/coffee/hot chocolate bar downstairs, free or charge ! This was a hit for the kids . Also as women traveling alone with our kids this was a very safe area and hotel . Don't hesitate to book this!

stayed here for one night. when we first arrived, the front desk was completely empty. the man took 10-15 minutes to check us in and when he finally did, he had a HORRIBLE ATTITUDE. No smile, no welcome. We brushed it off after a long day of travels and went into the hotel, just to find trash in the can that was sitting there and hadn't been taken out, and an unknown HAIR in the "fresh clean" towels. gross honestly. since we only stayed for a short period, it wasn't worth causing a fuss about. definitely worth warning others. #TouristTrap

Near the beach... The hotel is located on the outskirts of Monterey in a quiet town of Marina, just 11 miles from the Cannery Row in Monterey. Our stay here was decent. Check-in was quick and easy and the desk clerk was nice and friendly. The lobby very spacious with contemporary furnitures in the sitting area. The only noisy experience we had was from the room immediately next to us (family with kids blasting their music and kids running around). If they weren't going to be quiet by 10:00p we were going to report to the front desk. Thankfully, they calmed down. The room included two King beds, flatscreen TV, a small fridge and a microwave. The room was clean and beds were comfy. I like how roomy the bathroom is. Water feels like my water softener at home. Love! Complimentary breakfast was offered from 6:00-10:00a which we took advantage of on our first of two nights' stay. They have a waffle maker and choices of muffins, pastries, cereal, or fresh fruit to go with coffee or fruit juices. The dining room is clean and spacious with plenty of table seating. Across the street is an Asian/Filipino store/market and a few choices of restaurants. We walked across the street to dine at the Korean restaurant on our last evening. Overall pleasant stay and would book here again for another getaway weekend on the coast. Review #1683

Fraudulent charges for services not rendered

Rooms were great, but I did not appreciate being charged for an upgrade fee for an upgrade they were not able to accommodate. Almost a month later and in constant communication with the hotel and corporate and they can't resolve it. "Call back tomorrow when the manager is here", "The manager will be back next week on Tuesday". "We don't see a charge". I have the invoice and the bank statements showing the charge. So frustrating and so disappointing that a business like this can't take care of business.

This Ramada is smaller than others I've stayed at but it provided what I expected: a decent night's stay and adequate parking. Our room was a bit outdated with its furniture, carpet, and light fixtures. Plus it smelled stale. But the room had a microwave, coffee maker, and refrigerator. The complimentary breakfast the next morning was as expected: cereals, yogurt, bagels, muffins, hard-boiled eggs, juice, coffee, tea, waffle-maker. It wasn't great but it's still a positive in my book given so many hotels offer less and less amenities. Checking in and out was a breeze, thanks to the friendly and efficient staff.

The TV sits on the fridge and microwave. No drawers.

TLDR: it's a clean hotel that has the basic amenities. If you need a place to stay and nothing else, i would highly recommend. Pros: first and foremost it's clean, front desk guy was pretty friendly, neighborhood was safe, it was the cheapest hotel chain in the area, really if you need a basic place to stay I'd say it's a good deal. Beds were comfy! The complimentary continental breakfast was cool, even though their breakfast room was closed and we had to use the employee break room, it still had everything we could have wanted. Breakfast burritos, a microwave, milk, juices, waters. Good stuff Cons: so they were in the middle of a remodel, in fact the weekend i stayed they were doing the photo shoot for the rooms to go on the website, so that might be why i had this experience but here's how it went: First of all the room had NO closet. No hanging rod or hangers. NO ironing board, and NO iron. This was unfortunate as i brought a shirt that needed to be ironed. I had to wear a wrinkly shirt that day. There was NO desser, but a big blank area where the dresser was probably supposed to go? There were no drawers anywhere. The TV was sitting on a shelving, so no drawers there. There was a desk, but no drawers there either. There was even an ottoman thing, but with no drawers, just a shelf. None under the bed either. So if you're looking to take clothes and put them away while you stay, you're gonna be annoyed. The bathroom was nice and freshly remodeled, but it had a couple quirks. First, it was the kind of shower with no real division between shower and bathroom and rather than a glass door to get in the shower it was just a curtain. This meant we needed more towels than usual to line the floor but okay. My bigger issue was the shower, although nice, and contrary to the room that had an over abundance of shelving, the shower had NO shelving on it. So i was taking a shower and look around to grab the little complimentary shampoo and soap, and it's nowhere to be found! Where could it be ? I looked around the floor of the shower as well. Nope. I did find it eventually, it was on the countertop of the bathroom. This meant of course that I had to step across the bathroom to get it, thereby dripping water on the floor. After i grabbed it and used it, i realized again that, well, i had nowhere to put the soap and shampoo. Because there was no little shelf on the wall! So i just placed them on the floor in the corner. Again i don't know if the room wasn't really finished and they were trying to pass it off as finished? My third and final complaint was that the refrigerator was broken. It was not cold. No matter what i did to the dial, it was not cold. I told the guy and he was super nice and said he could bring another fridge to me, but i said that's fine I'm checking out in the morning anyway and have an ice chest and he should replace it for the next guests. Oh yeah and the only working ice machine was on the first floor. That didn't bother me too much though. The breakfast was cool, but since it was about the size of a Walk in closet there was no where to sit, but that's Okay we were leaving anyway. When i checked out i sort of expected him to give me a discount for all that trouble. But i guess not. Again overall it's a fine place to stay, just don't expect too much.

This was a great overnight destination, why? Here are my reasons: 1) Location: This hotel is located in Marina. Marina is a small town outside of Monterey. It's away from the touristy Monterey and it's a newer town than Seaside. It's about 15 minutes to Monterey and about 30 minutes depending on traffic, to Santa Cruz. 2) Price: After reading some of the reviews on certain search engines, I decided on spending a night here and that this was the best value. I could've spent more money and stayed some place fancy, but I'm gonna be sightseeing, and needed a decent place to sleep. Ramada was perfect. 3) Room: The room was huge! It came with two queen beds, a nice dinette table and chairs, a bigger than personal size refrigerator, a sitting chair, coffemaker, and a microwave. 4) Free breakfast: They offer free breakfast, it consisted of oatmeal, danishes, muffins, bagels, boiled eggs, fruit, and do it yourself waffles. There's also coffee, juices, and milk. 5) Staff: Friendly, helpful and professional. Overall, I would recommend Ramada if you want a comfortable and not gonna break the bank, place to spend the night. It was a great find.

Mold in the trash can next to the main bed in a two bedroom "suite"

It's crazy what hotels charge people while doing less than minimum. When ya pay over $150 for less than 12 hours of a room, it'd make sense to have a lil less mold than that... ps, I've worked as a housekeeper for multiple companies in multiple states, this isn't just on the cleaners, they gotta clean an unreasonable amount of rooms some days, I feel like the managers should hold some accountability as well, especially given how much they sit in an office compared to the cleaners.

The hotel makes you feel super welcome the moment you walk in. We stayed in a bay front room with the the most incredible sunsets and sunrises. To get to your room they provide a shuttle from the parking lot right to your room. The rooms are new and modern with plenty of space and partially stocked. There is also room service if you want it. There is also a restaurant on the grounds but make a reservation. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained and really clean and they offer complimentary teas and coffees in the lobby. If you're planning a trip to the Monterey or Carmel area I would definitely recommend the Sanctuary Beach Resort.

My husband and our 2 young children (9 month old, 2.5 year old) stayed one night here, and have actually stayed here 2 other times in the past. Customer service was great; fast, courteous, and they easily accommodated our last minute request for a crib. The room itself and bathroom were meticulously clean and smelled fresh. Plenty of supplies. The room had a refrigerator, microwave and Keurig. We stayed in room 211, which is right next to the breakfast area. My husband went out to grab breakfast for our family. I stayed in the room with our kids. I commented to him that it didn't sound like there were many people at breakfast, he said it was full of people! I would have never guessed that being that the room was sound proofed great! Breakfast was basic, what you would normally expect at a Holiday Inn. It met our need just fine. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. Location of the hotel is convenient, it's right by a Walmart, some gas stations, and a Denny's. We plan to stay here again when we're in the area.

The hotel is also very accessible, and I never had an issue finding parking--the parking lot always had plenty of spaces available. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Stephen at the front desk was great--welcoming, friendly, and professional. He really helped make me feel at home while being away from home.

Checked in, and the guy asked me if I was parking a car. He gave me a little ticket even after taking my license plate, and said I had to walk back out to my car to put this on my car, or else my car would get towed. Seriously? Also, the parking lot was empty, but I got a lecture about how other people always want to park in this parking lot. Hard to imagine, but sure. Then, I was charging my car overnight at the charge point site in the parking lot, and it turns out this hotel also sets the charging rates at that station. So, guess what, they're 3 times the normal charging rate, and you pay $2 an hour for the convenience of charging. Oh, by the way, if your car is full (as mine was at 3:40 am), they start charging you an extra $4 an hour to sit there. I was supposed to go out at 4AM and move my car. Let's guess that this hotel makes a decent margin on this kind of predatory pricing. Got up in the morning to leave, and the elevator was broken. Just glad to get out of this place and never come back. And definitely not worth the $400 we paid to stay at this basic box.
