I got a non-smoking room and when we arrived our room smelled like cigarettes and smoke. When I told the manager the next day (short-Hispanic male with a small tattoo of a cross on his face) He said he could not accommodate us and change our room. The sheets were stained and so were the pillow cases.

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?

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.
