Top National Steinbeck Center Hotel Reviews

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay, clean rooms, my kids loved the pool. The only thing is be aware airplanes flying in and out at random times. Woke us at 5 am sounded like an earthquake. Lol !"

Pacific Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and modern. It was fairly clean though after 5min walking without my shoes my white socks turned grey... Parking was free and plenty. Staff was pleasant. Location was convenient with close proximity to route 1 and a Safeway. Since my goal was easy access to Carmel to spend the afternoon & evening, and nearby grocery stores to get stuff to prepare a picnic for next day, it worked well for a decent price."

Best Western Marina State Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great. It was older but clean and the staff was very friendly. Beds were comfortable, location was amazing. Just a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was decent but if there were more than a few people in there at once it was almost impossible to get to the food. It's a very small area. I would stay here again."

Sand Castle Inn

8/10 Good

"We only stayed one night after six days of camping, but overall we had a good experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and we had no issues with it. There was a small problem at check in because, somehow, my reservation was made for two rooms instead of one. The staff resolved it and refunded the extra room, which I appreciated. The only downside was that construction started in a room just one door down from us at 7:00 a.m. If we had been staying longer, that probably would have been an issue. Fortunately, we were already up early packing to leave. On the bright side, it was nice to see they are remodeling and updating the rooms."
