I had my car broken into when I stayed there! They have security bars on the windows, but they have no protection in the parking lot, No security guards, No fence around the parking area.

Being ripped off ruined my vacation!

We loved the closeness to the beach. There were good restaurants around the hotel, where you didn't have to drive. A great walking experience. It's really stupid when people say things about bars on the window. I feel the bars that were on the bathroom windows and bedroom window were more of a decorative feature, no bars on the sliding ...

The staff at this motel are very rude. I asked to shorten my stay at this motel, due to the room being too warm. The room has no A/C and poor ventilation.

The staff was very rude about handling my refund.

It's not my fault the room is too hot! I sholud have read the reviews first, then I would have know to avoide this place.

I was disappointed to read all the negative reviews on this place. I went to high school in Aptos, but have since then moved away. I frequently bring my two daughters, ages 3 & 5, to stay here for weeks at a time, with my husband joining us on the weekends. They offer wonderful weekly rates, during off-season. We have a place we can stay at on ...

When we arrived the room was so hot we had to open the doors and leave until it cooled off. We called the front desk and was told we could sign-out a fan. Try sleeping without an Air Conditioner in June in California and pay $160 a night for a sub-par room. Talk about not only buring up, but buring a hole in your wallet. We tried to cancel our ...

older place you can hear people in above rooms. Nice pool an hot tub. It was a longer walk to the beach than expected.

You get what you pay for. This motel is a few bucks less than the nicer ones around. I had my car broken into when I stayed there! So if you add the damage due to the break in, it ended up costing a lot more than other places would have.

I too was concerned about the bars on the windows. The rooms doors have electronic locks on them and if the ...

We have stayed at the Rio Sands more times than we can count and we are shocked at some of these negative reviews. If you want "high class" & spend huge sums of money go to "The Ritz!". This is a lovely, clean, nice, restful place to stay and we enjoy it immensely and will continue to come again & again. Our favorite rooms ...

This is a old motel, woth some new paint. Doesn't make up for a bad design. There are numerous saftey issues with the motel. There are no fire sprinklers, there is no elevator to second floor or rear exit on upstairs units. The front windows have bars on them, so if there is a fire you are trapped.

The views in some of the rooms is ok, but a ...
