Next day at 09:30 cleaning staff at our door wanting in. Check out 11 AM. Left cleaning cart in front of our door, made very difficult getting out with suit cases. Would not recommend this place because of very rude staff.

The Sandman is conveniently located near HWY 101. The property was an older motel that was renovated to a more modern standard. The rooms are nice and extremely clean. We had an accessible room that was very comfortable. Breakfast was dismal, with the eggs and meats cooked in a microwave. There were selections of cereal and yogurt, bagels, and croissants. Coffee was available, but the tea selection was limited to green tea. I felt the two desk clerks I dealt with at check-in and checkout were very young, inexperienced, unfriendly, and not trained. This is an excellent place for an overnight stop, but I wouldn't stay there for any length of time.
