The heater was not working at all. Maintenance brought a portable heater, but it did not heat up the room and I was afraid of it starting a fire. It’s winter so heat is a necessity. Beautiful property

Great hotel

This is the second time I have stated here . It’s a great hotel and fairly quiet at night . I try to get the lower units and every time I do I never hear anyone up top or next to me . They have a wonderful breakfast in the morning . Best part you can walk across the street to the ocean or take a stroll on the. Walk . Highly recommended

Always a good time

Beautiful location. Been staying here for over 15 years, and it never disappoints. Rooms have been updated/renovated for the second time since I’ve been staying here. Each time more comfortable than the last. Well done Castle Inn!

This property has a beautiful view of the ocean and the chairs are placed right by the moonstone beach. A short walk across the street is nice. The propane fire pit was also quite warm and low maintenance. We didn’t use the pool or jacuzzi but it looked clean. Overall friendly and nice for a stay. The check in person Michael was very personable and friendly.
