Average but doable

Last minute trip and you get what you pay for. Not bad, but, surrounded by potheads. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Just an old motel and you can tell.

This was our second time staying at the Sandcastle Inn. We have enjoyed our stays. The only down side is if you have two vehicles when they are full, you have to park one somewhere else. For us it wasn’t a problem because of all the parking on the streets and it’s walking distance to the beach (which has parking)

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very basic room

The photos presented on websites are deceiving..yes the rooms are simple with a TV and free wi-fi - they are in dire need of total renovation..sink was old and without a stopper; towels pretty weathered and forget about any housekeeping. Check in happens across the street at a sister property which was not convenient when the room key no longer worked. If a very basic room is needed - this would be the place.

The room was a smoking room, but could have used some detailed cleaning. The lady in office said she would come clean, but we didn't want any one in room. Cleaned it up myself. Lady in office was great

Although the hotel had an atmsphere of days gone by, the rooms showed that as well. Very much in need of updates. Rates were comparable to updated rooms, but without the updates. Door was about to break, and room smelled moldy.
