Great choice when staying in SB!
Loved our 2nd stay at Castillo Inn. The hotel is in a great location and was very clean. Front desk staff was friendly and very awesome in accommodating an early check in. My only issue was the thermostat and controlling the room temperature. It didn’t maintain the preferred temps and had us waking up several times during the night. Definitely didn’t get a good nights rest. The WiFi also either shut off or went out so watching TV also wasn’t an option when we couldn’t sleep. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

Great location and staff.
The staff here was amazing. Several times I forgot my key in the room and the staff made me a new key with a smile. Even had the manager run and get us a key once. The location is amazing, we walked on the beach and down to shops and restaurants every day. Would definitely recommend this place and we look forward to coming back.

Folks were nice, but the rooms were not clean. The bathroom especially. Found lots of hair around, not sure if the cleaners just missed it

Nice family stay.
This was our second time staying at the Castillo Inn. The rooms and staff we friendly and this time we did get the room with the patio. It was nice to be able to walk out and sit out.
Only downfall that is not against the hotel but the park across the street had a lot of homeless. Plus someone was honking their horn every night that was parked across the street.
I would come back because the hotel is great and the rooms are good size.

Cute Inn by the Beach
Loved the king with couch and balcony. Also great having a corner unit and lots of windows with nice view from 2nd floor. Plenty of parking and friendly service at check in. Great stay!
