A very comfortable and nice place to stay
My husband and I really like the Castillo Inn. It’s old but kept up very nice. The beds are very comfortable and bathroom is nice. The only thing I miss is a microwave. We have a small one that we bring. We’ve been staying there for probably 10 years at least. We have tried a few orhers but always come back.

Nice place at a good price
Friendly and helpful check-in. Spacious comfortable room with coffeemaker and fridge. Also had a little patio, though not sure why I'd sit there, surrounded by a fence... Great value

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.
