10/10 Exceptional

The room is very clean, the floor is so clean. I stayed at a lot of hotels before. Mostly they don’t care the floor, but our room at this hotel was very clean. They come to clean our room and the floor for 4 days during our stay. Thanks to the staffs.

Amazing value for money

Amazing stay and great value for money.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed in room 116 was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bed was painfully stiff and felt as if I was sleeping on a box spring, not a mattress. The room was smaller than I expected, but was acceptable overall. There was rust in the shower, but beyond that the room was clean and well kept.
Richard, 1-night trip

Luis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick and easy check in, overall good stay

Stayed for one night only. The check in process was quick and very convenient. The room was clean with a lot of shops nearby. My only issue was with the blinds and the sound of traffic. The blinds dont close fully and the hotel is near a highway. Overall, my stay was good. I would stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at the Sand Castle Inn several times. The Room is always clean, the staff friendly. Walking distance to the Beach. We use to go to other Inns occasionally, but now the Sand Castle Inn is our “go to” place when we visit Seaside.
