Did NOT disappoint

Everything was amazing! We really enjoyed the patio deck, and friendly staff! It was not super fancy, and was absolutely perfect. The view from roo. #206 did not disappoint. Location was super desirable with Mo's BBQ and Splash Cafe were super close! We will be back!

The staff came off as rude and brief. It looked like they hate their jobs… I am referring to the staff inside the hotel that help you check in or tend bar, not the maintenance crew. besides the rude staff the property has pretty views.

The only problem I really have with Sandcastle right now in the rooms are the receptacles, which will not hold your plug, which anything close to your bed all of are just wore out

We decided to take an early Valentine’s trip from Central California to hit Pismo area. We went to the Madonna Inn for dinner and then we stayed here at the Sandcastle, which was lovely but I was surprised that they charge $25 for parking so be prepared for that. Apparently it stated someplace in the paperwork when I made my reservations, but I didn’t see it.
