This is my second time staying at the Sand Castle Inn. Both times have been great with no issues. The inside of the rooms are updated, clean, and comfortable. My mother cannot continuously do stairs, and they were able to easily make sure we got a room on the 1sr floor. There’s a big shopping center close by with Target, Costco, HomeGoods, and more. Overall, it’s a decent and acceptable hotel that’s always reasonably priced. We will be returning here when we come back to the area.

Amazing find! Best price for a great quality room. Nothing bad for our stay. Room was clean, updated, and comfortable. 2nd floor had a balcony pointed to the road. Staff were friendly and helpful. 2-5 minutes from the beach. Would recommend!!!

Good location
The cons were that it was outdated and needs a lot repaired or updated. The pro was the fridge/freezer but mostly the location. Close to several stores, 5 min from beach and within 15-20 min to aquarium.

Window Blinds didn’t close properly. The pillows are uncomfortable, the refrigerator is very noisy. Bright lights shining into the room through all windows

Great place to stay
This place is much better than I anticipated. I went in with little expectation about quality but just want a cheap night of stay with my family. Clean room, comfortable AC, great lightings, clean bathroom, confortable bed & pillows. They also have microwave, coffee maker, fridge/freezer, hair dryer. Plus a common room outside with free ice, paid vending machine for drinks and paid washer & dryer. If I return in the area I’ll definitely consider it again!

Staff was nice and location was convenient. Stores like Target and Marshall’s nearby. The only drawback was that we could hear our neighbors upstairs getting ready to leave EARLY in the morning making it impossible to sleep in. Other than that it was a good stay.

A nice clean room with affordable pricing, the only problem in the room was the Keurig coffe machine, it didn’t work in the morning. Other than that, we would definitely stay there again, the receptionist guy at night was very helpful too, thank you

Don't expect more than a bed and shower
Decent place for a sleep and a shower. Balcony access was a no go, bathroom fan not functioning, window needed to be fiddled with to open in bathroom, received some attitude when asking for more towels.
