Beautiful location with immediate beach access. Found dog foods on the floor on the night we checked in. This is more like an inn, not a hotel.

If you want to go to Pismo Beach it’s fine to stay here. A bit overpriced. The neighborhood is safe but the area has been ruined by developers of condos and hotels. It’s a perfect example of greed and poor city management ruining a gem by folding to builders. Go somewhere else. Limited restaurants. AND don’t pay for parking unless you can’t find it. It’s free and available on the street.

well the location and service at the sandcastle inn is excellent. There are a couple of things I found to be off point. First...charging you ten dollars a day for using their wi fi. First 24 hours are free after that get ready to pay. Second...wanting to charge you $15.00 a day for a microwave in your room. You can be nickeled and dimed to death with little fees here and there. That was a huge turn off. Location is beautiful...rooms were nice but please sandcastle...easy up on the fees for small conveniences you can get free somewhere else.

I’d asked for a roll away bed and there wasn’t one. The tv didn’t work until we asked for it to be fixed. Plugs didn’t work.

Our room 100 was looking at first pretty awesome. However, it has a lack of maintenance, some things were almost falling apart, like the kitchen cabinet. The fan in the bathroom was pretty noisy. On the other side of the wall there is an office and we could understand everything since the walls seems so tiny and not insulated at all. Also, charging 25$ a night for the parking seems too much. For the pros, we appreciated the fireplaces on the deck, especially with the cold temperature we had.

No RESTURANT to stay and dine at was disappointing. Room was great but was the only one on the outside of the building room 207. The air conditioning unit made noise when keeping the temperature in the room. Next visit I will definitely ask for a room inside of the building security doors. Location was great and parking was easy to access
