We spent last weekend at the Sandcastle Inn, which is a hotel we have scoped out for years as it is perfectly located right on the beach. Everything about this hotel was just perfect from the room, to the view, to the location. It is situated right on the beach but also nicely close to the stores. Besides the great... More

Our $188 per night room increased to $242 when I indicated we were bring our family dog. Fine, I expected the pet fee. However, the super-charged price meant we were no longer in a room within the protected hallway which I assume must have been quieter than our room that was in an open, outside hall with noisy teens running...

While we are a pet friendly hotel, we offer specific rooms for our guests with pets located in different areas of the hotel. After deciding to bring a pet, the guest called our hotel to learn that the only pet friendly rooms available were our Ocean Front rooms, which the guest agreed to pay for the premium room type. We... More

I have come back to the Sand Castle Inn many times with college friends as well as grand kids and have enjoyed our stay every time. We love the proximity to downtown Pismo and beach access as well as the beautiful rooms, jacuzzi on the beach and waffle bar in the AM. We especially enjoy the area in the early... More

My Mom had been expressing a desire to visit Pismo Beach. She and my dad always looked forward to vacationing there and since his death in 2001 she didn't have the ability to return. I checked into accommodations and loved the close proximity to the beach, contacted the very kind and thoughtful staff and made our plans. The minute we... More

We reserved a dog-friendly room for 3 nights beginning on Easter Sunday. Room was reserved directly with the hotel to ensure a pet-friendly room was available. The only oceanfront room available that was pet-friendly was a 1st floor room with a king size bed. They offered a rollaway or aerobed at a small additional cost for my son since there... More

Great location, though the surrounding residential / commercial properties are a little beaten up. Hotel has no real lobby, but the service was efficient and warm. Clean rooms, comfy beds, suite was a good size for a family of four plus a baby. Complimentary breakfast was good. Overall, this place is good value, saved by a terrific location. Don't expect...

We were pleasantly surprised with our room. The bathroom was small but the bedroom was roomy with a nice balcony to sit and watch day go by. It is a clean and tidy hotel. The breakfast room is nice, with a good continental selection. The pier is just outside the hotel but you have to drive to nice restaurants as... More

The Sandcastle Inn at Pismo Beach is, in a word, AMAZING! The location is the best of any hotel in Pismo Beach, the owner/staff are unbelievable, the rooms are very classy and the outdoor fireplace and jacuzzi overlooking the Pismo Beach and the pier are unbeatable. Rates are very competitive, especially for this prime spot where you can park you... More
