Our favorite place to stay at Pismo! Right off the beach and boadwalk connects to the pier and shops. I have always enjoyed our stay at the Sandcastle Inn compared to the other Hotels that we've stayed at in the area. Always my first choice when just planning a get a way from the Central Valley. We love the Sandcastle... more

Mick has been taking us to the Sandcastle for 10 years now and let's us stay with him. The rooms are generally very comfortable and clean. Mick always enjoys the ocean views and sleeps soundly at night with the heavenly ocean surf. The staff always welcomes MicK with open arms and makes our check in swift and easy. We would... more

We have been staying at the Sandcastle Inn for almost 15 years! NEVER a disappointment. It has large, beautifully appointed, extremely clean and comfortable rooms...and absolutely NO better location on the beach. What beautiful views. The staff is extremely friendly and always accomodating. It has a beautiful lobby for breakfast with a beautiful front row view of the Pacific Ocean.... more

My wife and I had a waterfront room adjacent to the room of her two sisters. Both rooms were very comfortable, well prepped, and an excellent value, including a small balcony. The rooms were quiet and stayed nice and dark for late morning sleeping in. The breakfast room also overlooks the beach and is a pleasant place to eat. more

Dog rooms were filthy. I have two small dogs and my home does not smell like the SPCA so I would not expect a hotel that should be cleaned daily to smell like it either. more

This hotel was so amazing. The staff was so friendly and accomodating. The location was incredible, right on the beach. The beds and linen were very comfortable, and yet most of all, imagine waking up to the sound of the ocean with the smell of crisp clean air. WOW!!! I can't say enough... This was our first time there and... more

The Sandcastle is the ONLY place I stay when vacationing at the beach. Its friendly atmosphere is evident upon registration. Rooms are comfortable and neat. Views from the ocean front and pier front rooms are gorgeous. The perfect location allows for a leisurely walk around town or to the end of the pier. When planning a recent family reunion, the... more

When I checked into the hotel the front desk did not even have my reservation. Even after i told her my confirmation number from the email i was sent they still couldn't find it. So I was upgraded to an ocean view room. This was not as nice as it should have been intended. It was the first room on... more

It was unfortunate that the wrong date was booked and subsequently charged as a "no-show". Once contacted by the guest and told of the circumstances, apologies were extended, the extra charge was promptly removed and a complimentary gift certificiate for a future stay was offered and accepted by the guest. Our goal at the Sandcastle Inn is to provide 100%...

We have stayed at this hotel at least a half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. This hotel has a fantastic location on the beach. The rooms are large and modern. The included breakfast is pretty good. This last time we arrived at early and was given the room as soon as we got back from a late... more
