It was very clean. Friendly staff. We reserved an ocean front and the sunset/sunrise view was an unforgettable experience

2.0 / 10.0

With such a breathtaking view, this hotel should take more pride in their property. We felt catfished. It was not maintained at all. Mildew in bathrooms. Carpets were dirty. Patio had spider webs!! I felt dirty and we had a full week stay. Super disappointed!!!

The stay was amazing, room was upgraded free of charge to a full beach front view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Great staff, room was great being next to the beach. The carpets were stained so we asked for beach towels to lay down, so we didn’t have to walk on them. Room was small, no microwave, but still a great stay.

Even though the price was the going rate for similar hotels, things other hotels offer as standard cost extra here. Parking, breakfast even a microwave in the room!

Loved the place. It was a great getaway. Our favorite part was sitting out on the deck watching the waves

We had a ocean front room, which made it very nice. It was on the 1st floor though. So we got to see a lot of people walk by clean room. Staff was friendly.

The Sandcastle was a great place to stay, right on the beach. We'll be back !

So disappointed in this stay, we booked a king size room and we were given a double bed. The staff didn’t seem concerned about rectifying this and at 8 months pregnant a full size bed for a couple is not ok or comfortable. The noise level was absurd. The staff was incredibly loud starting at 6:30 in the morning; speaking, shouting, and laughing right outside of our room with zero consideration. We are leaving more tired and extremely unrested when this was supposed to be our prebaby getaway. Wishing we had spent the little extra money to stay at the vespera hotel across the way.

The bed was so uncomfortable to sleep in. I literally sunk in . Its time to get new mattresses.

Hotel was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the convenience of restaurants/bars and shopping were walkable distance. We were not notified until we checked in that there was an additional $30 parking fee. They should have added this in the price! I hate “surprise” fees!

Great place right on the beach. Easy access to local shops and dining. You can check out bikes and they provide helmets and a lock. They also provide beach chairs. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back.

For what is charged per room i think you need to upgrade toilets from low to hi. They r too low and cause back injury trying to get up. Ridiculous

The hotel was beautiful and right off the boardwalk. Had a great time.

6.0 / 10.0

I didnt like the fact that the bartender at the hotel gave us a watered down bloody mary, and I did not like having a room without a balcony. The front desk was nice and held our luggage for a few hour's free of charge while waiting for our flight.

4.0 / 10.0

The hotel was great! Free rental of bikes and chairs. Clean room and comfortable. At first we couldn’t get the thermostat lower than 78. It took us a day to get it to go below that. Clean room. But being on the first floor it was noisy. Loud neighbors w/kids. They should all somehow be put together. Then a loud walker on top of us (sounded like a dinosaur above us) don’t get much sleep.

Room was not ready until 5:30pm. Arrived at 4pm, check in time.

Sandcastle is a great beachfront hotel with unbeatable views. Our room was spacious with a quarter view of the beach within seconds of the boardwalk! Our pup loved it and didn't want to go back home. The Deck dining has great coffee and top tier ocean/beach view. Great stay, recommended.Thank you.

Odd. It’s my summary word. People in Pismo, odd. Low quality food served at seemingly high quality beach front hotel-odd. Restaurant says open til 9 but won’t serve anything but alcohol at 8:10-odd. Gorgeous exterior with $40/night parking but noise inside like a motel 6-odd

Dear Sandcastle Hotel Team, I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel, and I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with you. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles from your staff, which set the tone for a delightful visit. The accommodations were immaculate, with a stunning view of the beach that truly enhanced my stay. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided in the room, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming. Furthermore, the on-site restaurant offered fantastic dining options, and the breakfast buffet was a highlight – fresh, diverse, and delicious. I also enjoyed the various activities available nearby and found the location to be ideal for exploring the local attractions. Overall, my experience at the Sandcastle Hotel exceeded my expectations, and I'll be sure to recommend it to friends and family looking for a getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Best regards, Matthew Davis

Perfect location! Walking distance to everything you need. We really enjoyed the free (2 hr) bike rental.

6.0 / 10.0

Great location but very overpriced compared to other properties. At almost $500 a night, $5 for a bottle of water to make terrible coffee in the room was a bit much. No complimentary breakfast or water, no complimentary coffee in the lobby and the fire pits/couches outside were dirty. We checked in later about 8:30 pm and grabbed a bottle of wine to unwind and enjoy the ocean breeze. The “snack counter/bar” was closing at 9:00 so we rushed to get a bottle. Go up to the 3rd floor deck, which supposedly closed at 10:00 and they started turning off fire pits at 9:30 on a Saturday night mind you. They booted us about 10 minutes before 10:00. . . on a Saturday night. Nice property, but there’s too many good places in the area for the same or less money. Our sink was also clogged and the ceiling over the shower was dirty.
