Not only does Sandcastle Hotel have a great location, they also have a patio with heaters overlooking the ocean. Also, they have free bikes that you can use to explore the town.

Furnace is loud, couldn’t sleep well. I texted them, no answer. They need to fix the loud noise.

Fantastic location. Best thing was the walking distance to the beach, pier, and everything in Pismo. Very convenient and what an awesome sight to wake up to the beach, ocean, and waves, even in December!
$30/night for parking in winter was a shock. I understand supply and demand, but winter on the central coast is hardly "high demand".

Perfect location and beautifully decorated for the Holidays. Clean lovely room
The Deck closed 2 hours early. Thus we had to walk to find a restaurant open. A member of our family was in a wheelchair. We planned to dine there after check in but now had to go get takeout.

It is beach front. The staff is very accommodating. It is family owned. The 3rd floor and 1st floor has decks with gas fireplaces and lounge chairs. Connects to the pier and local ears and shopping.
I was surprised that they charge $30 a day for parking.

Pismo Beach is a beautiful place, and the hotel was lovely too. A large room with an ocean view. Everything was very clean and tidy. The service was excellent. The hotel feels modern inside, and it is very well decorated.
The beaches are beautiful and wide but somewhat dirty due to plants and debris from the sea. Just a few blocks away is one of the best places to order cinnamon rolls

I like the amenities, the bike usage, the patio bar
Having the rooms over looking other properties especially the run down house across the street. Screen doors don’t work

The staff was amazing! They were very accommodating. We upgraded one night to an ocean view. It was wonderful watching the ocean from our deck. The hotel is a perfect location for walking to the shops and restaurants. Beautiful outside sitting area with fire pits.
The rooms are just standard rooms and ocean front room was small. Really nothing fancy except Starbucks coffee in the room.

Great access to beach. Friendly staff. Good cafe.
Neighbors were super loud late into the night, kept the kids awake. Staff said they would check it out but it didn’t stop.
Cafe was out of many of the ingredients needed for their drinks and coffees.
Price had increased significantly.

Clean, nicely decorated, great ocean views, right on the beach! I loved my ADA bathroom...well done!
My ADA room had a low platform bed that was hard to get out of. I didn't have a chair in my room, just a low, slanted chaise lounge I couldn't comfortably sit on or barely get out of. And no chair to sit at my table.

Location to beach and pier was all walking distance , amenities , food choices , comfy beds and room.
Little bit over our budget (700 a night after all the taxes ) but I guess that’s what the going rates are for the season and location

Had to go back to the reservation desk at the hotel because we couldn’t find our room only to learn that our room was in a completely different building which also served as covered parking for the hotel.

hotel is next to the beach, we got the money back for the nights we cancelled
Very old hotel which was badly renovated, looks way better on the pictures, extremly overpriced, unfriendly staff, we wanted to stay for 3 nights but checked out after one. parking costs extra

The room and shower/bathroom facilities were very good. We also enjoyed eating breakfast at the cafe downstairs off the deck.., also Happy Hour drinks and prices were very good. It was lovely sitting outside on the deck with an electric firepit, looking out to the ocean. The room maid service staff were very accommodating and helpful.
The room fan and thermostat was extremely hard to figure out to control the temperature of the room. Also we checked in by phone call to the front desk, we asked for an upgrade... possibly to upgrade to a room with a balcony.
The staff member at the front desk quoted it would cost $200.00 more per night. RIDICULOUS! The parking fee of $25/night was RIDICULOUS.

The location and staff were friendly and helpful
It was dated, the rooms were shabby with peeling wallpaper, old furniture, two different plugs didn’t work, no safe, bathroom door didn’t shut properly, stains on walls and bathroom doors, room smelt of cooking from the kitchen below, very noisy, no balcony just a window with dirty curtains. For over $600 for one night I expected better.

Hotel is in a great location right on the beach, rooms are modern and clean .
Parking charges are high for guests even though on street parking is free.
The walls in the hotel are paper thin, we had to move rooms due to noise from above,the 2nd room was just as bad

Very nice location and welcoming staff
On our second night there, a child was asleep in the room and we had someone pounding on our door and we could hear them running away. We brought it up to staff but they were unable to do anything about it. It felt like we weren’t being heard about our concern.

Great location. Walk to everything
AC in room extremely loud. Could not hear tv when it came on. We were on third floor of separate building and when rooms on each ac came onside the humming was loud also. Our 2 rooms were in separate buildings. Not good if you have small children.
