Pismo getaway

People were very friendly, room was great and loved being right by the pier. We were happy to have made dinner reservations at a restaurant right across the street and being able to walk to get coffee, lunch and cinnamon rolls so close to the hotel. We will stay here again.

So nice and close to the beach

Our stay was great. We got to the hotel before check in and asked if early check in was available. The front desk was so nice about it and our room was ready so we checked in early. Everything was clean and ready to go. The view from our balcony was nice as well. The walk to the beach was so short it truly was so convenient. I fully enjoyed my stay at the Sandcastle hotel.

Awesome ocean view

My wife and I have been to Pismo beach before but she always wanted to stay here so we splurged and got the suite with the ocean view balcony. View was awesome. The cafe in the hotel is great and the 2 fire pit lounge areas are great. I enjoyed that the hotel provides lawn chairs and sand toys for us to borrow for the beach. Will definitely stay here next time.
