The Sand Castle in was really nice for the rate on the room. However I wasn't to happy with the pet fee of $40 a night. Especially because they had no where to even walk the dog. Thank goodness we bring our own dog doo doo bags.

Cheap for a reason
There is absolutely zero insulation from outside noise and while there wasn't much traffic noise, there were other guests who were inconsiderate and had very loud trucks they started between 5 and 8am.
The shower leaked and there were some cosmetic issues inside the room.

The hotel was clean and modern. Staff at the front desk were nice. Costco is right across the street and restaurants were plentiful in the area. Best of all it was less than a mile from the beach and the bike trail.

Staff is friendly, room was clean, plenty of parking, shower has strong water pressure, and two large shopping centers nearby. I had a great stay. If I ever come back to the area I would stay here again.

Nice quiet spot
Nice spot for an overnight stay. Room was small, but comfortable. In-room coffee maker did not work, but overall nice place. The filtered water dispenser next to the ice machine is a nice touch.

This was my first time staying there and I was very surprised at the wonderful facility. The parking lot was beautiful and clean easy access to all rooms. My room was very updated clean and the bed was super comfortable. The shower was wonderful and even had a fridge and microwave was a great size. I really enjoyed my stay there.
