My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. Very nice hotel right on the beach … beautiful views, comfortable rooms and really friendly staff. We really enjoyed sitting around the fire pits at The Deck and loved the coffee and food offered there. Perfect spot to relax! We will definitely stay here again.

Great location and views!
Just steps from the beach, we loved our stay at the Sandcastle Inn. The Deck (lounge restaurant onsite) had quick light bites available almost all day with great views. The hotel has bikes available to rent and an excellent location with a small parking lot for self park. The room was clean and had a comfy bed and a mini fridge, the bathroom was a tad small and the walls between rooms/hallways were super thin. I had a couple work conferences during the day and the people in my zoom call could hear the rowdy children thru the wall next door. I would stay again for a beach visit where I don't plan on having to work from the room most of the day!

Very nice stay
Very nice. Clean, cozy, right on the beach and very close to pier. Everyone was so nice. The only bummer was the close the decks and turn off the fire pits early. Especially on a Friday night. It wouldve been nice to chill outside later on a beautiful night.

The room was smaller than the rest on our floor and there was stains of liquid all over the walls, drains were slow in shower and sink, and the carpet was gross... stained and sticky. More attention should be put into the room cleanliness.

Great location but the room wasn’t that great. The smell of mold and dampness was apparent. And while it seemed to have been renovated to a degree, you could tell it was poorly done.
