Beautiful location with immediate beach access. Found dog foods on the floor on the night we checked in. This is more like an inn, not a hotel.

If you want to go to Pismo Beach it’s fine to stay here. A bit overpriced. The neighborhood is safe but the area has been ruined by developers of condos and hotels. It’s a perfect example of greed and poor city management ruining a gem by folding to builders. Go somewhere else. Limited restaurants. AND don’t pay for parking unless you can’t find it. It’s free and available on the street.

well the location and service at the sandcastle inn is excellent. There are a couple of things I found to be off point. First...charging you ten dollars a day for using their wi fi. First 24 hours are free after that get ready to pay. Second...wanting to charge you $15.00 a day for a microwave in your room. You can be nickeled and dimed to death with little fees here and there. That was a huge turn off. Location is beautiful...rooms were nice but please sandcastle...easy up on the fees for small conveniences you can get free somewhere else.
