The room was clean and comfortable. The property was well lit and close to grocery stores. The management was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again
Property is being improved. Our mattress was good, the little refrigerator worked fine and the AC/heater worked fine. We rented two rooms for ourselves and my son with two of his daughters. Great location and excellent value compared to the cost of surrounding hotels.
The Sand Castle Inn is a small older motel, but it’s as nice and updated as you can ask for. Everything was clean and fresh feeling, nice large flat screen tv with apps available. Would definitely stay here again.
Check-in was very easy and convenient The room was very nice. The bed linen was clean. The bathroom was well supplied with towels. I definitely would go bad. I only wish the parking lot was a bit bigger and the mini fridge was colder.
