It’s a small little hotel location is very convenient. Rooms are little dated, but they’re large.
Hotel was just what we needed, the staff at checking was very friendly and helpful, he even had the courtesy of speaking to us in Spanish which was even more helpful. Location was great, not far from downtown, nor the train station. Definitely recommend for a quick getaway.
The Castillo Inn was so lovely and clean. It was easy to park because the lot was right next to the room very comfortable and was just a very short walk to the beach. I had a wonderful time. I plan to return soon.
The location was great. Very close to the harbor, dolphin watching tour boats, walking distance to eateries. The staff held my luggage while I took my tour as I checked out early. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly!
We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights. We loved the room with our own private patio! The beds were the most comfortable we ever experienced! The close proximity to the beach and restaurants added to our great time. We hope to come back soon!
The staff were so helpful, very friendly and welcoming. I loved the room I stayed in. It had most of the amenities I needed. One thing I'd suggest they have in each room is a microwave. I will definitely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The location was good and easy to walk around to visit restaurants and beach.
The location was great but this hotel is quite dated. Our room was dark and smelled of cleaning chemicals. There is no place to sit outside to enjoy coffee or a cocktail. The young man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. This might be a fine place for a night or two, but not an extended stay.
