Great place to stay. Close to and within walking distance to several places to eat, shop, and relax. Place was quite
(despite being on a busy road) and very clean. Stayed for two nites and enjoyed our accommodations.
The room was spacious, and well laid out for convenience. The staff was fabulous however they closed at 9:00 which is understandable, just not ideal. Parking was doable just a smaller parking lot. It was definitely a boutique style inn. It was close to the beach, and walkable to eateries and not too far from the funk zone and the lower end of state near the pier. It is definitely a place I would recommend!
Great location, clean room, speedy check in. There are many great restaurants in walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is only one parking space per room but they gave us a parking pass so my son could park on the street.
Well, priced and decorated. BED was comfortable. Castillo and many hotels are amidst busy Beach area... that's good and noise from traffic eventually stops at latter bed time.
The hotel is conveniently located to the main attractions. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are not quite updated and could be noisy with the traffic around the hotel.
Enjoyed the private patio for the room we chose. Very quiet and relaxing. Walking distance to restaurants, the harbor and the beach. We will definitely stay at this property again!

If you need a room to sleep in that allows you to walk to the beach, this spot is an option.
The air conditioner system smells musty when working as does the room I was in.
They don't staff the desk after 9PM- My key cards weren't working when I got home at 11PM, and had to call the emergency line to get someone to drive over to fix it.
The patio furniture on the patio needs a deep clean.
The towels were great. The room was very clean. The parking is plentiful and convenient.
Parking was a little tight, but I was able to find a parking space each night. The property looked clean. My room was clean.
The staff were nice and professional.
Reasonable price for the room. I was able to get to my destination in reasonable time. Will stay here again
The hotel location is great, close to the sea, and convenient parking at the hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is polite and helpful.
The location is perfect. We were walking distance to a lot of great local restaurants and shops. Loved the peaceful atmosphere and amazing views. We would absolutely stay here again.
