I had to work in Pismo Beach and The Sandcastle Inn was recommended by a coworker in the area. Hard to believe a nicer facility in Pismo Beach. It is literally right on the beach. After work I was able to stroll the promenade, walk right onto the beach and then sit in the jacuzzi while looking out at the... More

There were many of us this visit and we had an ocean front suite! It was so very nice. We won't stay anywhere else now! Great staff, house keeping, their continental breakfast is amazing! The best part of this hotel is their location as well. You can stay there and have everything at walking distance! Thank you Sandcastle Inn for... More

Pros: * fantastic location -- a few minutes walk to the pier and multiple shops. HUGE PLUS! * great view -- you HAVE to get an oceanfront room if you stay here. It's worth it for the little balcony and waves lulling you to sleep * friendly staff, especially the housekeepers, they are lovely people. Kayla at the front desk... More

I stay at this hotel regularly. Recently they have refurbished, looks great. Teri handled the phone reservation smoothly and quickly and Sarah checked me in in just a few seconds, great when you are tired from travelling and just want to relax. These folks continue to win my business because of the warm friendly way all the staff treat guests. More

My youngest daughter and husband had stayed here and really enjoyed their stay so when a chance came to surprise my husband with a beach getaway this was my 1st thought. Our room was right on the beach with a great view of the ocean and pier. We could walk to shops that were near by, Coffee was available 24... More

We spent 2 nights here with our 2 Pugs. When we arrived, they had a welcome sign for their new furry visitors, nice touch. The room was average, though we had a second floor room with a balcony looking over the boardwalk and the beach. It was pretty windy and cold at the beach, so it was perfect to sit... More

This was our second trip to Pismo Beach to relax and enjoy the sand between our toes and the soothing sound of ocean waves. The room did not have the fireplace our last hotel had but the location right on the beach with an easy walk to the pier, restaurants and the shops was much better. People watching and the... More

I have always wanted to stay here, but when planning ahead (usually in high season) it always was bit more than I thought it was worth. I walked in on a Sunday in April and was pleased with the rate, the room, the amenities - free WiFi and a walk out to the beach and town, and a decent breakfast... More

We spent last weekend at the Sandcastle Inn, which is a hotel we have scoped out for years as it is perfectly located right on the beach. Everything about this hotel was just perfect from the room, to the view, to the location. It is situated right on the beach but also nicely close to the stores. Besides the great... More

Our $188 per night room increased to $242 when I indicated we were bring our family dog. Fine, I expected the pet fee. However, the super-charged price meant we were no longer in a room within the protected hallway which I assume must have been quieter than our room that was in an open, outside hall with noisy teens running...

While we are a pet friendly hotel, we offer specific rooms for our guests with pets located in different areas of the hotel. After deciding to bring a pet, the guest called our hotel to learn that the only pet friendly rooms available were our Ocean Front rooms, which the guest agreed to pay for the premium room type.
