We were very disappointed with our stay at the Sand Castle Inn and Suites in Imperial Beach. The room was in a state of disrepair as caulking was peeling in both room areas the view out of our window was of the laundry facility. The bed was not very comfortable, too hard. Paint drips splattered the window in the door. No waste paper basket. The towels were rough, scratchy and very dingy, I use better towels on my dog. Not a fan of the contactless check in with the host; we were not allowed early check in due to housekeeping issues. Based on the condition of the room I don’t think they ever found a member of house keeping team. One last thing it appears that we were misinformed about the quality of this location based on what we saw on the website.

I recently stayed at the Sandcastle Inn on Imperial beach and I can honestly say this is such an underrated hotel! My boyfriend and I came to San Diego for my birthday and we decided we wanted to stay in a quiet, peaceful beach town. This hotel was right across from the beach as well as in walking distance to many restaurants. I never thought I’d like the non traditional check in, but I loved it! The hostess's make you feel reassured and immediately answering any questions. The rooms itself have so much to offer. The aesthetic of the room is cozy, making you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation. It even comes with a kitchenette! It was such a clean and wonderful place. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to stay here.

Looking for a 5 star resort? Keep scrolling. Looking for a small, quiet, clean, bug free room with a comfortable bed that’s less than a minute walk to the sand and 5 minute walk to the pier? If so this place is great. We stayed here 7days and it was great! Check in kind of irritated me at first but wasn’t a big deal.

The room itself was great, very clean. We had some trouble with our code to get in and the room doesn’t lock from the inside so I had to put the coffee table in front of the door so my toddler wouldn’t try to open it.

Overall wonderful!

Right off the beach being between wonderful restaurants and only a couple mins from the pier, a lovely location, the coffee is included! There is blemishes on the walls and corners of the room but nothing that alarms me, just the wear and tear. Overall when I’m in the mood to come back to IB I’ll try to book for here! :)
