Good for a night or 2.

The Castaway is a good place to stay for the price. I've stayed here before. It is clean but always has a strong smell of bleach.

Pleasantly Surprised

Great management and staff. Beyond what is typical, especially in the lower price point. I frequent the McDonald's next door and meet quite a few people who stay there regularly. Will be back again.

They really don't clean well. First I found the microwave with spoiled food, who knows how long it had been in it, and then I found a sock that wasn't mine. At night, I don't know what happened, but they knocked on the window several times while I was sleeping in the middle of the night.

Good stay

I booked this hotel because we had an event at the Honda center, and it was close and in our budget. I was a little worried based on the reviews however, my check-in was very nice and flawless. A young man checked me in and I also did speak with the woman who I believe is in charge and she was very nice. The hotel does have rules which they do clearly state on the website and on a sign when you’re checking in. of course, if you try to go against these rules, there will be an issue. I did really like how the kitchen area was separate from the room there is no issues with parking and area was decent as well. There’s a lot of bars and food areas around would recommend
