Great location and staff- otherwise calamity

Positives- close to beach, very good location. Friendly staff, very attentive and great service. Negatives- key card didnt work. Had to drag out big machine from the 90s to fix it. Paint peeling off bathroom door. Plumbing issues- had to get plunger to unclog the toilet and shower. Low water pressure. Old style hard spring beds like college dorms or worse. Bring your own pillows. Microwave blew up- went POP and didnt cook. They had to bring a new one and it did cold spots and burnt others. Fridge had to be turned on. Old shower curtain. Air can only be 72 degrees- old wall unit. Dim lighting in bathroom/vanity area. This would be great for teens or young 20s on a budget but for olders or injuries this is a no. Will not be back. Staff and location are the only 2 saving graces.

This was our second time staying at the Sandcastle Inn. We have enjoyed our stays. The only down side is if you have two vehicles when they are full, you have to park one somewhere else. For us it wasn’t a problem because of all the parking on the streets and it’s walking distance to the beach (which has parking)

Very basic room

The photos presented on websites are deceiving..yes the rooms are simple with a TV and free wi-fi - they are in dire need of total renovation..sink was old and without a stopper; towels pretty weathered and forget about any housekeeping. Check in happens across the street at a sister property which was not convenient when the room key no longer worked. If a very basic room is needed - this would be the place.
