I chose this hotel while searching on the trivago site & was sent to hotels.com to book the room. The trivago listing showed that this motel had breakfast which was one reason I chose it as well as the pool. There was no breakfast & the pool was clean & great but their dumpsters were located behind the pool so when the wind blew all you could smell was garbage. The staff was great & room was clean. Our stay was during the week so parking was plentiful. We did enjoy our stay.

The rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff was very nice and helpful. We were able to rent beach chairs, which was an awesome bonus. The property is retro and as advertised. Not fancy and could use some upgrades, but perfect for a budget friendly beach getaway. Great location.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sand Castle. The pool was salt water and very clean. The walk to the beach was short. The location was excellent and in reach of many restaurants and shopping locations. The beds were okay but could use an upgrade. For the price compared to others we really enjoyed our stay.

Clean room, comfortable bed, A/C worked great and clean pool. Parking was hard to get in and out of spaces due to small parking lot and more than a few spaces were marked off with large cones as not useable. My grandchildren and I only stayed one night after a long day at the beach, so it served our purpose and close to Lighthouse Pizza we picked up and Sunrise Restaurant for breakfast buffet the next morning.

The hotel room was fantastically clean. It was a quiet stay. The room was not as outdated as some. Our room did have some broken features, and there was next to no water pressure. It was a fair trade-off for a great price and a great location. I would stay here again.
