First stayed at the Sand Castle Inn over Thanksgiving last year and loved it! We went back over Spring Break this year. So happy to have discovered the little place right across the street from the beach. There aren't many places left along the coast where you can stay across the street from the beach for these prices. The rooms... More

We stayed at the Sandcastle Inn on Friday March 9th, 2012. The hotel is in an excellent location right across the street from Imperial Beach. The manager on duty was great and got us checked in quickly. He upgraded us to a room with a microwave and refrigerator at no charge and we were able to take advantage of the... More

We had just spent a horrible month in this little apartment down the street called the Clam Shell.. If you hear of that place and are tempted to stay there, be aware that there is mold in the walls. I was sick most of the time I was there and the place is just run down......Now for the Sand Castle... More

My partner and I stayed at Sand Castle Inn in late August for a one-night trip, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We were quickly checked in, shown to our room by the clerk, the room was spacious and had a breathtaking view of the ocean. All of those things were nice, but what really cemented Sand Castle...

After an allergic reaction to the pets at my friend's home needed to find a place to stay, in the middle of the night. This place was perfect. Pet Free! Tile floors. Everything was very clean. And the beach was right across the street. The staff was very accommodating. There is a charm about the location that is difficult to... More

We were In town for the Superfrog Triathlon. We left the Mariott on Saturday to be closer to our race start. The room was so clean, stocked, and a perfect location to the beach. The staff was kind enough to give us a late check out so we could shower after the race. I think the rates were reasonable for... More

The location is good right accross from the beach. They were installing a new security gate rightr next to our room on the... More

When I needed a place to stay, they were there to help. Though the rooms are just a little bit pricey (due to location which is fine, because the beach is right there), I had a great time here, the staff was nice and the rooms were kept clean :) Kitchenette with 1 bed was super roomy :)
