Nice place at a good price

Friendly and helpful check-in. Spacious comfortable room with coffeemaker and fridge. Also had a little patio, though not sure why I'd sit there, surrounded by a fence... Great value

Enjoyed my stay. The place is very close to Cabrillo Blvd, which runs along the beach, so it's only a 5-minute walk to an ocean view and about a 10-minute walk to State St. The room had just about everything I needed, the bed was comfortable. The WiFi was decent, not super-fast. One of the nicest things about this place is that it's right around the corner from Toma, which has a great cioppino. And other good restaurants are within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Pleasant Stay in Santa Barbara

Enjoyed are stay. The room was clean and spacious, shower had good water pressure, bed was comfortable but needed better pillows. Parking in the parking lot is a little tight.

Great choice when staying in SB!

Loved our 2nd stay at Castillo Inn. The hotel is in a great location and was very clean. Front desk staff was friendly and very awesome in accommodating an early check in. My only issue was the thermostat and controlling the room temperature. It didn’t maintain the preferred temps and had us waking up several times during the night. Definitely didn’t get a good nights rest. The WiFi also either shut off or went out so watching TV also wasn’t an option when we couldn’t sleep. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

Great location and staff.

The staff here was amazing. Several times I forgot my key in the room and the staff made me a new key with a smile. Even had the manager run and get us a key once. The location is amazing, we walked on the beach and down to shops and restaurants every day. Would definitely recommend this place and we look forward to coming back.

Nice family stay.

This was our second time staying at the Castillo Inn. The rooms and staff we friendly and this time we did get the room with the patio. It was nice to be able to walk out and sit out. Only downfall that is not against the hotel but the park across the street had a lot of homeless. Plus someone was honking their horn every night that was parked across the street. I would come back because the hotel is great and the rooms are good size.
