Wasn't looking for anything fancy; this was just right. And right across the street from the beach!

Dirty not like photos

We were very disappointed with our stay at the Sand Castle Inn and Suites in Imperial Beach. The room was in a state of disrepair as caulking was peeling in both room areas the view out of our window was of the laundry facility. The bed was not very comfortable, too hard. Paint drips splattered the window in the door. No waste paper basket. The towels were rough, scratchy and very dingy, I use better towels on my dog. Not a fan of the contactless check in with the host; we were not allowed early check in due to housekeeping issues. Based on the condition of the room I don’t think they ever found a member of house keeping team. One last thing it appears that we were misinformed about the quality of this location based on what we saw on the website.

Didn’t look like the pictures on the website

Good location. Clean. New rooms. Good stuff. Recommended 100%. The best in this place

My family had a great time everywhere we went was pet friendly, we’ll definitely be coming back!

I recently stayed at the Sandcastle Inn on Imperial beach and I can honestly say this is such an underrated hotel! My boyfriend and I came to San Diego for my birthday and we decided we wanted to stay in a quiet, peaceful beach town. This hotel was right across from the beach as well as in walking distance to many restaurants. I never thought I’d like the non traditional check in, but I loved it! The hostess's make you feel reassured and immediately answering any questions. The rooms itself have so much to offer. The aesthetic of the room is cozy, making you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation. It even comes with a kitchenette! It was such a clean and wonderful place. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to stay here.

It was a great stay beautiful view

I will definitely stay again. Loved the contactless service, the Tulum vibe room with kitchenette was awesome. Across the street from the beach and next to restaurants. All walking distance. The amenities were great.

Super cute decor next to the beach very chill

Looking for a 5 star resort? Keep scrolling. Looking for a small, quiet, clean, bug free room with a comfortable bed that’s less than a minute walk to the sand and 5 minute walk to the pier? If so this place is great. We stayed here 7days and it was great! Check in kind of irritated me at first but wasn’t a big deal.

Very nice very well put

It was a great place to stay with my son. We enjoyed it great location thank you owners were very compatible and easy to work with.

Everything was wonderful!

First time here , the “ contactless “ check in process seemed almost harassing Nothing on the Expedia website said you had to pay for parking yet I seem to recall the motel saying I had to pay extra for parking , which I did not . The room is nice but the 5 messages seemed excessive

The property does have a great location and the staff was responsive and would answer all question at a moments notice.what i disliked about the room was the bed sheets were dirty , stained and also had blood stains on the mattress. Aswell as the towels were stained and the shower was not properly cleaned

The room itself was great, very clean. We had some trouble with our code to get in and the room doesn’t lock from the inside so I had to put the coffee table in front of the door so my toddler wouldn’t try to open it.

Right off the beach being between wonderful restaurants and only a couple mins from the pier, a lovely location, the coffee is included! There is blemishes on the walls and corners of the room but nothing that alarms me, just the wear and tear. Overall when I’m in the mood to come back to IB I’ll try to book for here! :)

Good location, but not worth it. I don’t want to just hate on this place, but I left two nights into my three night stay because it was really bad. No garbage, no soap, about 1/4 roll of toilet paper. No air controls. No maid service in my room while I was there. Bed caved in. Humidity was so high that my towels never dried.

We usually stay at this property 2-3 times per year and have for the last 5 years. We learned earlier in the year this property had been sold and is under new management. We were not allowed to check in early even though the maint tech employee onsite told us our room was ready. We arrived to NO HOT WATER, messaged in the morning took them all day and we arrived back to tools all over the bathroom and the bathtub faucet taken apart. We were left with no towels after the tech used them all and were brought no additional towels as promised. The tech arrived smelling heavily of marijuana and we had to sit in our room for 2 hours with our 2 daughters while this tech is high out of his mind trying to fix the water issue. When he was finished chunks of dirt kept running out of the faucet. We couldn't really shower during our 3 night stay. The outside stairs are crumbling to the point where it appears they are going to give out any moment. There isn't staff onsite anymore so you are left with text messaging a person who could care less about the issues going on. DO NOT RECCOMEND STAYING HERE!!
