Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach

Are room looked like they converted an old motel. Diffienietly not what expected.

Nice hotel with the perfect location. On the beach.

This place was the best everything customer service was outstanding. Will be definitely coming back. 😊💕

Beautiful small hotel in a perfect location. Have stayed here mire than 12 times. Right on the sand , high end bedding & great staff. Our families top choice for accommodations in the area.

We stayed at the Sandcastle Hotel for one night during a road trip through California on June 20. The best thing about this place is the location—you’re right on the beach, steps from the pier, and within easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in downtown Pismo Beach. It doesn’t get more convenient than that. That said, the hotel itself didn’t quite deliver the boutique, luxury feel we were hoping for. The lobby felt a bit underwhelming—more like a converted apartment building than a thoughtfully designed hotel space. While clean and functional, the ambiance wasn’t particularly memorable. Dining was another weak spot. There’s an on-site bar/restaurant, but we found better options just a short walk away and would recommend doing the same. Morning coffee was also more of a hassle than it should be, especially compared to other hotels in this price range that offer better amenities or complimentary options. Overall, this is a solid pick for location-focused travelers, especially if you want to be close to the beach and downtown action. But if you’re looking for a high-end or design-forward stay, this might not check all the boxes.
