Simple inn, good location

Basic inn near the harbor. Comfortable bed and shower. Nice shower amenities. A continental breakfast would be a nice addition, as other inns in the area offer it.

Sweet, conveniently located hotel

Sweet hotel one block from the Marina. We stayed in 4 rooms for a family vacation with teens and senior citizens- and it was perfect for the entire family. Nice, clean rooms, lovely staff, great location. Would definitely stay there again.

8/10 Very good

Clean spacious room.

Nice large room with a sitting area and a few yard from the beach. The only downside would be the placement of the small tv and the tabletop ironing board.

Jerome, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very comfortable and nice place to stay

My husband and I really like the Castillo Inn. It’s old but kept up very nice. The beds are very comfortable and bathroom is nice. The only thing I miss is a microwave. We have a small one that we bring. We’ve been staying there for probably 10 years at least. We have tried a few orhers but always come back.
