5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We stayed in this inn recently and were very impressed with the lovely accommodations! While from the outside this would appear to be a typical motel, the inside tells a very different story. Our room was beautifully decorated and the living area and bathroom were very well-appointed! The bed was very comfortable and our stay was delightful. And, we were... More

I really appreciate Castillo Inn, simple, clean, near the beach, Mesa, state street and of course Dan is friendly and welcomes me back each visit as if I just left. Trip number 5 to visit my boys who moved to SB. Will return:-)

My husband and I Loved the Castillo Inn! The decor brought us back to Romantic Italy and the bed was so comfortable we slept like babies. The Innkeeper was terrific, gave suggestions on things to do, places to eat and generally eager to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. We just got back from a 10 day drive up... More

Unbeatable in price, location, service and cleanliness combined. Short walk to shops, some of the best restaurants in town, and the beach! Reasonably priced for the service that they offer. You even have a fair selection of cold breakfast included in the price. One of the best hotels I've stayed in California in this price range.

Easy to walk to beach and town from here. The pier (the wharf) is about a 15 min walk. Room was very large, no 12, bed extremely comfortable and tv was huge. Breakfast was in the lobby and you could take it back to your room. Receptionist was helpful and gave dinner recommendation and tips on things to do. Try... More

Great place to stay. Good position and had a great room (room 30). Dan Recommended a restaurant to us which was just around the corner and it was excellent. He also gave us directions for our next destination and a couple of things to see en-route.

I live in San Diego but have to come up to Santa Barbara for work once a month. I had stayed at just about every hotel in the area until I found the Castillo Inn. Have stayed here every trip now and wont stay anywhere else. The GM (Dan) is a character! Love the guy! Always helpful and friendly. The... More

This is a nice small hotel and very close to the beaches and restaurants. Our bed was comfy and the room had quiet air con we slept peacefully with no disturbances. The easy parking close to room doors was a help. We found the pillows rather too firm for us with no choice of softer available. The lack of an... More

What a beautiful little hotel. Bed was wonderfully comfortable with nice bedding. The bathroom was better than ours at home and plush, long towels were provided. It was very quiet at night. I'm glad we chose the Castillo Inn.

It's a fairly small hotel right around the corner from the harbor. The rooms are nicely furnished, up-to-date and have plenty of space. It's nice being able to park right near the rooms, especially if you've got young kids or heavy luggage to haul, or are just ready to crash! The only drawback, really, is that it's in a bit... More
