Greatest disappointment was the loss of potential... great location, not much competition.... needs a thorough ceiling to floor scrubbing, weeding out of all not-nice nonessentials including furniture, rugs and personal type items (partially used toiletries, food, which is just tip of items laying around), and a restaging.

If you don't care about designer furniture or fancy interior design, this is the place for you. It is clean if a little bit worn. Perfect for me. Market Street is a couple blocks away. I will definitely stay here again. Mario was very accomodating. Keep up the good work.

Castillo Inn is comfortable - nothing glamorous! it is in a fantastic location and Mario is a very welcoming host who tries to make you fell at home. Shared facilities and I was lucky when I was there that the other guys that were stayoing were really cool as well. I am sure there are other more glamorous places around... More

The guesthouse was fully equipted with all the comforts of home. I had full access to the complete kitchen and they both were... More
