I travel a lot for business. So, I stay in a lot of hotels. Normally, I do not do reviews; unless my stay is extraordinary. So, this is the reason I am compelled to inform other business and/or leisure travelers about this ‘hidden gem’. I stayed in one of the Sand Castle Inn’s apartment suites (garden view) over the Holidays. And I HAVE to say it was one of the most pleasurable stays that I can remember. This is not just a nice hotel by the ocean; it is a mini-resort. I say this because of the exceptional, personalized service that the managers and the entire staff provide. It is the quietest place that I have ever stayed in. It is located in the beautiful, quaint, and laid-back southern California beach town of Imperial Beach. Located right across the street from the Pacific ocean. All you hear all day is the waves crashing on the beach. And their sound is loud enough, to reach the beach, across the street, past the front building, back into the garden area, and through the windows. And the grounds are VERY quiet. The rooms and kitchen were well-stocked with everything I needed; and then some. So, some thought went into supplying the rooms and kitchen with plenty of wares. And everything worked fine. Also, the cost is very reasonable. Especially due to the high-quality, resort-type accommodations, (VERY nice interior), and location. I can go on an on about positive things regarding this little gem; but you should experience it yourselves. I HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Ceiling fan Comfy bed Fridge/freezer, microwave in room Water filling station inside the lobby Friendly staff Easy keyless entry Parking right outside room door Nice sitting area in between buildings So very close to beach, right across street. There was a public outdoor workout area across street Short walking distance to restaurants

The location was amazing it was so peaceful there. The room was a little small and we could hear our neighbors but it was still comfortable and cozy. This is a hidden jem of a hotel everything was perfect even the annoying stuff I mentioned. It was just absolutely beautiful there. And we love we could have our fur children!

Bianca

We liked the staff and the manager, who were extremely helpful in our stay in our questions. The location was near the ocean (Imperial Beach). Walking distance to the the beach and excellent places to eat at. The night was quiet. We enjoyed our stay, we would do it again.

Rita

Ideal location, directly across the street from the beach⛱️ . Close to restaurants & pubs. The suite we stayed in was comfortable & had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Quick drive to Coronado or North Island by taking the Silver Strand.
