Castillo Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location and nice to have off street parking. Nice staff and large rooms. Surprisingly quiet! I would have given 5 stars, but ww walked into the room and it was 85 degrees. Not sure why the AC wasn't on a timer and came on prior to check-in. I hope they don't make their housekeeping staff work in the heat. Thankfully we had dinner reservations and left for a while. The room was still warm and eventually cooled off. Recommend turning AC on during the summer for guests checking in."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant stay with excellent breakfast."
