Clean Safe and very Comfy!

very comfortable bed & clean room. the staff was very friendly and accommodating as I arrived before check-in time, but badly needed a nap! So they let me check-in early. So nice to have found a clean, comfy & affordable place to stay in an otherwise expensive area.

Sand Castle Inn

Had to easy time checking in there was ample parking. We found the room to be average probably for what we paid for it. It. My wife pulled out a stand that she dropped something behind, and there was dirt and bugs behind it with that being said, I would say that it smelt clean and the bed was comfortable.
