This was our first time staying at the castle inn. We live close by, so we’ve stayed at many hotels on the central coast. This one was great quality for the cost. It was also pet friendly, so a welcome bonus since we brought our dog. Recently renovated, impeccably clean and nice breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.

Room next to us was overstuffed w people for some kind of women's meetup. Early evening it was clearly ramping up and when I talked to the manager around 8:45, he suggested calling back before 10 if it was still loud. Called back about 9:50 but oddly enough, no one answered. They partied all night, and even w earplugs, I couldn't really sleep. I get that people go to hotels to have fun, but, they also go there to sleep. A quick reminder conversation w them from the manager would have gone a long ways. The grounds seemed nice enough. Easy access to Moonstone Beach. Would suggest to someone looking for a place to stay they check other options.

Love the Castle Inn

The location is the best! We love staying here for the beautiful view, inviting fire pit and swimming pool and spa. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They have a small breakfast area that is clean and restocked during breakfast time. They have EV charging stations too.
