Sand Castle Inn
Seaside|0.32km from Marshalls
I stayed in this hotel while working temp in San Diego for about a month in May/April. I would say this is a hidden gem and a very cute boutique hotel! I loved that there are only 13 rooms and it has the cutest patio that stays lit at night for comfort and safety (very aesthetic as well!). ALL of the staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. I think this would be the perfect stay for a solo traveler like myself, a couple or some friends. It could be a good fit for families as well, but it may be a bit louder then a family would want (traffic noise, multiple guests in one room and upstairs movement is fairly loud). I would not change much about this cute hotel. It is an older building, so you will hear movement from upstairs, if you are on the first floor. If you are a light sleeper, I would advise to stay on the second floor to take care of that. My room, and most, if not all, have a cute little kitchen that is stocked, so you can make any type of food! The unit was very clean and newly furnished! My bathroom was brand new and it was so cute and clean! Great tub for baths and relaxing. The location is amazing because it is right across the street from the ocean and a park. There are several, very nice bars and restaurants right on the same street too. The hotel has its own parking lot, as well as parking on the side streets. I would say this is a great selection for a short or long term stay for anyone looking to see Imperial Beach or surrounding areas! It is also pet friendly, with lots of areas to walk your doggies for potty. Special thanks to Dotti, the manager, for constant, exceptional customer service. And thanks to her amazing staff Kevin, Alba, Lily, Zahraa, Kino and Steven for all the hospitality and thoughtfulness during my long term stay! It really helped to have a solid, friendly staff during the stressful move I was making.
