My wife and I have been coming to Santa Barbara for over 30 years and always enjoyed our accommodations. this time however was way beyond our best expectations in every regard imaginable. Perfection personified! Sooooo clean, quiet, accessible to everything anyone could want and the appointments, accoutrements? were absolutely beautiful. very... VERY well done. the staff during our four-night stay was exemplary. Actually, both my wife and I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at the uniquely exceptional... Castillo Inn and verrrrrrrrrrry highly recommend it to one and all.

Extrapolate from the above and logically conclude that... "Leaving" would be apropos here.

I stayed just one night in transit therefore cannot say much about the location and additional ammenities, but the room was superb! Super clean, furnished in a practical and cosy way, with all ammenities and comfort needed. The bed was the best! The staff was going the extra mile and was super helpful - even though my flight was delayed and I arrived after check-in time, they patiently explained the procedure to me and made sure I got the key to the room and arrive safely. Highly recommend!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were late arriving and they called to check on us around 5:00pm and 9:00pm, and offered to make arrangements so we could still get our key if we showed up after hours. They also gave us a good recommendation to a local bakery for breakfast. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There was no noise from the street and we got a good night's sleep. The bathroom was also spacious with OK water pressure in the shower. We were able to park right outside our door which made loading & unloading our luggage easy. The marina is just a few minute's walk, and there is a beautiful beach just a short ways after that. We were in town for a UCSB campus visit so we did not visit the beach, but I can see the location is great for those who are. Likewise the Santa Barbara downtown area is just a short drive away, so the location overall is excellent.

One set of ceiling lights kept blinking or wavering, about once a minute. Fortunately they were on a separate switch so we could just turn those off and still keep the room illuminated. We paid extra for a patio room but it's not worth it. We expected a sort of sunny, outdoorsy space looking out at landscaping or maybe a pool. Instead it's just concrete with a high wood fence around it, since the parking lot is on the other side of the fence. Not really a pleasant space to go sit in.

Big comfy bed, pillows were nice too, not so big you sleep sitting up like many hotels. The facility is a motel one story with no upstairs hotel guests & your car is right nearby. I didn’t hear the neighbors next-door either. They let me check in early. Super easy check in process. Plenty of towels and a mini coffee maker and fridge in the king room. The patio is really nice and the location near the beach And included parking are an added bonus. The heat worked great in January. Great for a short business trip.

The carpets look kind of old and gross. Which is literally the only thing I could pick on.

The location, being right by a park and away from the hubbub, was quiet, the room was a great size and the bed + bedsheets + pillows were very comfortable. The decor was pretty with nice updates while keeping period details. Castillo Inn nailed it on the most important things for a hotel: cleanliness and providing a good night's rest. The overhead climate control system is nice and quiet. I also like that it's right by the water.

The TV mount is too lightweight for the television, and so the TV constantly tilts down. I had to insert a plastic spoon into the mount to keep it from tilting. It was a Samsung TV but the internet connection was really bad so streaming was very poor quality and sometimes failed completely. Being over a mile's walk from downtown and a decent walk from the wharf meant it was a little inconvenient. So the tradeoff for quiet is extra walking/bicycling/driving. I would normally have rented a bicycle but the circumstances of my particular trip made it impractical. The cons definitely do not outweigh the pros and even though there are more words in the "cons" section I enjoyed my stay.

Location was great. Room was good sized. Shower had excellent water pressure. Lots of light but good blackout shades. Staff was extremely responsive and helpful.

TV had wonky connection - very pixellated and lots of interruptions (and we are PJ movie people at night, so this was a bummer). Staff tried hard to fix it, but problem persisted. The hotel was tiny but the room was a good size. A/C was mounted to blow right in your face in the bed :( Hated that. Bed was comfy, but pillows were extremely soft/lumpy and no firmer pillows available. Staff tried, though!

The Office Management(Jose Makes You Feel Like You're AT HOME) and Associates(Sebastian...Insightful, Cordial and Engaging) Were SUPERB. Outstanding LOCATION if You prefer the Oceanic Side of Santa Barbara. The Suite we resided in was VERY Roomy, Delightful and Comfortable. Beds were EXTREMELY Comfortable. Also, VERY Quiet Location and Ample Parking. Walking Distance to The Harbor, Beach or Wharf(Very Ideal) as Well as a Relaxing Park Facility directly across the Street.

Not having a Microwave, BUT There were Great Restaurants within Walking or Driving Distances. Unexpected Flooding deluge the Area in the Early Morning Hours causing Limited Access(In or Out) But Staff immediately responded with Sandbags, etc

Location: The Hotel is near the beach but has no beach view. Great location to have an evening walk and dinner at a restaurant on a beach. Room: Is very clean. It was a very pleasant experience. Parking: First come - first serve, but we didn't have any issues on that day.

The overall impressions regarding the stay were great. The only thing was that we were traveling with the toddler and he managed to close himself in some of the rooms (master bedroom, bathroom). These doors had a lock and we wanted to have keys from these locks. Unfortunately, the receptionists were not able to help us with that. I think it would've been useful to have an opportunity to have keys (per request) from the bathroom and bedroom.

Lovely motel with very helpful friendly staff. The room was comfortable and very clean. We were assigned to a different room than they planned as they were cleaning the first one. Beds comfy. The motel is 1 minute to the beautiful beach and 5 mins to the pier. 10 mins to all the lovely restaurants and shops of Gorgeous Santa Barbara.

N/a

Room was clean and was a quiet place very close to the beach and ocean. Lots of restaurants nearby and shopping areas.

There was a picture on the wall that was crooked and my OCD kicked but it was secured to the wall so I couldn't straighten it! Seriously if I had asked the staff would have fixed it right away.
