“Castillo Inn At The Beach has a wonderful Spanish architectural feel and a quaint spirit, as I envision it, enhanced by its exceptional location a short walk from the wharf and State Street shops. The strict noise policy ensures a peaceful stay, and the staff seems genuinely accommodating; it's a great value for the location. I think it's a particularly fine choice for anyone wanting to be close to Santa Barbara's main attractions.”
