Top Big Sur Hotel Reviews

Sand Castle Inn

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent
"My stay was great! I’m someone who really cares about cleanliness and Sand Castle Inn did a great job. My only concern was the shower and I sadly didn’t bring it to the hotel’s attention. I believe the drain was clogged. Other than that it was great. Staff was super helpful and replaced my towels daily. Thanks!"
