10/10 Excellent
"It was a very pleasant stay. The motel is centrally located. It was 6 min to the Wharf, Cannary Row, restaurants, a catholic church, the Aquarium..if you have a big family and then you will love this… Denny ‘s is a 1/2 block away. Rooms were very big. The only down side was the bathroom. Tub was very slippery, and the curtain did not close all the way. So the first time the water was all over the floor. But we always come prepared. Used a binder clip at the top to hold curtain closed. No more leaks. We would definitely stay here again. The room we had was very large and great view if the Ocean. Loved this place"

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We were extremely impressed with how immaculate everything was at El Castell Hotel! The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfortable, the AC worked great, and even the pool area was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Our only complaint was the noise due to thin walls and windows. We had extremely inconsiderate guests stomping and yelling throughout the night. Thankfully, the wonderful staff was incredibly accommodating and moved us to another room. Although we could still hear traffic, it was much more peaceful. We truly appreciated their kindness and willingness to make our stay more comfortable. The cleanliness and excellent customer service really stood out!"
