    clean room
    friendly staff
    great pool
    ant issue

    Had an awesome time with friends! We visited the aquarium and explored Cannery Row. The room was clean, and the pool was a great way to relax after our adventures. Be aware that breakfast area can get crowded. Overall, a cool spot to chill with friends!

    The only downside was that there were ants in the bathroom, which was a bit off-putting during our stay.

    clean room
    hardwood floors
    thin walls

    Cute little spot! The room was clean and cozy, and the hardwood floors were a nice touch. Conveniently located, it was easy to pop around to nearby attractions.

    However, the walls are as thin as my patience on a bad day—kids running around made it hard to snooze. Who knew a queen bed could feel so… cramped?

    I was impressed by how clean and well-kept the property was, especially the lovely indoor pool area. It felt very safe and accessible for seniors, with clear paths and helpful staff ready to assist.

    Additional handrails would improve bathroom safety.

    The minimalist design in the Queen Room suited my taste, especially the hardwood floors. The pool provided a refreshing escape after a day of exploring.

    The overall experience lacked luxurious touches.

    comfortable bed
    heated indoor pool

    The room was nice and clean, with a comfy bed and a mini-fridge that made my stay hassle-free. I loved unwinding by the heated indoor pool and soaking in the sun loungers after a long day. Just a heads up, the bright lights outside the room could make it tough to sleep, so bring a sleep mask! 😊

    I had a great experience at El Castell Motel during my recent business trip. The room was clean, modern, and spacious, with ample lighting and a comfortable workspace that facilitated my needs. The Wi-Fi was reliable, which was essential for completing my tasks. Additionally, the indoor heated pool provided a nice relaxation area after a long day.

    spacious room
    heated pool
    jet noise
    shower issue
    uncomfortable bed

    The room was spacious and clean, and having both a microwave and a large mini fridge made it convenient for snacks. The heated pool was a highlight, providing a comfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the hotel was near the airport, leading to disruptive jet noise, and the shower had a frustrating trickle of water. Despite its decent price and good location for attractions, the overall experience was less than ideal.
