Castillo Inn rooms are spacious, clean, and have a Spanish charm with modern amenities. I am a frequent visitor of Santa Barbara and have stayed at the Castillo Inn many years ago more than once. It had been a while since I had stayed here as I do like to try different properties, but after this time I will be back sooner than later. The location is perfect, parking is right in front of the rooms, property is well maintained and rooms are always clean. Castillo Inn is the best.

Our room was excellent. It was clean and a very large room. The front desk ckerk who checked us in was fabulous. Very happy and helpful. This young man made our day. I wish I knew his name. Please check who was working on Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 around 4:30pm to give him a thank you. He was also there when we checked out on Friday, Feb 13, 2026 11am and was just as friendly as he was on Wednesday.

Such an amazing stay. We were there for our ninth anniversary and this place made everything moment memorable. I will not give away our unit but we felt like the king and queen of the area. The room was well lit, clean, bed was comfy like home, the out space was spacious and awesome, the bathroom was nothing short of perfection with a wide mouth sink, filtered water!, and comfy shower/bathtub. The whole room was beautiful designed. The staff were welcoming, helpful and professional. This is my new place to stay when in SB. Thank you to the Castillo staff for everything and keep up the great work.
