El Castell Motel

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This budget property was great! Easy check in and check out via website then text. Very clean rooms. Property was well maintained. Pool was awesome to play around with the kiddo in but bring towels from the room or your own. Vending machine for drinks is right with it. There is a Dennys and a gas station (convenience store) in front of the hotel. Office staff were always responsive and helpful via chat, making it extremely easy. Room has a shower/tub. Large closet and lots of drawer space. Microwave, mini fridge and mini freezer in room which is really helpful! Comfortable beds. Air and heat worked well. Just a short 7-10 minute drive to the aquarium. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!"
