I reserved room #14 @ Castillo has anyone stayed in this room?

I dont think I have stayed in # 14 but im sure i have stayed next to it or above before. Only thing that to me seems to be a minor problem on any level of the hotel is the clicking of heels when the girls are coming and going early morning. I think that is pretty much the same at all hotels in SJ. LOL. If you are on the first floor you might get a little partying at the Ranch Bar out back but it shuts down early. Other than those two things you can't really make a bad choice on any of the rooms at Castillo considering the great prices for CRT membas! Darren will make you feel right at home. Martha is the greatest!


25 + 25 = 50

50 done said it all

I love the rooms at the top of the old section (14 & 15?). One of those gets a little hot during the daytime, but there is a window A/C unit to keep things cool. I'm on the Castillo bandwagon with "50"...

Sounds good to me. I got upgraded to rm #8. I think I made the right choice. Ill be sure to roll by SL and Dunn just to check it out. I have a feeling ill be back soon and thats before ive even been there! well see.

Room #8 is nice... it has a small alcove overlooking the gardens of the restaurant, and has excellent wi-fi reception. It's over the billiards room which is a distraction to some.

yeah I agree about the 2 rooms at the top...if you can get one of them , you will be glad you did ....very cool !!!old school and have had good luck with the girls I have had in that room....got it for 50 a night (uscash) The other rooms I have stayed in there ....I didnt really care for !!!

Thanks for the heads up on the pool tables.

Room # 23 was nice because there was a microwave, a small toaster oven, and a sink to wash da dishes!
A refrigerator.
Overlooking da Zoo!

I stayed in room#5 one night and bathroom shower stopped up, one of the beds mattress was completley worn out and the key safe was on the floor in the corner. You had to get on all fours to open your safe. So I checked out the next morning. But the place had a nice ambiance to it. Kind of a realxing atmosphere ot it. When I checked out the lady told me that she had to give me that room cause it was only one left. So this may be the room to avoid at the castillo.

I stayed in room sex, I mean six. Basic, but comfortable, it suited me more than the SL, which was great. It had a small semi-enclosed porch which had a decent view of the city.

Speaking of, I should probably make a reservation pretty soon....

I can't remember which room I stayed in when I stayed there years ago...I just wish I had picked up the skilled masseuse that we all know well, who used to work the "front" of the bar at Castillo...Also, you gotta try the BBQ ribs/chicken/etc there on Sunday at 1 p.m.

I have stayed in almost every room at the Castillo as it is my home away from home. I do agree though I did like room #4 for a short stay, but for a longer stay like I have been doing lately I prefer one of the deluxe rooms with a kitchen.

I stayed at the Castillo once and it was fine. I had room 4, and as reported the bed moves around easily. I thought the shower was a bit small especially if you wanted to shower with the girl. During my stay it seemed the hotel cat liked room 4 or maybe me as it snuck in the room and was there overnight till it came out the next morning. I like animals so I didn't care but felt bad as the thing had no access to water.

From what I can tell the keys are all attached to large pieces of wood which are a pia to carry around IMO.

Would stay there again if my favorite place is unavailable.
