Staff were satisfactory, the pool was okay, short walk to DL - no real complaints. I did find that sound control from other rooms and outside was not the best. Also at that time the rooms were about due for a refurb, don't know if they have done that since 2001. Overall, it was okay, no issues but there are other places I would rather stay at now.

Originally Posted By Tink60 We also stayed at the Castle Inn about 18 months ago. I had read some less than encouraging reviews on this hotel. This is what I found. It is older and really needs a lot of time and money put into it. But it was clean and the staff was efficient and friendly. We had a suite (there were six of us) and it was a nice size. One day the elevator broke down but they fixed it the same day. If you got the room for a good deal keep the reservations. It should be fine.
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl We stayed there several years ago. I don't really remember it well, so it must not have been horrible. That, I would remember! We are staying in a regular room for 4. We got a good deal, it's close, a place to sleep and shower. We spend all of our time at the parks. But, I'll post when I get a chance. Not sure we are taking the computer and will be going on a 7 day cruise right after our stay.

Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife My girls and I had a girls-only trip back in 2001. It was definitely adequate for sleeping and showering since we were focused on DL and then new DCA. At the end of the day, the walk seemed longer and longer but really it is very doable. The room needed some refurbishing, but was clean. I never walk on hotel carpet even if it has just been installed. My own personal phobia. I think you will enjoy your stay especially if you spend most of your time in the parks. When one survives cancer, any ache or pain should be checked out. I think she is in good hands. I will keep Snowwhite in prayers and you and the docs as well. I hope she is feeling better soon.

It is very personal (not my health) and I have trouble talking about it. We are so looking forward to seeing you again and hope this trip will be good for our spirits.

Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE hi there....do you know the room # that was not good, so i ask not to have that room...or others that have issues.. did you have a room facing the fireworks.. most importantly did you have a great time, hope so...thanks hugs from The Tink-mobile oooooooo : ).
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl Sorry to take so long to get back, but we just got home from a cruise last night. We were in room 323, I think. They moved us up to the 4th floor. I didn't see any rooms facing the fire works. If you are already locked in to a room, I'd say that you will be fine. We probably will not choose to stay there again, lots of other places along Harbor Blvd. in the same price range.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE This hotel came with the flight package, others were all booked, then they showed up again, but west jet was having a hard time with their reservations and we were stuck here, or I was ...the whole thing incl transfers from the airport was 817 canadian for 8 nights..really wanted hojos though...hope it is nice...not sure what room i will have..asked for 4th floor away from elevators not sure what is best... Thanks for your help...
