Vacanze Castroville

Excellent establishment. Lovely property and gift shop was cute.

The room was clean and comfortable, but I was going to get a bottled water, until I saw there was a charge to have a water bottle. It came off as really tacky, because if you were a diamond or whatever type of Hilton member you got a measly bottle of water, for being a "loyal" customer. When we checked in, Expedia helped me out immensely, we were running very late and one of your employees was able to help me out and told me Jonathan would know I was coming in late. When I came through, I said, "Hi Jonathan!" he looked so scared, maybe that was creepy. Anyways, he came off a little rude, never told me the whole spill, what time was check out, what time was breakfast, when it ended, but was sure to tell me about the charge of parking (which is also tacky, because of the surrounding area, I think it is a little backwards, I would understand if we were in a nicer area). When I checked out this morning, the lady was very nice and kind, so that was awesome!

The look of the hotel is very unique. If you like an old fashion feel it's the hotel for you. Clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the windows are as old fashioned as the look of the hotel so being so close to the Riverwalk it can get quite noisy at night. We used the laundry which unfortunately does not accept foreign credit cards. Without the staff help we wouldn't have been able to do the washing.
