I’ve stayed at the Castle in the Sand several times and although it’s an older hotel, it needs work. But most importantly, some of the employees did not make me feel safe or comfortable. While the people working, the front desk were very good, there were two employees in particular that I saw each day that we’re not nice or courteous. One in particular. Was actually scary. I tried to avoid her each day.
