I'll be checking in there tomorrow, so I can let you know about the restaurant. Since it's my first visit I'm not in a position to tell you if anything has changed, but if there are more specifics you'd like to know about, let me know and I'll find out for you! |

Well you have the answer from Nishnawturner - no restaurant. The bar is open if you want a quiet drink - personally I prefer places with a little more going on, like SL or HLH for example! Both are a very comfortable walk from the Castillo and with the exception of a few streetwalkers close to HLH the streets have been virtually deserted the past two nights. |

The asian place they had there wasn't bad. I agree with you on that back bar, it's cool when you just want to relax and have a beer. |

I heard chisme about this 6 years ago when I used to stay at the Castillo. It's a great place, but I think the dueno sees the handwriting on the wall. I hope Darren and his crew find a new home. |

I believe the Hotel has been 4sale for sometime. The restaurant was about to open by a Asian dude when I was last there but I guess it was short lived. Room #11 was my fav stay. |

That Asian dude did in fact open, and the food was great, however, apparently the fare was not to the liking of the area taste buds. |

Darren and the rest of the staff are the best part of the Castillo. The hotel could use a lot of repairs and upgrades that the current owner was too cheap or unable to complete. Hopefully, the new owner will retain the current staff and fix the place up a bit (and without raising the rates too much). |
