Im only comparing it to the Sportsmans Lodge down the road. Where for 10 dollars more you can have a nice looking room.
I receive 3 discounts off the published rate when I stay at the Castillo. I stay 7 nights, pay with cash, and am a CRT member. For a standard room that comes to $34 a night including tax. That's $238 for a week.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the SL standard room is $55 with a 10% discount for CRT members. Add in the tax and that comes to $57.42 a night. For a week we're looking at $401.94 or a difference of $164.94 for 7 nights, $23.56 daily.

I would gladly pay the 164.94 difference for the quality of room, service, convenience and atmosphere of SL. I would never recommend Castillo and would never again stay there. The last night of my trip in ZB suite, I brought back a colombiana to my suite, she asked me why ZB. I told her that I stayed 4 days at Castillo and didnt like it, so I decided to switch. She says to me "Oh no, not Castillo, that place "es muy fello!" She asked me if I found it on the internet, I said yes. She said she was sorry about that and hoped that it didnt change my mind of Costa Rica. I told her that I had a great time in C.R. no matter what.
to Costa Rica. You haven't learned yet that 99.78754% of all hookers will tell you

Or maybe that Colombiana was spoiled by going to the nicer hotels and suites with the high-rollers and she did consider the Castillo "sub-par," and considers the gringos that stay at cheaper hotels budget travelers. Let's not take it personally every time someone disagrees with our opinion on something or jump on those for having a diifferent review/opinion. For instance my experience at the Morazan was disgusting- to sum it up with one word and I'll never book at that dump again 
but some guys love the place, looks like Jmoon noticed some bad things about his room at the Castillo and prefers more upscale lodging, ymmv. 
It's just one person's opinion....
