Pacifica Hotel Company Completes $1 million Renovation
of The Sandcastle Inn, Pismo Beach, CA

Pismo Beach, California - May 14, 2002 - The Sandcastle Inn, located on the beach adjacent to the Pismo Pier at 100 Stimson Avenue, has experienced a $1 million property renovation just in time for the busy summer visitor season. The Inn opened in 1985 with 60 guest rooms and suites; an additional 15 units were added in 1999. The upgrades are focussed on the original rooms, public spaces and exteriors according to Dale Marquis, Chairman of Pacifica Hotel Company, the property's owner. 
 
The renovation project is under the direction of designer Susan Caruso of Intra-Spec Hospitality Design, Inc., in Los Angeles. "In keeping with the Sandcastle's outstanding oceanfront location, a romantic beach cottage theme with nautical influences was chosen," stated Caruso.
