Right on the beach and boardwalk. Oceanfront room has 180 degrees of ocean view. Clean room and hallway. Friendly and helpful staff. Fluffy towels but small dated bathroom.

Understandably there was construction but it didn’t affect our stay. Mattresses are awful, pillows are worse. But, the view was wonderful (which is why we go) and the room was affordable. We’ve stayed here several times and will gladly return.

We loved the location which has boardwalk and beach access. It is close to shopping and many restaurants. The hotel is old, but the room was acceptable because the location is so good. We had good service during our stay. We would stay here again.

They were doing construction on the hotel. I did not know about that or I wouldn’t have stayed there but they were redoing all the carpets in there. They were redoing the rooms it seems and they were doing the outside so it’s the renovating which means the hotels is gonna be nice, now you know I didn’t like being there during that time so that’s OK

Having an oceanfront room here is worth the price. The Sands is close to everything. The rooms are dated but clean. The wifi is not very good. I wouldnt stay here if I needed good wifi for work but it was fine for our needs. The staff is friendly.

I like the location of this property. However, I used my points to get the room and I feel that because I didn’t pay directly they gave me the worst room. The bathroom sink is clogged and I mean disgusting. It was something growing on the wall by the toilet tank again disgusting. The room was just very old and had not been updated. My friend stayed in the same hotel on the fourth floor and the room was perfect. Just because I use my points does it mean that I should be given the worst room. I stayed in room 121 and had one hour to get in and get out to my event and by the time I got back the front desk staff was gone . I am grateful for the points that I’ve earned. I am glad I was able to use them but I don’t think I would stay here again and just because people use a third-party like EXPEDIA they should be given the same treatment.

I do apologize for any inconvenience that may have occurred. If you were not satisfied with your room or location you should have requested to see another room if available. We do not know how you paid when booking a reservation on Expedia. Our desk is covered 24 hours a day.
