My family and I were looking for lodge on memorial day weekend- and were happy to find something two short blocks from the Seaside Boardwalk and a fair price (considering the time). It's basically a remodoled home. Clean, I guess (but arent they supposed to be?) - but so small you can't breathe and time and time again the owners would warn that "if we didnt like noise, we came the wrong weekend". I just didn't appreciate the way we were treated, almost as if they were doing us a favor. Maybe they're nice to locals, but it was a bad experience all together. Would never stay there again.

I booked this place with not much research because it was a last minute get away. Big mistake! (should have known because they didnt even have a portable crib for our 10month old) We got to our room and there was no toilet paper (not even the empty roll) so I go down to the office (cause there's no phone in the room) and the staff do not even apologize. I return and then notice there's no wash cloths or hand towels. The floor didn't look vacuumed and the bed made my husband's and my body hurt so bad that we would have probably had a better night sleeping in our car! The second day we come back to the room, they didnt take our towels off the floor, didnt give us back the same number of towels (one wash cloth and towel) and the same dirt and debris was on the floor so obviously they didnt vacuum! and to add, the wifi didn't work!

We were supposed to stay 3 nights but the second night there was such a rediculous party with screaming girls, marijuana and underage drinking, that my husband went out to tell them to be quiet and go to the office to complain. After hours of the cameras watching, nothing was done until my husband went down. That is finally when the 6 police cars and ambulance showed and were there for an hour and a half! Then when they were gone the party started again and nothing else was done (probably why there's no phones in the room) I went out to yell at them too...what happened to security?

I complained and tol them i would not be staying another night endangering my son with pot smoke. We went right across the street. They had MUCH better accommodations! Better pool, kiddie pool, sand box, game room, free breakfast, portable cribs, comfy beds, in room phones, a vacuumed floor, etc.....stay at this motel, not the Sands motel!!!!!!!

Stayed here last year labor day and came back this year. Hotel is under new management and it is TERRIBLE. We checked in to our room... hair in drain, wet towels from previous guest and stained old sheets. We complained and were moved for the night and told we would have to move back to the original room the next night. Rechecked in the following day and the room was still never cleaned from the previous guest. We complained and said we would like a refund. Was told that the best they could do was credit half our stay and would clean the room. There is no cleaning crew except a bunch of kids who take out the trash and vacuum. Completely unsanitary and a party motel. Guests were all partying and using drugs in the common areas throughout the night. Felt unsafe and uncomfortable the entire time. DO NOT STAY HERE! This place should be put out of business. New management is a complete disgrace.

I loved my stay at sands motel . The staff I talked to was very polite and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. I can't wait to come back and stay there again. It was a great time spent with my family. The manager, Kevin, made sure that everything was in order as he checked us in and told us if we had any problems at all that we could let him know and he would take care of it. It was my sons birthday on the second night we spent there and the manager even brought a cake to help us celebrate the right way. I couldn't believe the hospitality. Our whole family was very pleased with everything.
