I booked the Sand Box Motel for three nights. When checking in, the front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. We had a room on the second floor, when walking into the room for the first time there was an odd odor, and the connecting door to the room next to us did not close fully. This was due to the foam they poorly stuffed and taped in between the two doors. We suspect that the odor came from the foam or the carpet. Motels, especially pet friendly ones should not have carpet. We could clearly hear everything that the people in the other room were saying. However since we were only staying for three nights we didn't ask to change rooms, plus you get what you pay for ($70 per night is pretty cheap). The room came with a nice mini fridge and microwave. Also had a working air conditioner. When the maids cleaned the room daily, they did not change the sheets. Not really sure what they were coming into "clean", only thing the maid did was take the garbage. For an area with so many other motels. I would probably stay somewhere else next time. I previously stayed at the Aztec Motel which was around the same price, closer to the beach, and much cleaner.
