This hotel is right on the ocean as is their bar. It's not a quiet hotel as the other side faces the main road into the beach. There are 4-5 restaurants/bars within walking distance, which is very convenient.

Second time staying here. Enjoyed both times. First time I brought my 89 yo mother so she could enjoy the ocean. She has a walker & I was able to set her up on the patio/bar area. She loved it!

The only good thing was that fact the beach was a hop skip and a jump away. The hotel had fruit flys all over the place. We went to stop and shop to get a fruit fly repellent and it did not work. We had zero WiFi, normally we bring a Roku device when we go on vacation for the night time and we could not set it up due to zero internet. I spent $120.00 on data for my phone just to be able to watch our Roku. There was no microwave as well. I am highly upset at the price we paid for the terrible service. The hotel definitely needs an upgrade and better service. When asking one of the questions employees about the internet issue , they told me to go to office and connect and maybe it would follow me to my room. That to me is just crazy, for the price we paid we should have had internet and no flys all over are room.

The Sandy Shore Motel was old, but clean and maintained. We checked out, though, after three hours and went to a place up the beach because there is an outside bar at the motel and they were playing music loud enough that it muted the sound of the waves. We didn't want to hear Taylor Swift (no offense Tay Tay - we love you) we wanted to hear the ocean. And we couldn't have our window open without hearing the bar music - which - we were told - stayed open to 1 am. Also, the motel is horseshoe shaped and our room faced a bank of port-a-potties that were there for bar patrons. So, if you want to day drink and don't mind looking at port-a-potties - this place will suit you. If you want to hear the ocean and have kids who need to go to bed early, you may want to look elsewhere.

Staff was friendly and customer service oriented. The room I booked I was not given because cable was not available in that room. I was given another room with an ocean view from my front window. It was a side window view. She said that was considered an upgrade. I don’t believe so, but whatever.

This is not a luxury hotel. But it doesn't need to be. If you want a reasonably priced, comfortable, spacious accommodation with the Atlantic Ocean right outside your bedroom window gently lulling you to sleep every night, there really isn't a better place. Friendly, gregarious staff is always a pleasure as well.

The room provided had no amenities. The heat only worked on one side, and the bathroom lights were not working. The bed was of low quality. It is not worth the price of 175.00 per night with one widow ocean view. Another guest attempted to get a cigarette as we went to the room. No coffee maker, micro, or fridge. Did not stay but was refunded for one night of the two booked.
