Good for the Cost
Came with my 15 yr old son and his gf for a few nights. Very clean and comfortable. Could use some updating. Right on the beach. The area out front is a bit sketchy at night. Thought I read that they provided breakfast each morning but only found a basic coffee bar. Food in restaurant was ok.

First (and last) time staying at this hotel. Pros: Great view and location. Cons: worst bed in any hotel I have ever stayed at. Mattress was bouncy and springy. Every pillow was awful. I lucked into a parking spot but was told getting one isn't guaranteed. The AC blew hot air onto the porch so it had to be off if you are outside. Inside, I had it set to the lowest of 60 degrees and the room was still warm at all times which, along with the bed, added to no sleep. AC and other guests made it noisy. Shower was warm and had ZERO pressure. Elevator was unbearably slow. Most times I took the stairs to the 5th floor. Will be at a different place next year fo sho

The location is outstanding The staff was fantastic The property & room was Outdated! Broken jet tub. Room furniture was disgusting. Stains on the arms & cushions of couch. Small refrigerator Barley kept water cold much less anything else. Again I know I was paying for the location but come on… I paid a lot for mildew smelling 1990 decorated room. The garage is treacherous. I almost broke my ankle over a misaligned/broken storm drain cover on the 3rd floor parking. You can hardly get 1 car up the small ramp & you better hope no one else is trying to come down/out. We Had a great time on the beach but the room was nothing to write home about..

Nice Location & Nice rooms
I stayed at the hotel for a weekend getaway. The hotel was really nice and pretty much in the center of everything. The room was clean, spacious and up to date. There is a parking deck available, however, if you moved your car there was a good chance you wouldn’t be able to get a spot once you come back. I would definitely visit again.

A wonderful oceanfront hotel
We spent a long weekend at the Ocean Sands hotel to celebrate our anniversary. We had excellent communication from the hotel from booking through checkout. Daniel, at the front desk, was very helpful and friendly to us. All of the staff we interacted with were very nice. The hotel is older, which is evident, but its very clean and everything was in working order. The oceanfront room with balcony had amazing views. The location is very convenient to get everywhere. We would definitely stay there again.

I was placed in the wrong room. I booked a 1 bedroom 2 bath and was given a 1 bed 1 bath that had blood stains on the comforter, dirty carpet, dirty bathroom and a nasty stain behind the toilet. There is very limited parking. The manager and team didn’t place me into another room until 2 nights later (half my stay) and only offered to comp me one night. I had to initiate every conversation. Management never bothered to call. Never got the 1 bed 2 bath I booked. We didn’t get fresh linens until day 2. Housekeeping never came to clean room. Can’t find carts to load and unload baggage. Pool was nice. Convenient location. Just don’t expect good communication, clean environment/room or to find a parking space.

Management needs to stay in their own hotel
Our request to reschedule our stay was ignored making this one of the most expensive trips to the east Coast we have ever taken. This is a great location with the problems that come from that. The Fourth of July fireworks were great, but the management did not control their parking so the parking was overrun. When some kids that rented the room above us were over the top with noise and slamming doors, it took two days to get resolution. The elevators went out twice in our stay.
