Not enough parking, Had to park a block and a half away. Internet did not work. Room was not as nice as those pictured, had basic necessities only. No decor. Staff was very nice. Price was fair.

Great stay, convenient, and check in was easy. Only issue was parking. Even though there were vacancies there was not enough parking. On our second night there was an oversized pickup truck blocking the entrance and again parking overnight was an issue as well.

This is your typical, older, old-school shore "mom and pop" shore motel. Although the room was dated, everything was clean, in good repair, and comfortable. We had a small two-room unit, with a queen bed in its own (small) room and a queen bed in the main area, which also had a small kitchenette with a two-burner stove, coffee maker, etc. Absolutely nothing for us to complain about as the amenities matched our expectations for the price. Convenient location a few blocks from the boardwalk and a few blocks from lots of restaurants and shopping options. We'd stay there again.

Although the property is older - an OC classic - it is very clean and well-fitted for having a meal in room. I felt very welcomed and comfortable there.

This is my first and LAST stay at Sifting Sands Motel... For the room itself,it was quaint but comfortable enough for ONE overnight stay. However,being charged a NON REFUNDABLE ($75+tax) PET FEE is absolutely RIDICULOUS!! I could understand IF it were a PRECAUTIONARY DEPOSIT. At most MAJOR MOTEL/HOTELS here in Ocean City,NJ, that fee would be refunded within 24-48 hours,providing there were NO (pet related) DAMAGES. I only booked here to be near friends. NEVER AGAIN!!
