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.

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!!

I have stayed at Sifting Sands during the MSBike ride for a decade. My family likes the stay there. The pool is great. It's close to the boardwalk. And it a great place to bed down while visiting Ocean City. The rooms are small, but they've always maximized bed space.
