We booked for two adults, the room meant for 4. It was cute. The bed was in a room by itself. Upon entering, you step into a space with a sofa, coffee table, fridge, kitchenette with real coffee pot, microwave and a toaster oven! It was super clean. The front desk, Phyllis, helped us checking. It was a last minute booking because our other hotel had a plumbing problem and could not let us stay there. This place had a pool but it was closed at this time of the year. The bathroom was a real tub, shower. It kinda felt really comfortable. Fell asleep immediately. Bed was comfy. They were generous with towels, unlike some Airbnbs I've been to. It was a great location too. About 5 minutes walk to the boardwalk. We plan on returning. The only bad thing was the wall near our bed looked like it was crumbling and need a fresh spackle job. The bedsheets were crisp white cotton. No complaints. Quiet. Clean. Friendly.

The bedroom wall needs attention.

The room I stayed in was nicely decorated, very clean, and comfy. There were plenty of kitchen supplies, plenty of towels, and good black-out shades to keep out the early morning sun. The AC unit was loud but thankfully very cool, plus there were two ceiling fans to keep the air circulating. All in all a great room and I'd book it again. Phyllis at check-in was super friendly and helpful, too.

The mattress was rock hard but at least the bedding was comfortable. The toilet was so close to the wall that it was impossible to sit straight on it! Toaster lever/button was broken so I had to get creative to try to push it down to toast my bagels. These things aren't deal breakers, though.

Everything felt clean and freshly renovated with a delightful nautical beach house aesthetic that made me feel like I was staying in a shore town. Check in and check out were so fast and convenient and the staff were so helpful and nice. Having a free parking spot in a place like Ocean City AND a free beach pass was an absolute necessity that the hotel provided.

There are some spots that make parking a little difficult since the lot is small. The pool was usually crowded so I didn't find time to go in during peak hours, but night swimming is always an option since it's open til 9pm. The shower was great and I loved the removable shower head, but mine was always facing the door which didn't close all the way, so whenever I got out of the shower, my bathroom floor was soaked.

TBH, I didn't expect much more than a worn old motel from the 60s and that it might be less than clean. Ours was a last-minute decision for a one-nighter before summer's end, so I was happy to find ANYTHING at all this close to the beach. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! Our room was pristine--freshly painted, clean as a whistle and super comfortable. Granted, it's old, and if you're looking for something to be meh, you could find it. We slept great, and my pillow was probably the most comfortable one I've had in a motel (or hotel) in a long time. The folks at the front desk were incredibly helpful and accommodating. All in all, it was a great experience at a budget price.

The shower was too small. I've been in bigger showers in campers. But it was clean! Not that I didn't like this, but we learned from a guy in the pool that the property isn't a traditional motel anymore, but a bunch of individually owned rooms and suites. I suspected this, because the decor in our room felt more like a person decorated their beach house. And there were only curtain toppers and venetian blinds.

Great value! Excellent location, nice pool, very clean, and convenience of a kitchen. I took my 6 year old godson with me for 3 days and 2 nights and Sifting Sands had everything we needed. Beach, boardwalk, and water park are only 2 blocks away so we didn't have to drive at all. It's nothing fancy but it's very clean and affordable. I'm planning on returning next summer!

The only thing I didn't like was the shower in the bathroom. It was clean but somewhat dark and dingy. Would have preferred a shower with a tub.

As soon as we arrived, the staff was very accommodating. They gave us our beach tags early and allowed us to check into the room earlier than we were supposed to. They gave us tips on where to go on the beach So it was less crowded than the main area and what places to eat at. They went above and beyond to make our stay excellent one. I usually don’t have high expectations for motel, but when I walked into Our room and saw how beautiful it was I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was completely updated.

Booking was very easy. Staff was happy to see me. My room was cozy and the first time I had to turn on the heat. I will be staying here again in 2025.

WIFI was not the best in this room but not always the case in other rooms which isn't a problem. Parking can be tight but stay between the lines and there is no problem.

Well maintained, clean, convenient, accommodating. Perfect sized unit for our family. Comfortable beds, even the pull outs. Great location to beach and boardwalk. Showers were nice and hot!

The only thing I could possibly complain about is that the AC in our unit was incredibly loud. We had to run it because it was so humid. And it woke me up from deep sleep every single time it came on. Made for a bit of an exhausting trip.

Staff was super helpful and kind. Location is unbeatable. We loved having access to the kitchenette and the generously sized fridge. Pool was very pleasant and enjoyable and the other guests were quite friendly too. Beach badges and parking included. between the room that slept 4 of us, the pool, awesome location, parking, badges and savings on food this was a great value. The kids used the pool for at least 2 hours a day and had a great time.

It’s pretty run down. Don’t expect the Plaza, it’s a funky old beach motel. The floors were pretty dirty. Genuinely had a comfortable stay regardless. If you need fancy fluffy towels and room service, this ain’t it.

Liked the cleanliness and care of property. Only limited by age of property and design of room. There was no room for a closet (so no ability to hang clothes). Like that it was manufactured wood flooring because we were able to take our dog. We asked for a queen bed, which we got, and it was comfortable, but there was only a couple of inches on either side of it because it was in an alcove that was only slightly larger than the bed. Location is great!
