Sofas dingy.. felt itchy when we sat on them . Maybe consider cleaning and putting plastic on them … bed felt like a cardboard box.. bathroom paint looked like asbestos .. no shelf at all on shower for any items …black mold in corner of bedroom

The bed sheets were clean and crispy white however the motel is outdated and the shower is so tiny.The parking spaces are also very tight and uncomfortable. I would stay here again if it was the only option but definitely not my first pick.

Had a great time. The boards were in walking distance. The pool was nice. No pressure to check out.

The staff was very nice and friendly but other than that, you get what you pay for. The room was tiny-shower stall even smaller. I had reserved a pet friendly room which they didn’t realize at check in and then charged $150 for two nights. Door mats outside are nearly all ripped in half. Not sure why they don’t throw them out…the place is what it is: a cheap shore motel.

Easy checkin, nice kitchen area, fold down table with 4 chairs, couch with pullout bed, AC, ceiling fans, nice bathroom, on site parking, pool, ceiling fans, tv in each room, clean! Wish I had more time to enjoy the accommodations! Close to the beach boardwalk!

Worked well for 2 night stay, would have worked far an even longer stay due to the kitchen facilities. Just wosh the shower had been larger. I'm not a big person and the shower was tight

Very lovely beach themed room very close to beach and the staff was very kind and helpful!
4.0
Room was perfect for our family. Location was close to the boardwalk but still quiet and felt safe. Staff wasn’t the friendliest and the WiFi didn’t work in the bedroom but overall we had a positive experience and would stay again.

We had a studio suite. It had a stove, 2 mini fridges, a good sized sink, plates, cups, and cutlery. The bedsheets were clean, the bathroom was well stocked and clean. The staff was kind, informative, and great overall! The room also came with beach tags so that really helped us out a lot! I will definitely be staying here again, it was worth every penny. As a bonus, it's about 2 blocks from the boardwalk Manco & Manco pizza.

My family stayed at this location many years ago and it was wonderful! Unfortunately for this one night stay we were given a room that did not meet our expectations at all. It was outdated, small, and you could tell the interior was not kept up with (by no fault of the daily cleaning people, mold on the bedroom ceiling). Fortunately due to a good manager and staff, we were refunded our money.

Phyllis and staff were very accommodating. Immaculate and well supplier with towels, etc. Our only suggestion is to purchase new mattresses, otherwise we will visit again. Very suitable for pets. Thank-you.

Property was a block away from the boardwalk, room was tidy, but linens and couch had stains on them.
5.0
Excellent service from check in and check out. Staff was friendly and polite. Room was clean and organized. Extra towels, blanket and pillows are always available. Location close to boardwalk. 2 blocks from the motel. Safe. We booked 3 rooms and they assigned our room next to each other. Safe for elderly and children.

Sifting Sands just a few blocks from the beach and boardwalk. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There were lots of outlets for device charging.
Dana at the front desk was flexible and helpful. She signed us in advance of our room being ready so give us beach bags.
4.0
The property was great---there is parking and a couple of blocks to the Boardwalk. Middle of town and shops and diners close. The motel is old but clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Would stay at Sifting Sands again.

This was a great place for a couple night stay. Very clean and everything was in working order. It even had a little kitchenette if you want to do some light cooking. It was just 2 of us so the room size was just fine.

We reviewed the comments in the reviews and were hesitant. Then we arrived and were pleasantly surprised. Our apartment was well-appointed and clean. In the conversion from a single-room motel to a condo (each united is rented but owned by a different owner. It's a "condotel." I didn't know there was such a thing!) It was a comforting stay close to the Boardwalk and downtown. We'd do it again.
The older reviews were just that old!
1.5
Vintage, 70's neon sign style property with very tight parking spaces with little room to turn vehicle in the lot. Mismatched furniture pieces. TV cable box was hanging by the coax half way along the wall, half way along the length of the room. Cramped rooms.

Only furniture was an old couch with a blanket thrown over it. Place is in need of work. Booked two nights, only stayed one. Room was clean and people were nice.
2.5
Our stay was sweet. We really enjoyed the pool. It was a change from the beach experience. We were able to relax a little bit. The price was reasonable. Place was small but was just enough space, since only 1 adult and 3 kids. Loved there was a stove, microwave, and frig available. We were only allowed 2 blankets for 4 people. It was a disappointment but we figured it out. My only real disappointment was the tight car space. It was a tight squeeze and could hardly get out of car. Then another car took two spaces so was afraid of not having a spot to park. very frustrating. Besides that it was nice for the price and it is close to boardwalk.
4.0
The Sifting Sands Motel was nice and clean. Room decor was cute and it was great how close the boardwalk was to the motel. Only 1 1/2 blocks from the boardwalk, and there is a good breakfast place, Augies, only a block away.

The heated pool was a real plus
5.0
Booked a room to bring my teenage daughter and her friend to the shore. Got a really good rate. Front desk staff was accommodating and helpful. The room was really cute, and recently updated. I loved the separate bedroom and the kitchenette. It was a 2 block walk to the beach. The girls loved the pool. I really appreciated the beach tags and parking. We all had a great time. Thank you!!
