We had a good stay. Being a beach front hotel there is wear and tear but it adds to the charm. It was loud when the close by bars closed at night.

This property might not be for familes. The bar area was very loud until early morning hours. They advertised that it was a private beach, but people just walked in off the street, creating little beach space for motel guests. Staff was virtually non-existant.

This hotel is right on the ocean as is their bar. It's not a quiet hotel as the other side faces the main road into the beach. There are 4-5 restaurants/bars within walking distance, which is very convenient.

Second time staying here. Enjoyed both times. First time I brought my 89 yo mother so she could enjoy the ocean. She has a walker & I was able to set her up on the patio/bar area. She loved it!

The only good thing was that fact the beach was a hop skip and a jump away. The hotel had fruit flys all over the place. We went to stop and shop to get a fruit fly repellent and it did not work. We had zero WiFi, normally we bring a Roku device when we go on vacation for the night time and we could not set it up due to zero internet. I spent $120.00 on data for my phone just to be able to watch our Roku. There was no microwave as well. I am highly upset at the price we paid for the terrible service. The hotel definitely needs an upgrade and better service. When asking one of the questions employees about the internet issue , they told me to go to office and connect and maybe it would follow me to my room. That to me is just crazy, for the price we paid we should have had internet and no flys all over are room.

The Sandy Shore Motel was old, but clean and maintained. We checked out, though, after three hours and went to a place up the beach because there is an outside bar at the motel and they were playing music loud enough that it muted the sound of the waves. We didn't want to hear Taylor Swift (no offense Tay Tay - we love you) we wanted to hear the ocean. And we couldn't have our window open without hearing the bar music - which - we were told - stayed open to 1 am. Also, the motel is horseshoe shaped and our room faced a bank of port-a-potties that were there for bar patrons. So, if you want to day drink and don't mind looking at port-a-potties - this place will suit you. If you want to hear the ocean and have kids who need to go to bed early, you may want to look elsewhere.
