Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean. The beds weren't comfortable and it was odd not actually having any staff to check in with. I think it is more personable to see/talk to someone. I was under the impression it was directly on the beach- it's across the street which was disappointing. Also strangley there was no box of tissue in the room, I've never been in a hotel that didn't provide tissues.

The room was clean and comfortable. The microwave and mini fridge / freezer were quite new and had a cool retro vibe. The paint and decorations looked fresh and clean. Bathroom fixtures also looked updated. Check in was super easy. They just email you an access code for your room so you don't even need to stop by the front desk.

We had a great stay at Sun and Sand Resort. The proximity of the beach was great. It was just far enough away from town to be quiet, yet close enough to drive into town to walk around. We would stay here again.

Very nice remodel

This is one of the old timey motels that has been revamped and it's the best one I've been to. The owners have done a nice job with the rooms - at least the one I was in. Very nice design, nice layout, comfortable bed with quality linens - bed and bath - which is not always the case for any line of lodging, great appliances and supplies. A bit over a mile from Port Austin proper. Great place to explore from.
