Our room had perfect view of the ocean. The beach bar was actually open despite the chill in the air. The room we stayed in does need some maintenance. The base of one lamp was held together with (no lie)…..scotch tape. Had difficulty opening one of the blinds do to a missing rod. A hook on the bathroom door would be useful but the room was clean and had fresh towels each day.

Pleasant check in with very nice helpful staff. This appears to be an older building but the room was very up to date with a really nice spacious walk in shower. All rooms face the ocean which is less than 100 yards away. There is a bar on the beach, a place to sit and relax and watch the waves.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room itself was very clean and accommodating on arrival. We only received fresh towels on one occasion, leaving soiled linens behind. Sand accumulated and I used a towel to "sweep" the floor to prevent sand from spreading everywhere. Although booked as a non-smoking facility, smoking was allowed EVERYWHERE except the rooms. This included right outside our room which was surrounded by pot smoke, as people sat outside their rooms smoking constantly. Despite complaints where we were assured they shouldn't be smoking in those areas, it continued: on the decks, at the bar and at the beach. A totally disgusting experience. I was also accosted by a drunk woman waving a grocery list, asking me to get her groceries. My belief is the suites are housing DSS recipients, which makes any guest stay undesirable. Never, ever recommended Sandy Shore Motel!!!
