Sandpiper Motel

"The young lady that took my reservation was a delight. Room was a typical motel Which I wasn’t expecting much but once the cockroaches came out it bothered me. But what really bothered me was I ended up leaving and forgot to get my cash deposit so I went back later that night and the gentleman upfront felt the need to talk down to me like I was doing something wrong. As he sat likened way back in his chair, ponytail , rundown stained shirt and shirts covering his overweight 46 inch waist line Then as he opened up my envelope which had my $50 deposit he tried crumbling up a 20 and hiding it in his hand. Only giving me back 30. When I called him out on it he shrugged his shoulders and threw my crumpled up twenty under bulletproof glass window. Wow!!! Management you might want to rehire someone trustworthy for ur nightshift."

"Big beautiful room, but the layout was terrible! Big fridge with 4-burner stove. No clock/radio, lamp didn't work (yes, I switched bulbs)! Socket near stove didn't work and even though the sign says breakfast and ESPN/HBO, there was none of the former and the latter was sketchy! The TV has 4-digit channels and both stations reception had 60s era, rabbit-ear type pictures! We had a handicapped-styled shower that wet up the whole floor --- YUCK! 3 days for $300, we won't be back, and the clientele was filthy! Every time we left to go out, somehow cigarette butts were always in front of our door! So instead of a 3 . . . this place gets a 2! But the staff tried their best and were very responsive!!"

"We originally had reservations at another hotel and that turned out to be a complete fiasco since they overbooked and had no rooms for anyone (several different groups) with reservations. We immediately started looking for another place and came across this one. Roland at the front desk that night was extremely helpful and got a room. He even gave us a discount because of what this other hotel had done. When we got into the room we were pleased. The room was clean and it even had a kitchen, even though we never used it. Location is easy access to the beach and to the fair grounds. I would recommend staying here."

"Enjoyed my stay here. The woman at the front desk was incredibly kind. However, there are a large number of suspicious characters roaming around this particular motel. There was a young man walking back and forth around the property in a haze, looking sickly intoxicated. Besides that, this was a great place to stay."

"*Update* Finally got one of the rooms the other reviews warned about after staying here multiple times! There are nice rooms here, but there are also very outdated rooms that have uncomfortable beds and seem far dirtier that others. These rooms do have a tendency to have roaches crawling around and the bathrooms are (at least to me), not only outdated, but disgusting. Guest and I really enjoyed the stay. The reviews concerned us and I thought it would be a terrible stay, but it ended up being a great location. This hotel is close to a lot of places (within walking distance). The room itself was clean and the beds/sheets looked clean. The room was spacious and had a sitting area as well as a kitchenette. The kitchenette included the small sink, mini fridge, and microwave. The bathroom was also up-to-date and had no issues with water/plumbing. My interactions with the staff were really positive. They were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if in the area."
