Our room did not look anything like the rooms in the pictures. Plus it was cold with no way to adjust the thermostat. No place to hang clothes or put our luggage other than the floor. Just a bed and chair. If all you needed was a place to sleep and a rest room, I guess it was OK.

I had a fantastic time at the Sand Dollar Motel. Every staff member I met went above and beyond to help me feel welcome, comfortable, and happy. Mrs Christina and her father, and their new employee Billy were all fantastic and a blast to meet for the first time. My grandparents stayed here often before I was born, and it feels kismet to have spent time here myself. The room was great, easy to navigate, beds were comfortable, appliances worked very well, and the atmosphere was lovely. Thank you guys!!
Decor in my bathroom, so cute!
