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!!

No bells and whistles but nice place to stay!

Nice place to stay for the price. The room had a little fridge and a micro wave. The shower had good pressure. The bed was comfortable. Very quiet. A block from the beach. Nothing fancy but would definitely stay here again. Only tiny complaints no ice machine and no little plastic cups. Lol

Didn’t stay

We didn’t stay here after checking in. The room was hot with a small window unit in the back room. The towels were a dingy color and the shower curtain was mildewed. I couldn’t stay after a walkthrough. We stayed here many years ago and it’s not the same anymore. It’s really rundown.

Low cost option

I was looking for a low cost option for a short fishing trip with 2 coworkers. The price was pretty good. The room was fairly basic and fairly clean. The carpet did have a few stains. TV service offered quite a few channels plus HBO. But I had to checkout a day early after seeing several spiders.

ok, but could be better

clean rooms & quiet, convenient area BUT the A/C was in back room so the front area was HOT. The front & back windows were unlocked when we arrived. No TV in the bedroom either. It was ok for a couple of nights I suppose. I would recommend adding some sort of storage to the shower. There was nowhere to your shampoo, soaps, washcloths, etc in the shower & also recommend a TV in bedroom.

It was a decent price. But we never got new towels or wash clothes for a 4 night stay. The sheets on the bed as they said were clean but “bleach stained”. The carpet was gross. But it worked for the time being because no where else had openings and there was a no refund unless you do it 2 weeks before you go.

Close to public beach access

Close to a public beach access and Ft. Macon. The room, although worn carpet and linens, it was clean, with a small refrigerator, microwave and a coffee machine. Our registration form and room key was in an envelope in the mailbox. A sign on the door said to sign and date the form and place back in the mailbox. A phone number was provided if we needed anything. The next morning, although the office was open, there was no one about. We used the same envelope to put the key in and left it on the desk.

The room was decent, definitely not as nice as pictures portrayed. Bed was comfy. Bedding was pretty although when we we arrived, one bed didnt have a comforter. We left briefly and returned to find a comforter in a bag on the bench outside. Ac window unit was super loud but we were basically just there to sleep so I didn't mind the background noise for sleep. Bathroom was clean and towels were thick, nice quality. The door was difficult to open & shut and was very loud. The door jams & doors were pretty dirty with fingerprints everywhere.

Absolute worst expererience ive ever had checking in. After an employee finally showed up a literal hour late we were given a room on the other side of the building that had a dirt path to get to. Room was half ass renovated and had heavily stained carpets and towels. Daylight was visible around a cheap retail window unit for ac. Bugs in room. Stay away from here. Go camping instead if youre tight on money. We just ate our payment for this and went to the other side of the island for a safe and clean weekend.

There was no staff on the property, they just left our keys in a mailbox. This didn't feel super safe to me. We get into the room and there was at least 30 to 50 small fly type bugs, I squished up to 30 of them. The carpet, door frames and fridge look like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The beds were hard and stained, I cut my let on the side of the bed because hard knobs were sticking out. It was convenient to walk down to the beach and was nice to walk back to the shower.

Still a bit of renovations needed

The Hotel is currently being upgraded, some issues need to be looked at. Ceiling fan could not be used as it was out of balance anf shook badly if on. Plastic blinds were broken an had to use pillow cases to cover window. New locking system was installed that used a QR code from email. If the dates of your stay was entered wrong, you link to the QR Lock code was made inactive. For the price, the room was as I expected. I would stay again, hopefully the issues are corrected

Hot garbage

What a dump. Rips and blood stain on the bedding. Looks to have been flooded out before and not all repairs were done. If the stove is that bad like it the picture why put it in there. All the picutres they use for adverising are a scam. They make one thing clear is they will not refund any money no matter what Not worth it look elsewhere

The carpet was disgusting more stains than color showing The smell of dead fish permeated the permeated the outside of the building and the smoking from the outside permeated the interior . I’ve never felt more uncomfortable We arrived late and as I had already been charged almost $200 for the stay and was traveling with 2 little ones we stayed. There were holes in the ceiling one looked like a vent but had a roll of plastic bagels stuck up in it I made the kids keep their shoes on until they climbed up into the bed The only thing in the room that appeared to be clean
