I frequently stay at the Sand Dollar. It's budget friendly and the staff is always helpful. The pool is well maintained and they have an elevator which is a godsend when you're on the 3rd floor.

Sadly, I will not be staying here again. I got there at 8 pm and the room I was given was dirty as if someone just checked out. The bed was unmade and trash (food) was left behind. The second room they gave me smelled like straight marijuana. We stayed for two nights and left the sliding door open to air it out but it did not help. The bedding had cigarette burns. The bathroom ceiling had mold.
