We enjoyed our stay so much, we bought the room. :-) We live in DE and were looking for a place at the beach that we could regularly get away to on the weekends during the summer. While an OC house or conventional condo, even with the current depressed housing market, is still astronomically expensive, the prospect of owning a... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights in July for a little getaway. The room was very small, but had a little kitchen in it which was nice. There was not very much room at all to move around in the room and the sheets did not look so clean. Also the shower in the bathroom was very... more

Dear Readers, Don't book the Sifting Sands Motel. Bugs in room 20, ignorant front desk people, and a lack of cleaning by maid service. We also had to pay for our own beach tags. Arnie (the front desk senior citizen) did not have lots to say when we questioned him about these problems. He told us we were being a... more

WE have been coming to this hotel for the past three years. The people are just great. It is a family place and the location could not be better. I was wondering about a larger room for 2009 and got a grand tour of different types of rooms. The staff is just great. Can not wait till 2009 in July... more

Just returned from 5 days at the Sifting Sands. Very happy with accomodations: bright , sunny room and bath; 2 burner stove and refrig.; nice cabinet & counter space. Location was great-- 9th and Ocean Ave.: close to the boardwalk, ocean ,restaurants,and shopping on Asbury Ave. After swimming in the ocean, we came back and swam in the heated pool.... more

We called a day in advance and asked "Arnie" (the manager) for a newer room. We said we did not have a ton of money and we have a family of 3. Arnie said he had a new room that was just finished this year. He said it wasn't the largest room but that it was decorated beautifully. It was... more

My parents stayed here for my sister's wedding. They booked 2 nights. My father who never complains about anything felt the place should have been torn down. My parents were so disappointed that we went and got their belongings the next day. When I saw the place I could not believe that this place had cost them $179.00 per night.... more

We stayed at this hotel last year and had room #11; not a very good one. But, went back this weekend for an overnight stay, had room #48 and it was a good experience. We found out last year that not all rooms are updated and some are privately owned; that's why some are nicer than others. Room #48 was... more

We stayed in room 48. Furniture was very sparse. There was a bed, a couch, and a small end table beside the couch. There was some built in cabinetry around the bed. However, there was no place to sit a clock, lamp, or even your pocket change in the bedroom. There was one tiny mirror in the bathroom vanity. No... more
