Me and my MS150 team stayed here for one night during the MS150 Bike tour. It was pretty good. Service was okay, but the rooms were pretty cozy and tight. It was pretty modern though even though it had a lamp with no shade no where near an outlet. Showers were very small. Few blocks away from beach and boardwalk. more

I booked this after reading both good & bad reviews. I just thought the bad reviews were just being too picky. This is a condotel & units are individually owned so what you get is potluck. The room I got was horrible, from the time I entered the room until I was able to get back to my own house... more

My family of five always has rented a home for a week stay in Ocean City, but this year, due to another type of vacation we are taking, we decided to stay a weekend in a hotel/motel. We have never done this before down there, so it was a very new experience for us. I went online and looked at... more

In August of 2007 my husband and I with our son and daughter stayed here for 2 nights, we had no problem with room, bathroom NOTHING! When it was time to departure we didn't want to leave. The only thing we wanted to do but didn't have time was to get use of the heated pool. 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
