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

We just returned from 4 nights at the Sifting Sands. Room 5 is located on the first floor, the only room on the street side of the hotel, away from the parking lot. It has it's own teensy patio with chairs. Overall this hotel was a great value and very convenient! Complete kitchenette was super for preparing beach lunches, and... more

The walls were done sloppy(maybe it was the design but it was still crappy). They said they had ice machines!!! Wrong again, they had bags of ice that... more

We also liked that the room had ceramic tile instead of carpet. We used the heated pool and found it to be very clean. The room also had a refrig, microwave coffee pot,... more

We just returned from a 4 night stay at the Sifting Sands with our 2 young children. While it was not terrible, it certainly wasn't what we were expecting based on what we saw on their web site. Yes, the location is great - 2 short blocks to the boards and beach, as well as the Asbury Street shops. The... more

My husband and I booked this hotel for 2 nights. We went there with high expectations afer reading the recent reviews and seeing the pictures on the property's website. The location is great. It's centrally located and is in walking distance to the boardwalk/beach, restaraunts, shops etc. The wireless internet worked really well, we used it daily. Also, the pool... more
