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 stayed in room #21 and loved it. The room has been redone and looks awesome. The queen bed had a pillowtop mattress and was very comfortable. 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

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

It was a very nice experience. The rooms are fresh. They have a new heated pool. And to top it off, they are close to the beach. My family also felt pampered from the maid service everyday. Im looking forward to the next visit, which I already scheduled. I love that they also had a bbq too. It felt like... more
