One of the BEST motel we ever stayed in. Major hotels can’t beat their human less, high tech service. Well thought out of everything which made our stay amazing. THANKS to the Sandpiper Team !! Everyone who’s looking for a place to stay in for night or multiple days MUST experience it at least once.

A great place to stay, clean, convenient and quiet location, close to supermarket. We were given an upgrade to a spacious renovated room upstairs. Some other renovations are going on in the property. Microwave oven, toaster, kettle and cutleries are provided adequate to have a simple meal in room. Guest laundry is available for use. Towels are nice and soft.
