Don’t be fooled by the pictures on the Sandpiper’s website. The room I stayed in on the ground floor was dark, depressing, rundown and very out of date. The lights inside the room are very dim. The bedside lamps are barely enough light to read by. I asked for a room with a bathtub which I got, but the tub was shabby and had no plug! When I asked the manager for a plug, he didn’t have one and said he would go out and buy one. Four hours later when I returned to the office I asked for the plug and he said in a frustrated voice. “ Why do you keep bugging me I told you I would get you a plug.” He then handed me a plug he had bought . When I tried it out in the bathtub it was too big and I couldn’t use it. So much for customer service. I will never go back to this place again, and would not refer my enemies to it.
Ugh

Very clean motel. Free parking. Walking distance to restaurants and front water shops. Personal hygiene items are included. Coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge in the room. It is old motel, not frills, friendly staff and dog friendly too.

This is **NOT** the dreamiest place you'll ever stay - and there are downsides - **BUT** for the price and location, you'll love this place (As long as you are not expecting perfection!). It's a very old property and it looks its age - but it's clean and consistently maintained. The staff is kind and helpful. The one thing I would change is the policy on SMOKING. There is no AC in the room, which is fine - but that requires windows to be open on warm days. That's fine, too - the ocean is just 2 blocks away and the breeze is beautiful. BUT - if you have the next-door neighbors we had, you'll be huffing a whole lot of second-hand smoke. Each room has a cute little table and two chairs in front of the window... so, about 10 feet away from us, two guests would start smoking like a chimney at 7am and smoke all day outside until 9pm. The rooms are "no smoking" but our room became smoke central for the better part of the day. I would require guests to smoke in a designated area - not right in front of the room.

Great motel for a quick stay

Staff was super friendly. Hotel is clean, looks very newly repainted. It’s a simple motel without frills but really nice in that category. Second floor has a great view of the rock!
