The property has been going through some upgrades. Rooms are nice. Convenient walk to public beach access. Only issue was the full dumpster that wasn't emptied but not the property's fault. Definitely a great place for the money for weekend getaway.

Room is very basic, and very small, but I like the fact that it’s got no smelly carpet! Room is clean and desk persons were nice enough, when they are there. There is a number posted at the office to call after hours, but that goes to a machine and they will call you back when they open the office again, so hopefully it’s not important. If you let the shower run long enough, the water does eventually get luke warm.

Beach Trip

Overall the room was spacious and clean, amenities were very nice and staff was friendly. The staff were also quick and helpful regarding clean towels and linens. Everything was provided, bathroom toiletries too. Only issue was Sunday morning around 8 or 9, we were woken up by work on the roof and loud bangs. While this likely wasn’t avoidable, it was still disruptive and we were asked to move our car.

No frills. Have low expectations it's a motel not a hotel. Service was good very nice on site staff. Very close to the beach which was the point for me. Is in the middle of updating but doing so on a budget. Not for anybody with champagne expectations.

The Sand Dolaar is perfect for a quick trip or solo trip. Of you need comfort, this isn't for you. But its perfect for a get-a-way. Management has been great with any needs as well.

Room was OK, but the property needs to be updated. The rugs in the room are dated and stained. Shower had plenty of pressure but the shower head was all clogged and desperately needed to be replaced. Good property for single guy or young adult on a budget. Your wife will definitely not like it there. I was there on the off season so it probably improves when they have more staff and customers. I would give it another chance if I went down again.

I went to get coffee the last morning and a cockroach came out of the coffee pot. If I can I would post a picture. I messaged the manager and still haven’t heard back from them. Unprofessional. Beds are too small for frame .and when someone got switch to room 5 there were dead roaches on floor I have pictures of that as well . She had kids . I can’t believe they have people stay there and knowing the infestation.
