We stayed 3 nights. Communications before our trip were great! Room was clean, comfortable bed/pillows. Good breakfast options, staff were courteous. Staff though at the reception area can improve their interaction with guests by adapting more heartwarming approach starting with genuine smiles and make you feel you are not wasting their time with questions about the area. We stayed at another hotel for 1 night after our cruise and so much difference with our interaction with the front desk. Hotel overall was a good choice.

Excellent service and lively location. The breakfast was delicious, and its staff was charming and helpful. One caveat in the rooms: our bathroom had granite floors and walls. There were no rails or grab bars. Although beautiful, it was VERY slippery when wet. Be extra careful! We would stay here again without hesitation and recommend The Sand Hotel to others.

We had a wonderful night at the Sand and an even better morning because their breakfast was amazing! A little hard to find the entrance because it’s tucked away off the street but other than that we had a wonderful stay! Staff was so helpful and kind.

STAY AWAY!!!!

The worst hotel experience I have ever had. I never write reviews but need to warn others to stay away from this hotel. We flew in overnight from New York and had booked 2 rooms for our family. Our room #229 was located in a wing of the hotel that backed up to a bar that played constant very loud live music . The room was shaking from the music and it continued late into the evening. It was impossible to sleep despite being exhausted after being awake for nearly 36 hrs. The representative said that it had been a problem for a while and that other guests had complained as well. They had no other rooms and would not refund us for the room as we had to leave the hotel that night and find another place to stay. They should not be renting out these rooms in this condition or at the very least warning guests prior to check in.
