I have stayed at Sifting Sands during the MSBike ride for a decade. My family likes the stay there. The pool is great. It's close to the boardwalk. And it a great place to bed down while visiting Ocean City. The rooms are small, but they've always maximized bed space.

Very outdated, sink and toilet should have been replaced in bathroom years ago. Shower very tiny, good thing we are all slender to regular sized people. I don’t remember ever sleeping on such bad mattresses. Even my son in his 20’s asked what was up with the beds, horrible! Good location for shopping and beach. Pool nice but very small. Parking worked out fine. We were told by a regular on the property not to move our car or we would have to park in the overflow lot a few blocks down. Luckily we were okay.

The staff was very nice and friendly but other than that, you get what you pay for. The room was tiny-shower stall even smaller. I had reserved a pet friendly room which they didn’t realize at check in and then charged $150 for two nights. Door mats outside are nearly all ripped in half. Not sure why they don’t throw them out…the place is what it is: a cheap shore motel.

Worked well for 2 night stay, would have worked far an even longer stay due to the kitchen facilities. Just wosh the shower had been larger. I'm not a big person and the shower was tight

Room was perfect for our family. Location was close to the boardwalk but still quiet and felt safe. Staff wasn’t the friendliest and the WiFi didn’t work in the bedroom but overall we had a positive experience and would stay again.

My family stayed at this location many years ago and it was wonderful! Unfortunately for this one night stay we were given a room that did not meet our expectations at all. It was outdated, small, and you could tell the interior was not kept up with (by no fault of the daily cleaning people, mold on the bedroom ceiling). Fortunately due to a good manager and staff, we were refunded our money.

Phyllis and staff were very accommodating. Immaculate and well supplier with towels, etc. Our only suggestion is to purchase new mattresses, otherwise we will visit again. Very suitable for pets. Thank-you.

Excellent service from check in and check out. Staff was friendly and polite. Room was clean and organized. Extra towels, blanket and pillows are always available. Location close to boardwalk. 2 blocks from the motel. Safe. We booked 3 rooms and they assigned our room next to each other. Safe for elderly and children.

The property was great---there is parking and a couple of blocks to the Boardwalk. Middle of town and shops and diners close. The motel is old but clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Would stay at Sifting Sands again.
