    No cups in the bathroom for brushing teeth or taking pills. Parking spaces were narrow. No one at the front desk until 9:30 am.

    No breakfast here. The room was small and bathroom also. The room was clean. It was a good value for the money, but not room for two. Best price in the area.

    The bathroom needed a few essentials: a hook on the back of the door, a soap dish in the shower, a towel rack.

    The lighting was great - particularly the lights by the bed, the ample dishes, the towels, the hot water in the shower, the location.

    It was clean and fairly nice for a standard room. It was a very small room and the bathroom was the smallest bathroom ever. You barely had room to brush your teeth in the corner or do skin care seriously. And you had to almost sit sideways on the toilet per my hubby. It was really very tight. The only other thing was the bedsheet that covers you was not wide enough. It has to be a double sheet instead of a queen It was a good location and clean and the staff were very nice

    The kitchen sink dripped constantly. Walls were very thin so you could hear the neighboring room snore. The shower was very tiny. You lift your arms up to wash your hair and your elbows were touching the wall.

    The location to the public access and Jolly Roger's to name a few.

    Wish check-out were at 11am vs 1030am, but minor inconvenience... property great in terms of staying with pets and location and clean with comfortable sleeping.

    Straight across from the beach and public beach access... place to potty my two dogs... very easy parking... and access to conveniences for travel... very happy overall... I highly recommend for budget and pet travel and travel in general.

    One bed rooms are TINY. I mean TINY. those rooms should be priced very cheap. I know they cannot change the room size but man they are tiny. It would be okay with no dog, but if you have a dog upgrade if your staying more than 2 nights. An ice machine would be nice to. Also, a pool would have been nice, but i know that is something they cannot change.

    Best beds, i slept great. It is pet friendly, close to the beach and restaurants, owner and his sister were very helpful and accommodating allowing us to check in early and clean our rooms first. The rooms were very clean and there is a lot of parking. Very nice quaint simple stay. There is a vending machine for soda, and a wash off shower.

    It’s an older property but it’s been maintained nicely.

    The location was nice. Having two bedrooms and a couch bed fit our family of 5. The rooms are very small, as is the bathroom, but for the location and price - not complaining! They have the kitchenware and appliances needed.

    We stayed at another hotel in the area 2 1/2 times higher in price than the price of Drifting Sands and yet we liked this motel much better! It was perfect for our needs. Comfortable beds and CLEAN. The room was not humid and we were not needing all the bells and whistles.

    It was very noisy, people in next room were loud and could here them till late at night. Bathroom was very tiny and no ac in bedrooms only in main room. Booking stated breakfast included and was not. People smoking and outside drinking with loud music, parking not in front of room. No tissues or shower soap.

    It was clean and good location. Staff was very nice! Can have pet.
