Hi Beautiful People! The staff members who checked us in were fast, efficient and very friendly! The room was clean and we were able to grab the parking spot right in front of our room. The bed and pillows were ok. Again, most importantly, they were clean. The beach was 1/2 a block from our room!!!! We took a 20 minute ride to Beach Haven and had dinner at the Black Whale, which was wonderful! We would absolutely return to this establishment!!

It was a good value considering how much it usually costs to stay in LBI in the summer. The rest of the hotel is nice but these rooms are definitely the least nice- the building itself is kind of dumpy, the beds were terrible, and the bathroom sink is a pedestal sink so that’s annoying if you’re trying to wash and make up your face. The staff was nice, the amenities like beach badges and beach items were convenient, and I enjoyed the proximity to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and area attractions. We’d stay again, just maybe in the nicer parts.

I have stayed at the Drifting Sands before, but this was my first time in the Beach House as all other rooms were sold out. I was shocked at how old and dingy the room was, how uncomfortable the beds were and how unclean the bathroom was. Drifting Sands location on the beach is great and the service of beach chairs and towels is nice. But the hotel needs to undertake serious renovations of the Beach House rooms and should not rent them out again before modernizing them. For the money they charge, they can certainly afford to do so.

Dirty rooms, never change the sheets or pillow cases, we need to ask for extra towels, this is a Motel not Hotel. The staff at the front desk was very polite, after a brief complaint about my first room assign we were relocated to a somehow better room. The pictures show on website and promotions are for the BEACH FRONT HOTEL, this misleads the client and tourists. Please check directly with the facility regarding rooms availability and commodity.

Beautiful in the beachfront lobby. We booked the beach house. Close to the beach. The walls are thin. We heard everything from our neighbors. Some loud conversations past 10pm. Our aIr condition was extremely loud and right on the sleeper next to it. The bed was creaky. We had a great price for LBI, but we would not spend a dime more during the popular season. Owners are wonderful. Complimentary coffee, beach chairs, and towels. We had a great weekend , but no sleep.
