Very friendly, professional staff. Easy check in and out. Very nice room. Clean and nicely decorated. Comfy bed, good strong shower. The only issue we had was the air conditioner was pretty noisy. Cooled just fine but woke me up when it turned on and off.

This is a no-frills hotel with a very basic breakfast included. The staff was nice and helpful and the room was cleaned and maintained. It was a little noisy at night. It's a decent, basic hotel. It's expensive for the price, but that is because of it's location.

The rooms were very pleasantly configured and furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room did not get cleaned one day, but it was an error and they cleaned it as early as possible the next day. The location was convenient, so Sandpiper Lodge made a great home base.
