The Sand Dolaar is perfect for a quick trip or solo trip. Of you need comfort, this isn't for you. But its perfect for a get-a-way. Management has been great with any needs as well.

No frills. Have low expectations it's a motel not a hotel. Service was good very nice on site staff. Very close to the beach which was the point for me. Is in the middle of updating but doing so on a budget. Not for anybody with champagne expectations.

Everything we could ask for and more! We scan into the room upon arrival and was able to unload as soon as we got there without hassle. Bet close to the beach and the view from the balcony was pretty amazing during the fireworks. 10/10

I went to get coffee the last morning and a cockroach came out of the coffee pot. If I can I would post a picture. I messaged the manager and still haven’t heard back from them. Unprofessional. Beds are too small for frame .and when someone got switch to room 5 there were dead roaches on floor I have pictures of that as well . She had kids . I can’t believe they have people stay there and knowing the infestation.

If you’re not concerned with Francy and just want to be a beach bum, this place is fine. The price is one of the lowest at this beach but takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ocean. It’s got a view of the bay across the street though.
