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.

The bed sheets were clean and crispy white however the motel is outdated and the shower is so tiny.The parking spaces are also very tight and uncomfortable. I would stay here again if it was the only option but definitely not my first pick.

Very outdated, sink and toilet should have been replaced in bathroom years ago.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.
