I was born and raised in Sanford and always love coming back for a visit. In the last 10-20 years it has grown and expanded, but the downtown area has been developed into a charming place for dining, walking, and socializing.

Sanford is a growing suburban area with shopping and restaurants. Safe area, about 30-40 minutes from beaches and scenery. Hotel was near a busy road and noisy at times, windows not sound proof but overall acceptable.

I did happen to drive around a little bit after I left the hotel and it looks like an older town that is definitely becoming refurbished and reinvented and I like that

Well back in the 70s, I lived in Sanford and loved the area and went back to the old stumping ground on French Avenue and it didn't change much. I can say that.
