We normally stay in condos for our longer trips but stayed here for a 2nd time for a quick family trip. The room was pretty clean, it clearly had previous water damage that had been repaired but not repainted etc. I love the location, it’s far enough down the strip to be less chaotic, but close enough to easily get to restaurants and pier park. The staff has been extremely kind and helpful both stays. My only complaint, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is all 3 of us staying found the beds to be incredibly uncomfortable, to the point of having trouble sleeping. All in all, we would stay here again for our quick getaways!

This was our 2nd time staying here. We liked it so much after the first time last summer for a weekend that we actually decided to stay a week this time. The rooms are clean and the ocean views were beautiful. Also the pool was heated and clean.

This hotel is a great spot for people on a budget who want to stay on the beach. It had a great view. I don’t recommend this hotel for anyone who expects a fancy room.

The ocean view from the balcony was great! The bed was a bit hard but had no problem sleeping. The elevator needs to be upgraded. I would stay there again but would ask for a 1st or 2nd floor to avoid the elevator.

My room was very clean and I enjoyed my stay. I love that the view that you see in pictures is actually what you get (the view was unobstructed; no other hotel was in the way on either side). I liked that the pool was heated so it could still be enjoyed in the off season and I liked that the pool was open later in the evening.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice our room/suite was at Sugar Sands. We had a first floor room so we could simply walk out to the beach. The pool and kids play area was very clean. It was quiet, clean and we slept great! We plan to return and stay longer next time!

Good view of the beach. Small parking lot next to the building. There is additional parking across the street. Staff could have done a better job. We had no soap, no shower curtain, and no kitchen towels. Check in was a long wait.
