Verified Reviews of Drifting Sands Oceanfront Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "They may have okay rooms but we didn?t get one."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Upon arriving at the hotel, the reservation that was booked using Hotel Planner is not what we received. The ocean front beach access king suite was three rows back in a dirty and bug infested 1970 vintage twin bed efficiency room. The room was canceled and we did not say the night. .. The front desk did not offer much help. Hotel Planner is to be refunding the money, but I have not seen it yet.

"Didn?t get room I booked."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
My reservation was for an ocean front 1st floor room. When I checked in Friday evening, I was given an efficiency on the 2nd floor. The woman in the office couldn't change the room because there were no ocean front rooms available. I didn't pay for an efficiency. I wanted an ocean front and that's what I paid for. As of Friday, it still hasn't been made right.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
This was an average beach hotel. At night when people are walking along the hallways outside of the rooms, you can hear it very clearly and loud. The pillows were flat, the mattress soft (too soft) and the corners of the room and where the floor meets the walls were dirty with lint and even a previous guests toe or fingernail?.In the end, this was nothing special.
