Close to the beach!

Front desk staff was very helpful on providing trail maps for us. There is a lot of rooms so it was busy. It was close to the boardwalk which was really nice. Only issue was the AC was really loud.

I reserved 4 rooms for 3 nights. All the carpets in every room was pretty gross. They were pretty obviously stained which couldn’t be missed. The cleaning staff were lovely and I do believe that they reported that the carpets needed cleaned. Also, the smell of cigarette smoke was disgusting. Due to negligence by management in this matter our family will not be using Sandman again.

Excellent staff

The staff and service was incredible and that’s why I gave 4 stars. Updates are needed and a couple things in our room were broken/almost broken (a lamp switch and the shower faucet). Our bedding and towels were clean and the a/c works! The room and bathroom were a little dirty- dust, spills and hair. My guess is a lack of adequate staffing or unreasonable expectations on the cleaning staff. They were fantastic and always available.
