The beds were on metal frames and were not comfortable. We had to buy bedding because the sheets and blankets were beyond itchy. The view and beach were fantastic and so was the location. But the hotel itself was less than. The indoor pool looked unsanitary so we never used it. The outdoor pool was ok, we did use it. Was ok for a stay if you don't care about a crappy room or any amenities at all but won't stay again.

Fantastic location. Get the oceanfront view -totally worth it. Efficiency didn’t have pans to bake anything in the oven so we had to get aluminum foil or buy a pan — and there isn’t a lot of dishes — so bring your own disposable plates/bowls too. Nothing was left behind from previous guests either — so make sure to bring your own salt/pepper, spices, salad dressings, etc. We didn’t have a broom in our room but the hotel staff was quick to loan us one and eventually told us to keep it in our room. The broom is only necessary if you plan to go to the beach because the sand gets everywhere! An employee named Mays (spelling?, works maintenance) was super friendly, gave us directions and good places to go eat, and even would chit chat with us while he was on a break from work when he didn’t have to talk to guests. Another employee (don’t think we ever got his name, tall, a little older, slim) was super nice, friendly, quick to pick up any piece of litter/trash, always said hello or good morning, held doors, etc. The check-in/check-out staff were nice and friendly too but just didn’t deal with them as much as the employees who walk around the hotel and the grounds. The maids were very nice when we would interact with them but they were very busy doing what they do and we would just talk to the other two guys if we had questions. The hotel could use an update - but there is so much more to look at and experience than a few chips of paint. We would definitely stay here again.

Pros: the staff was excellent and so nice, property very convenient to restaurants and attractions, right on the beach, good restaurant in hotel, lower in price compared to other area hotels

Cons: property in severe need of updates, very run down, dust caked on rusted appliances and fixtures, peeling walls, molded shower knobs, property states strict no smoking policy but we smelled weed in the hallways and even in our room at times consistently for our whole stay which was terrible, you could tell the room had been cleaned at surface level before our stay but definitely not deep cleaned

The staff at Holiday Sands were wonderful! They didn’t hesitate to help when asked and some even took it upon themselves to ask if we needed anything. Beach view was absolutely AMAZING and the room was clean. The only complaint I have is that the first room (as soon as you enter the room) stayed hot even with the AC on full blast, ceiling fan going and room dividers open! A small windowless AC unit may be needed in that area of the rooms!

We were very pleased with our stay. Our stay was for five nights. Our room was very nice and very clean and had everything we needed. Our only complaint was the fridge because it was very hard to open because it was jammed next to the wall. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect. We didn’t use the lazy river or other pool which are in the south tower. We were right on the beach and the grounds were beautiful! Cindy

Beds were clean. The floor was not. We had a 1st floor room and the door to outside was super hard to open and shut. The door knob was loose. The door didn’t close properly so bugs could come in from the bottom. Beach view was beautiful. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The entire place could use some serious updating. Also, parking is crazy, we had to drop off our handicap family to park at the 4th lot which was about 2 streets over every day for the week except one.

We booked the room via Expedia and thought we would be in a king room. Instead, we were given a queen and much smaller room than expected. The management worked with us but were unable to give us the king room. Then we had a problem with our shower and was upgraded to an oceanfront double queen bedroom. The owners, management and maintenance staff were helpful all along the way! The room was clean, beds were comfortable and the property was inviting! Thanks so much! We look forward to our next vacation with you!

Affordable place to stay for a last minute decision to put a vacation together for the kids this summer. Staff was super friendly and helpful. They even switched our room when we arrived so that we had a beach view and access. 3 minute drive or 12 minute walk up the boardwalk to main vacationing spots. Location was quiet as well, which was a major plus. We all decided that we're doing another vacation stay here next summer!

I actually stayed in Holiday Sands South which is next door. I did manage to go to the other location to get food from the pizza shop that was on the second floor.
Both of these locations are way overdue for a major makeover and renovations. Visitors deserve comfort, cleanliness, and style. The staff deserve to be proud of working in an establishment that they can be proud to represent.
It was a plus that this location was right on the beach and strip but once inside it just felt like a cheap motel. First off, the front desk should be open to the outside as well as to the visitors coming in-it was closed off.
The hallways had a strong ammonia smell. New hallway carpets and room curtains are a must.
There is a vast amount of corrosion (rust) and tear away on the appliances, hangers, bath tubs.
The elevators need to be serviced and cleaned often.
Rooms need a bit more extra cleaning and maintenance. Upon entering my room, I noticed there was a hole in the bathroom door that I reported to the front desk. Also, I noticed the floor had not been swept or mop but there was a broom and dustpan in the closet area-I AM A GUEST not for me to do.
The hotel has a strict policy to enforce non-smoking, however they should provide a shaded location on site.

I loved the fact that the room was equipped with a full kitchen, stove and dishes. What o didn’t like about the place, the pools were not clean ( they were cloudy looking and not clear), and the rooms were outdated. I thought that I was getting two bedrooms but it ended up being only a sliding partition to separate the second room. Parking was across the street and three different locations, I was not use to that. It was not completely bad, but it also wasn’t extremely good. Overall just okay.

The staff were all amazing. The hotel had the amenities they advertised. Unfortunately, what I reserved based on the pictures online just was not what I was presented with in person. The hotel is very worn despite pictures to the contrary. The rooms themselves were totally fine and in general the hotel served its purpose, but the presentation in-person vs. Online was very discouraging. The location and ease of access right along the beach was a huge plus to be highlighted.

So the pictures and the description in the advertising of the room is very, very misleading! Please don’t try to con people to stay at your property with using false information and pictures of the rooms!

I think the hot tub in the pool and lazy river were awesome. The only thing I would have a problem with was the park, but that was because I had a bad foot, but other than that, the staff was awesome. The people were so polite didn’t even ask for towels and they was out on the in front of the door in a bag so I mean to me what a great place to stay and the price was a great to my book so I appreciate y’all and thank you so much, Charles.
