Oceanfront Diaster!!!!!!

We looked at the pictures of this hotel and it looked ok. Upon arrival, the hotel was a mess. The windows looked like they were going to fall out. Getting into our room it smelled like funk. We found trash (condom wrappers, candy wrappers, ect.) under the bed, and in the chairs. It was disgusting. I would recommend you paying a little more to stay elsewhere. The room smelled terrible. We will never stay there again.

It was Clean

That's about all I can say about this room. It's actually one of the worst rooms I've ever stayed in and I was extremely surprised people actually rated it a 3 star place...they must have some low expectations. The headboard was falling off of one of the beds, the carpet was gray, industrial berber and looked like it had been thrown down due to renovations (let's hope so). There was one square of extra padding in the middle of the room under the carpet and someone had put an iron down right on the carpet and left a huge burn. The matress was about 100 years old and very springy (I could actually feel the springs). I also had to go to the lobby to use the wireless internet. It was very clean and the staff was very nice but that alone was not worth the money.

Complimentary Peanuts?

While a decent price, you definitelty get (or don't get) what you pay for. It looks a lot better on their website than it actually is! Parking is located a block away, across the street. Our room had exposed PVC pipe, held up with clamps, above the beds near the ceilings. When we arrived, there was no soap in room. Had to go pick some up at desk as there was no housekeeping staff on duty. Light in bathroom went out during shower in morning. While maintenance did come fix it while we were out, they left the light hanging sideways and left dust and debris all over bathroom sink. Bedding blanket had a big hole in it. Fingerprints all over balcony glass door. And last but not least, PEANUTS were in various places all over the floor (behind door, under dressers, under sink in bathroom). Finally told housekeeping lady to clean them specifically, and it was done the second day. We stayed in mid-October 2009. When we came back to our room after a wedding the 2nd night, room doors on either side of ours were OPEN! They were obviously doing repairs during the day and just left the doors standing open at night. Definitely NOT a good hotel choice, but I guess you get what you pay for!

Needs Improvement

Well the hotel itself is pretty beat up. Our room was very roomy but needed a major facelift. The view of the ocean would have been perfect had our balcony window been cleaned. While my fiance and I were hanging out on the balcony our neighbor came out and asked us if our room was falling apart. He stated that things were breaking in his room and that he called the front desk to make sure he wasn't going to get charged for it. I don't recommend this hotel.

Needs great improvement

The hotel was not that clean. There was no lighting in the halls at night. It was very dark trying to make your way to the elevtor. The loction was perfect but the hotel was not so great

Great location and view, a bit dingy.

The ocean view from my 5th floor room was great, but there were a few things about the room itself that were not as nice. The wallpaper seemed to be peeling away in some places. There were some mold stains in the shower, and some of the caulking was peeling away. The carpet seemed fairly clean, but was stained. One of the elevators was being tiled, but the other was carpeted and smelled like mustard. Overall, an OK place to stay if you know what you're getting into and don't pay too much. The ocean view and convenient beachfront location are great.

Needs Improvement

The Service and people were nice. The hotel needs work. The building looks old. ocean view is excellent. The parking is across the street (3 blocks).

Excellent!

For the money, I dont think you could get a better hotel than Atlantic Sands Oceanfront Hotel. My wife and I had a beautiful view of the beach! Whenever we needed our room serviced we would put the sign on the door, go out on the strip for an hour, and when we came back the room was clean. I highly recommend this hotel!

needs improvement

Balcony was filthy. carpet was old and had lumps in it so you could trip. Had to ask for coffee machine. then you would have to ask for coffee for the coffee maker. No ice stations on our floor.

Rundown

The hotel is run down...falling apart. However, great view. Great location. If you get it for a cheap rate...much cheaper than the surrounding hotels then go for it. If I had to spend $20 bucks more a night for a nearby hotel I would. I would only go back here if I saved around 50% over others. They were friendly though. It's just the hotel itself needs major improvemnts/renovations.

Buisness yes; Family No

The location of the hotel is prime and it was fine for me on buisness, the club was cool, they had Karaoke and the burger was good; drinks were expensive but the food was reasonably priced. All the rooms are oceanfront so that was a plus but the condition of the room on appearance was okay, upon closer inspection the beds were in terrible condition you could feel the springs and they were collapsed, the room was musty and humid, bathroom had a HUGE mold issue on the shower ceiling, the balcony was filthy. Me being a guy, I have lived in worse for the price it was fine, a bed and a shower and a t.v. I was set. But if I was on vacation with the wife no way. Being it's the 21st century they need to get with it, the only internet access they have is in the lobby in a 6 by 6 foot area and that is very un reliable.
