Very deceptive/devisive about their hidden costs fthat gives them an unfair bump in the stack rank in searches against competition. e.g., Neither on their website nor in their written communication with me did they state any amount they charge for pets. Absent declaration, default assumption - no charge. Now all things being equal without that hidden charge they looked better than even Motel 6 on June 19 ( Note: motel 6 by default has not charged for pets). When I & kids arrived late at the property around 8:00 pm, They sprang a $30 Tax on top of the room rate for a small dog. The icing on the cake was when they stated I could still cancel and look elsewhere fully knowing that I was past their cancellation deadline by over a day. Furthermore trusting, he might still allow to cancel as I was investigating options elsewhere, travelocity sends message asking feedback on stay there i.e., I am checked in and lose my prepaid money if I go elsewhere. What topped it all was the excuses they gave post fact - the attendent showed me their website that only states they allow pets but still no fee or anything else is mentions. Then when I pointed out my message about the accompanying pet I had sent in with my reservation and their response not stating anything or amount. The attendant points out a non deterministic phrase "....'may be' a charge....." . More than money it's the time waste & business' credibility...doing a play on words to squeeze a $ in a late arrival situation.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We strive to deliver a great guest experience, but it sounds like your time with us did not meet your expectations. We are sorry to hear that you had issues with cleanliness. We take upkeep and cleanliness very seriously, and your room should always feel fresh and clean. Our staff generally does a great job when it comes to maintaining our property and preparing/airing the rooms for upcoming guests, so it is strange that this happened. We will, however, bring this to the attention of our housekeeping team and see to it that our standards of cleanliness are maintained at all times. It is disappointing if a guest leaves with less than first-rate experience - this is very unlike us. We sincerely hope that you will give us a chance to redeem ourselves with you and delight you with the top-notch stay that the vast majority of our guests usually have with us. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team Sand dollar Inn.

Dear guest, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and letting us know that you found the room clean. We appreciate it. We strive to deliver a great guest experience, but it sounds like we did not achieve our goal on this occasion. We apologize for the noise issues that caused you some inconvenience, and we are sorry for any failure in delivering on our commitment to provide you with a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. We will ensure that our team is fully briefed on your comments and see to it that all of our staff members are more conscious of this moving forward. Please know that do ask all guests to respect one another and keep the noise level to a minimum, but, unfortunately, not all of our guests abide by all rules. Should you consider staying with us again, please contact the front desk if there is ever any issue with noisy guests. Our staff will be happy to request the concerned guests to keep the noise down or to move you to another room to ensure a pleasant stay for you. It is disappointing if a guest leaves with less than first-rate experience - this is very unlike us. We know we can do better, and it would be an honor to have a chance to redeem ourselves with you and restore your faith in our facility and hospitality. Best Regards, Customer Care Team

There was mold all over the walls and ceiling in the bathroom. The door had a big gap in it where you could see daylight and cold air came right in

Rooms were clean, bed comfy. Was worried when I saw the neighborhood and exterior, but overall a good stay for one night. Gusto pizza and pasta within walking distance is fantastic too.
