Mattress was about 100 years old, didn’t sleep all night, no air conditioning, no water pressure. Not worth $200 a night

Bathroom needs a little TLC for appearance aesthetics (shower floor tiles/grout need a good steam clean) for a peace of mind feeling but nothing that would keep me from staying again.

Noisy hotel
I didnt realise the room didnt have AC so had to have window fully open. As such the room was really noisy, from the sound of cars, gulls and very inconsiderate people in other rooms shouting at their children. The beds were uncomfortable and the alarm clock buzzed and had to be unplugged so we had the worst nights sleep for whole 3 week holiday. Would not recommend hotel

Check in guy was kinda snippy and rude. Unfortunately got put in a room below people who were up all night partying, with a dog, flushing toilets every 20 minutes. Not a cool experience when you have a dog and baby - nobody slept.

The sandpiper was great as always but the customers all around us were super loud, kids running and screaming above us. Made it very hard to sleep. People were hanging out in front or our #5 door and were being obnoxious and loud. Rough night in the sleeping department ugh but we love the sand piper
