Wonderful weekend at Drifting Sands!

This was my second stay at Drifting Sands. This time we were facing the beach and it was awesome! The lady at the reception desk who checked us in was absolutely delightful!!! Whenever I get the opportunity to visit LBI, I will always stay at Drifting Sands!

Ashley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great view of the ocean from our room. The doors to the balcony both glass and screen door need WD-40, hard to open. The room was very plain but served its purpose. We had an enjoyable stay. Thank you!

Nice place.
Hector, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

The location is what makes up for the little not so great things such as the property itself is a bit old and while they did clean the bathroom it was still a bit moldy. It was good to get beach chairs from the hotel though they can’t provide umbrellas. They had free fresh coffee in the lobby.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, but pricey hotel in great location

Room was good-sized, but sparsely appointed. Extra sink was a plus, but bathroom was a little small and could have used more shelves. Three flights of stairs with no elevator was a challenge.
William, 3-night trip

Check in was easy, and staff very helpful. Room dated but clean. Bed was very comfortable.

Location was great because it was right on the ocean. Rooms could have been a little better but had great amenities like a refrigerator & microwave. Balcony view was great. Loved being able to see the sunrise every morning.
