“Sand Dollar Inn, while budget-friendly, presents a mixed bag; its location near stores and restaurants is certainly a plus for those seeking convenience. However, potential maintenance issues, including reported pest sightings and room damage, give pause. Weighing the economic benefit against the condition of the accommodations is essential before booking.”
