    Its hard finding a place at the jersey shore that "isn't" your typical flea ridden motel with "free HBO".

    A-OK is correct! Visited Stone Harbor/Avalon for an engagement party this weekend and was lucky to…read moregrab a booking with my friend at Desert Sand. Where to begin? A lot of good and a lot of odd! Let's start with what I liked: + Great amenities for a beach vacay! Indoor and outdoor pools, super quick access to the beach front, ample parking for guests, nice sized rooms with a couple of different layouts, that you can explore on their website which is helpful. + Amazing location - quick walk to downtown area, easy beach walk, and close to restaurants and wedding venues. Pretty sure it was exclusively wedding guests staying here while we were attending. + Decent in-room amenities as well - we LOVE a hotel with makeup remover wipes. Free wifi, etc. The not so great: + Rooms are pretty bare bones and drab from a decor perspective. Haven't have an upgrade since the 80s? + The payment process was so wacky. You can "cash" in on a deal if you're willing to jump through hoops (at least in a not so busy weekend in October), like sending in a cash deposit, paying in cash upon arrival...and then getting a $50 visa gift card back. It was bizarre. I think finding accommodations here can be a challenge, so they'll continue to get away with it..but dang. Any seasoned traveller would say "WTF" to this process. + Like other reviewers have said, staff isn't super warm or welcoming. A fine option if you're looking for a cozy spot on the beach!

    We arrived shortly before our check-in time of 4:00 pm on a Friday night and had no problems…read morechecking in upon our arrival. We had an XE suite which included a common area with a microwave, kitchen sink, and large refrigerator as well as two separate bedrooms both with their own full baths. Each bedroom had two queen beds and a tv. The room was spacious and the shower was nice until we found out our water wasn't getting warm no matter how far towards heat we turned our shower handle. Our room was cold (which was okay - I enjoy sleeping in the cold) but the air conditioner was very loud and was constantly turning on. I thought my bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. There was plenty of parking surrounding the hotel and lots of seats outside around the patio. I didn't mind staying at Desert Sands and it was more affordable than other options in the area. We didn't spend too much time in the room during our 2 night stay, but it wouldn't have been a big deal if I had to spend a little extra time in our room. It felt/looked clean. This was my first time in Avalon and I don't know when I'll be back but I would consider staying here again (as long as my shower had hot water lol).

    There are pros and cons to everywhere you stay. I may stay here again if we come back. I will…read morestart with the positive: this is in a very convenient location as it is on Landis. The rooms are all unique and different. You will also get the amenities that you need. They are very nice and friendly. It is also clean (which when you do a shore house you may not have). The cons: I feel that it is overpriced - in October we paid $150 a night. We had a kitchen in our unit but most of the cabinets were zip-tied shut. There was a sign to wash what we used. For $150 a night; in my opinion housekeeping should take care of that. There is no coffee in the room (but there is a coffee pot??), there is no ice machine or any sort of vending machine or even some snacks behind the counter. We are not your typical Jersey Shore visitors in that we flew in. Had we driven in some of these may not have been as negative as we would have just packed it as long as we knew ahead of time. Again, they were nice, it was clean and it served its purpose.

    2nd visit here for my wife & I. Had a suite on 1st visit…read more-booked smaller room for a 3 day stay early June26. Wow - more like a closet; but managed. Needed to move bed from wall to get in-- very dirty! Hair, dust and food crumbs were an unpleasant surprise. Bathroom vanity under sink also dirty along with a filthy hair dryer & hair on bathroom floor. Finally, dried ice cream on the dining table. Wanted to voice cleaning concerns to front desk, but no one there until the morning of checkout. Great location as noted, but for the price expected better quality.
