“Outdoor seating and great little continental breakfast”

I enjoyed the continental breakfast, standing shower and cleanliness. We had two double beds and we were very close to the wonderful beaches of Westerly as well as the Labor Day Rhythem and Roots Festival. The outdoor picnic bench and table Area were a nice touch noticed some outdoor grapevines and other hotel guests were friendly. Great rates after Labor Day too.

“Never again!”

When I entered my room and pulled down the bed covers, there were numerous spiders and very long, dark human hairs on the sheets and a live cricket under the pillows. There was NO internet capability (even though it was advertised as being available), and each day the maid would turn off my A/C even though I had left it on. This meant that late each night I returned after a very long, hot day's work with the room being warm. It took several hours to cool down sufficiently to allow me to sleep. I would certainly NOT recommend this hotel!

“Great place to stay, centrally located”

The owners were very courteous and friendly. It was a nice, quiet place to stay. Room was very clean and they accomodated our requests with smiles. Were very helpful with directions and places of interest. Hotel was centrally located near the beach and other attractions. Would definitely recommend to others and would like to go back next year!!

“Good Location, No Frills”

The location was on a main road, but set back so you didn't have traffic noise. The rooms are outdated but clean and offered a good place to crash after a day of being outdoors. The walls seemed thin, could hear nearby TV's, but no one made excessive noise. There was a fridge in the room, which was a nice touch. There is a sign posted that more than 2 guests are an extra charge, but I'm not sure how strictly that's enforced since there were only 2 of us. The staff was very nice when we checked in. We'd stay again, loved walking around downtown Westerly.

“Looking forward to spending some more summer nights there.”

If you are looking for a large expensive room this is not your spot. A reasonable place to stay after a day at the beach. They are located just minutes from the beaches as well as Mystic. Clean rooms private showers, color cable TV, A/C and a fridg. Praking just a few steps from your room. For the money a great place to crash after a day in the surf. The staff I spoke with were friendly and curtious. If you want to spend triple the money and be 10 minutes closer to the beaches go ahead but if you want a comfortable night sleep and have more spending money for your vacation then the Sand Dollar Motel is perfect!

“friendly owners”

The husband and wife were extremely welcoming and friendly but not intrusive. Also made an effort to help direct to points of interest when asked. The condition of the room, right next to the office, was in good condition despite the apparent age of the motel. I felt the grounds, though, could stand to be much improved upon. Although the room was nice and the people were friendly, we were surprised they charged extra when our two teenage children arrived to stay the next day because there was an extra double bed that was not being used. That's why we rate the overall satisfaction a three. I think the charge should be a flat rate based on beds available, not number of people staying. I know other hotels/motels do that.
