Rooms were dated, but fairly clean. Overall appearances were that of an older motel. Service was helpful as we had been traveling and needed to get some sleep off the road. Parking lot was sketchy. There is a lot of potential for improvement which would make this place much more worth the money for the stay.

Stayed at Drifting Sands this past weekend. What a great find. I stayed for a 2024 planning retreat…had a perfect view of the ocean, sunrise, etc. the staff at the front office were welcoming and very friendly. Will definitely book again.

Beware!!! The rooms are getting pretty dated and not worth the cost and after staying at this location for the 4th time and always having a decent experience 5 days after my stay an email was sent to me and stated I was being charged $250 because other people staying there said we were smoking on the balcony witch never happened if it did I would totally be fine paying that so watch out for extra charges 5 days after checkout.. definitely my last stay

Great location to spend a beautiful sunny day at the Beach! Rooms could use some touch ups as the paint on the bathroom molding is falling off. Nice staff.

Stayed here at the beginning of November for a wedding. Staff was very helpful with accommodating an early check-in because our wedding’s time was bumped up at the last minute. Rooms were pretty clean, large, but a bit dated. Rates were reasonable. Biggest complaint was that the bed didn’t have a comforter, a cleaning lady walked in unannounced to our room, and the AC wasn’t the best. Overall a decent spot, considering if you’re in LBI, you hopefully won’t be spending much time in a hotel.

This place sucks. I booked it through a third party, and then they emailed me with a handful of new fees and restrictions. When I tried to cancel within 2 days of booking, they wouldn't waive a $25 cancellation fee. Stay AWAY.

I’ve been coming to the island for over 50 years, have stayed in many different places. Drifting Sands is by far the WORST. I don’t mind dated, I don’t mind the salt air mustiness of island life. BUT … I very much minded the dirty …
