“The Sandbanks strikes me as a reliably dog-friendly spot, right across from the beach - that's a huge draw. I particularly appreciate the reported attentiveness of the staff; that can truly make or break a stay. The recent renovations to the bar and restaurant areas seem to have paid off, adding a touch of modern polish to the overall experience.”

The staff was very friendly and helpful! my room was super clean, i loved that parking was easy on a side street. I did not have to pay. it was a very enjoyable stay, i look forward to visiting next year!
The room was very hot, and the window opened onto a fire exit stairway accessible by the public. no fans were available for cooling the room. I found this to be quite inconvenient.
