I have stayed at Sifting Sands during the MSBike ride for a decade. My family likes the stay there. The pool is great. It's close to the boardwalk. And it a great place to bed down while visiting Ocean City. The rooms are small, but they've always maximized bed space.

The Sifting Sands Motel was nice and clean. Room decor was cute and it was great how close the boardwalk was to the motel. Only 1 1/2 blocks from the boardwalk, and there is a good breakfast place, Augies, only a block away.
