The Coral Sands is perfect!
Everything is spotless at the Coral and it is the perfect affordable place to stay near the boardwalk in OCNJ. The manager, Greta Markova, is simply outstanding and will do everything possible to make your stay perfect. The rooms were renovated and modernized a few years ago and it’s better than ever!

Bed was definitely firm but not too bad, pillows were like cotton balls, internet wasn’t great, but that’s all the negatives everything else was great. Staff was amazing - the lady at the front desk was great!

Would stay again ! Cleaning lady was very nice!
Only complaint is the shower head looked like mold or mildew on the head of the shower , but everything else was great in the room! Front desk lady wasn’t friendly when we were leaving. But other than that I would definitely recommend this place and already having my grandparents booking there soon. The room was very clean !

We got upgraded to a bigger room before check in since there was a booking issue.
It was nice the hotel contacted us before arriving. The room was great. the area is close to everything you would need.
The only complaint is the beds are a bit uncomfortable.

A great pet friendly option! I love the old school, simple beach stay this place provided. It was clean, the staff was very kind, and it was close to the boardwalk. My dog and I had a great time!

Close to the boardwalk.
Nice little motel just a block from the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Complete with parking and close to just about everything. Before we went there we read up about the wonderful hospitality of Greta and were certainly not disappointed.
All in all a pleasant place to stay.
