I would have slept in my truck instead of here.
Arrived at Sandpiper to find urine on toilet seat and blood splatters on sheets. Management was kind and helpful and moved us to new room. New room had dog poop (a lot of dog poop) on the enclosed patio dirt area. The room smelled of feces. Management was contacted again and we were promised a full refund. Spoke with owner and he was very apologetic. I was not going to post this review because I know it will hurt the owner;s business; however, promises were not kept and after waiting 9 days I have not received the promised credit to my credit card.

Not bad, but not Great!
The property is run down but it looks like they are working to freshen it up. We didnt feel completely safe with only a doorknob to lock the door. The employee unlocked the door without knocking in the morning which surprised us. Even though the property is old, it was clean and the beds were soft but comfortable enough. I hope they keep improving the property. I would still consider returning if they continue with improvements.

No hot water for shower. At 2:00am water came pouring down from the floor above us into the bathroom. Bathroom was flooded luckily most of the water landed in the shower area. When we reported this to the hotel owner he said someone should have told you about the hot water not working when you checked in. He was the one that checked us in the night before. I told him that the bathroom was flooded and kept us up all night while the water poured out of the ceiling and he stated thanks for the heads up Ill look into that. I informed him that we were not able to shower because there was no hot water and he stated well you should've waited a little longer for the water to heat up. We ran the water for awhile and it never heated up.Bad customer service from the hotel owner.

The facilities agent was very professional and courteous. The place is clean and organized, but aged. As long as that’s not an issue, it’s a fine place to stay.

A decent bang for your buck.
The sand piper was a quick trip, last minute, it was inexpensive, close to what we were up to for the day. Nothing fancy, but we were there just to sleep. For the price it was safe, decent and good people.

Property was an excellent choice for convenience between Joshua Tree & Palm Springs. Staff was WONDERFUL. Room was clean. Cabinet door was off a hinge, the room door was hard to lock ... small things that represent an overall need to fix stuff. Would have liked a better tour of facility and amenities but checked in late in the evening.

Scariest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. This hotel is nothing like the description. People standing outside all night. Adjourning rooms where you hear the other room’s tv all night. Absolutely don’t stay here

A horror!
No one was at the office to check in, so we left and drove on to another hotel.
