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!

You get what you pay for
Overall it was ok--After the holiday you save money of course-we rented the apartment-was roomy and dated but overall nice-the bathroom is very small-the worst was the beds-very uncomfortable and creeky like old frames and legs-could not get a good nights sleep at all-glad we onlt stayed one night---overall just expect to get what you pay for--if the beds were better would of been a much more enjoyable stay

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 !

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!

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.

The basics in a motel room. Double twin beds, mini fridge, microwave, tv and ac unit. The bathroom is a bit spacious and it was clean and ready when i checked in late afternoon. Parking is a bit tight but one can leave the vehicle ½ a block around the corner in a municipal lot. Check in was quick, there's a restaurant next door and the boardwalk is a block away. Dogs are welcomed with a fee. Enjoyed my stay in here.

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.
