"Sandpiper is nice...priced reasonably. It is clean and fairly quiet. Continental breakfast is very limited. The only real drawback was the slow wifi and 0-1 bar reception on my phone. Maybe because I was on the ground floor under a stairway. If the price was low enough I'd stay here again."

"We’ve stayed at The Corque Hotel many times and we love it. This time was s bit different. Both bathroom sinks did not have hot water, the toilet made bubbling sounds and 2 out of 3 lights in the bathroom did not work. We advised the young gentleman at the front desk and he apologized and stated “Hope next time is better” I actually hope that this was an isolated incident because it was disappointing."
