“A decent value for a hotel next to a beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

I stayed in this hotel on three occasions and in three different rooms. The hotel is in great location. It is located in second row from the beach and it is very close to the restaurants and bars in the pleasant community of Sunset beach.
The building is older and it is getting a bit worn out, especially the common areas. All rooms I stayed in were generally quite clean. The beds had good mattresses and good clean linen and towels. The bathrooms were good and always clean as well. Each room had balcony, small kitchenette, cable TV..… However, I was not too thrilled with the shower head as it spays low quantity of water under quite high pressure (a bit odd – but not a deal breaker). Also carpet in some of the rooms can be replaced and/or cleaned as well. I have never seen any “bugs” in any of the room I stayed in. You should ask to see several rooms as some are quite better than the others. The management and cleaning staff I found was always very nice and helpful. The best rooms are those facing the ocean. Some on the top floor even have peek-a-boo views of the ocean (…. do not expect “ocean view”). The rooms facing highway are noisier but surprisingly less noisy than we had expected to be and were OK. There is a free and decent Wi-Fi. Coin operated washer and dryer is located in laundry room on the parking level. There is plenty of free parking under and around the hotel.
This hotel is definitely not something special but it is one of the best values in this neighborhood, especially with the weekly rate. You get what you pay for and this is one of the cheapest hotels in Sunset Beach.
Bottom line: It is good for the money and the location.

Room Tip: The best rooms are on top floor and facing the ocean.

“Tramatized for Life!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

people found this review helpful

This is the most disgusting hotel I have ever seen. Beds were filthy with springs sticking out of mattress. Then to top it off we saw bugs between the mattress. Went to tell manager about the problem she had the nerve to say that we probably brought them with us. We were willing to pay for the night we stayed, but wanted to check out to find another hotel and she said she was going to charge us both nights. Run away as fast as you can. My ten year old was horrified.

“All we wanted and expected !!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011

To start with its a beautiful place located next to the beach.. not to forget SANATRA INN IS VERY POCKET FRIENDLY . I have been there in april 2011 with my husband . we have been offered with the best they could with the price we paid. My husband being allergic to dust was very concerned about the cleanliness and hygiene, thankx to the management our room was very clean be it the carpet, linen or towels. We really appreciated it as it made our stay very comfortable else my husband would have end up sneezing all night . the manager was very friendly and courteous . ocean view balconies was the place where me and my husband had a great time together !! i have great memories here ! I WOULD SAY ITS A PLACE YOU CAN HAVE GOOD TIME WITHOUT STRAINING YOUR POCKETS ... THUMBS UP FROM ME AND MY HUSBAND .

“I used to love it....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

My husband and I have stayed here at least 10 times in the last 10 years. The female manager has always been very nice. But, it has been going downhill over time. Our last trip, we paid 159.00 for the jacuzzi room (it's more like a bath tub). The jets worked maybe 10 minutes. I could not connect to the internet for the first 3 hours, and after a few calls to the front desk, the problem was solved. Also, the ice machine didn't work. The paint job is too many different colors to describe...although that has nothing to do with the quality of the stay. Bottom line is we used to love it, but, unless they fix what's broken...we won't be back!!

“YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

To call this place a motel is great, if you wanted something from the Bagdad slums,they have people who live there and leave there doors open so you can see right in and your first impression is the right one,run and run fast and far cars with so much dust on them that they must have been there for 5 years,guessing they belong to the live-ins there, preschool kids painted the exterior.the room had a slight stinch to it and as mentioned before in other reviews, the carpet needed replacing years ago, lighting needed to be brighter, with dark hallways and stairways
The ocean view is beautiful, that is if you stand on your girl friends shoulders and lean to the right and can look around the homes that virtuely block your OCEAN VIEW or if she stands on your head figuring that she is shorter then you.
Actually there is one good thing and that is the resturant north on PCH with the giant fish , I think it says SEAFOOD, we had one of the best dinners we had on vacation,great service and was not over priced, we arrived a little late,almost closing time but were greeted as if we were the first ones there,KUDO"S to them.
if I could give this place,(sanatra inn) a 1/2 point, that would be very gracious, not what you'd call a pearl of sunset beach
