Hey great value the bed was extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and we all know it is not a super expensive hotel so keep it all in perspective.

Sands Motel
Awesome for when I needed a motel on short notice and it was cheap so I appreciate that a lot. Dirty but a few towels were clean, unopened cups, and hand soap. TV, microwave, fridge, hot water, and cozy beds. Better than I expected!
The hotel does not look like the images that were put online. Floor was not clean, tub was clogged (I don’t even know what was clogging it, it was disgusting. The girls and I needed up taking our bags and headed to the Hampton.

Great prices those kind of noisy at night with neighbors otherwise not much else rubes was great heating and cooling wasn't the best but for 40 bucks it fit the budget
Overal maintenance was perfectly clean including bed covers and towels. One thing that was disappointed was there's no electric socket in bathroom (for drying hair)
The man at the front desk was about as professional as they come. He was ready for me when I walked in the door. Quick and clean. The only issue I had was there weren't any towels or wash clothes in the room.

The property was great for the price. Room was quiet even when the trains would pass behind the old motor inn. Never heard a train whistle until the next day after i checked out and was driving through town.

The manager guy was nice it was a decnt convienent location. But when people. Can just walk into your room twice in the coarse of being there for less then 10hours doesnt make for an enjoyable stay would not reccomend
