Sands Motel

a clean no frills place to stop for the night. great staff.

The staff was great, both times I've stayed there. Flys were bothersome, but I was able to take care of that myself. (Doors must be open for some reason during the day.)It's very inexpensive, but I saw painting and improvements being made.

The bathtub was old and disgusting. I could not even shower. No coffee pot. One of my rooms had no hot water and the water was off in both rooms that morning but they did get it back on.

The Sands doesn't look like much as you pull in, but the rooms have updates and are clean. We have stayed several times, as it's one of the cheapest places in town and is a good value for travelers who don't mind funky/older places. We even like that the train tracks are right out back. When we hear the horn or feel the rumble, we walk out to see/feel the trains blowing through town. For coffee,tea, bevs, snacks and gas, there's a decent Love's literally across the street, and there's a nicer Pilot a half mile away.

Tremendous: Parking close to room!

No breakfast, No hot water for shower, No television. Place was a 'ump', need I go on ?

There was nothing to like about the motel. I felt bad for the guy/owner/manager who was trying to fix things

It is a no frill motel but the bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, and the staff bent over backwards to help with a key problem.

The best part about this place is the price - 32$ including tax is insane. And despite the low price you get everything you accept from a motel including fridge, microwave, comfortable bed, proper shower with toiletries. Some more expensive motels don't have those.

The ceiling was not in the best condition, the noise from the trains is disturbing and there's nothing around.

Location was good. Near the freeway

Just kind of a dump
