Guest Reviews
- Fajuan (1/5): Our stay was shitty. - We didn’t like anything there. There was mold all over the bathroom. The front desk person was rude and didn’t provide us with any information. The room was not anything like the photos.
- Lane (1/5): It was the most awful stay of my life. So dirty you couldn’t even take your socks off. Please don’t. - Nothing The most filthiest room I have ever stayed in stains all over the door, the AC unit carpet walls and to top it off the hot water in the shower didn’t even work. Super outdated ran by owners that clearly don’t care about cleanliness.
- Rodriguez (1/5): bed bug incident . - price. bed bug incident.
- Holloway (10/5): - Everything No breakfast
- JOVANNY (10/5): -
- Ralph (8/5): -
- Johnny (7/5): -
- Joebani (1/5): Never again - Nothing The rooms have a weird smell to them one of the rooms we got the blankets had cigarettes burn marks on it we ended up booking another hotel instead.
- Victoria (1/5): - I was told that there was plumbing issues and I couldn’t stay at this hotel because they had no other accommodations for me and I would get a full refund if I just canceled the reservation the day before I was going to be staying there and I still haven’t got a refund.
- Chris (1/5): - Nothing It was dirty and there were bugs
- Tricia (6/5): The Sands Rude motel - The cleaning Lady was very kind. The Manager was very Rude and controlling. Everything didn't work in the room.
- Browneyez951 (1/5): Expensive, definitely not worth it - The bed and pillows were comfortable. The TV wasn't working, there was no hot water so I took a cold shower. The outlets were not working. They only had 1 sheet along with a what seemed to look and feel like a curtain.
- Co. (4/5): -
- Marissa (1/5): Place was dark and dumpy management was not only unfriendly but also hostile and insulting - It was inexpensive Management behavior was inexcusable and they were not only rude, but seemed to be hostile towards guests as well. even before checking out, I could sense that they were going to try to take my money and they in fact did attempt to keep the deposit due to claiming that the room was too messy not damaged but “dirty “ . They stated that the room had to look exactly the way it looked when checking in. I could only assume that meant making the bed with our dirty sheets and the comforter and taking out the trash as well as having no dirty towels on the floor because other than that, can’t quite see what the problem was and I’ve absolutely never been told such a thing it was $100 deposit
- Campos (10/5): Wonderful - Very calm and quiet No dislikes at all.
- Campos (10/5): -

- Austin (2/5): - Leaving The owner tried to charge a 100.00 deposit when it clearly does not state anything about a deposit on booking.com. it wasnt until I threaten to call the police that he actually thought, it would be easier for him to just give me the room I paid for then to get authorities involved.

- Marielisbet (1/5): Aweful and online pictures are misleading. - Nothing, all bad. This property was run down. Leaking pipes and water in front of bathroom door. Walls were dirty and had holes, especially in the bathroom. Towels looked old and bath tube was peeling, I did not feel safe showering. No blanket and two small pillows for a king bed was ridiculous. They charged for ice and one of the bedside lamp didn’t work. I definitely do not recommend this property.

- Kevin (8/5): - The tv didn't work and air took forever to get cool in the room
- Prichard (3/5): Disappointed traveler - Close to destination. Opened drawer and there was used condom and something else that didn't look right.
- Lilian (1/5): - The shower head wasn’t working, the mattress having the plastic made it so uncomfortable to sleep, the smoking smell was just disgusting
- alfredo (8/5): - Close to mall and pleanty of food choices in the area
- Michelle (8/5): -
- eulalia (2/5): - Rud front desk
- Hugo (2/5): - If you're looking for a 'sands' experience, you're better off going to an actual beach. This place was a disaster from start to finish. Walking into the room felt like stepping back into a forgotten era—and not in a charming way. The walls were grimy, the chairs and table looked like they hadn't seen a cleaning rag in ages, and don't even get me started on the 'towels' I wouldn't use them to wash my car. The amenities? A joke. The blow dryer was DOA, and the light fixture was a bug graveyard. I'm pretty sure I saw more insects than hotel staff during my stay. Honestly, I've stayed in cleaner hostels. Save your money and sanity; avoid this place like the plague.
- Raymond (10/5): - Great customer services always
- Diane (10/5): - Off the fwy and the 9rice was goid
- Mark (10/5): - Clean room great staff. The only issue I have is with understanding Expedia charged me twice plus the motel charged my card 50.00 for the night ending up costing 180.74. very confused on that aspect will be Checking this out tomorrow morning
- Kenneth (4/5): - Towels were very stained. We were greeted by a live coach roach. Drawers we dirty. Tub was stained. At 1:34 on Saturday morning they started working on the room directly above us.
- Mark (10/5): - Entire stay was excellent.
- Diamond (2/5): - Check in process was pretty unpleasant and awkward. I gave them my card that they charged a $100 as a deposit to and instructed me to come back to checkout in person so they can refund me the money. Upon checkout they argued with me about the deposit until they re-read the receipt they gave me when they charged my card and then gave me my money back and acted like it was my fault? Very strange to stay at a location where it seemed I was a massive inconvenience. Room was smelly and the shower would not drain. We alerted the front desk who said they would send someone but no one ever came. So we weren't able to shower during our stay. Please note that there are also no provided hangara and they do not have any hangers or iron to borrow during your stay. Pretty easy location with access to the freeways and free parking though?
- Jennifer (4/5): - in the head. Had to pay for ice from their ice machine. One good thing was there
- Rodriguez (1/5): - I like the location Staff isn't too friendly or good with communication
- Arturo (1/5): -
- JAMES (10/5): - Nice motel and very quiet
