Guest Reviews
- Rita (10/5): - Customer service great
- Tracy Anne (2/5): - I left after 30 minutes and went to another hotel. The place was a filthy, dirty dump. With broken doors, missing window shades, smelled of urine and smoke. The furniture was old and so dirty with burn holes and springs poking out. I found hair all over the bathroom floor. Neither the front or back doir was secure. The grounds were unkept, the patio was filled with drunken people yelling out, when we walked by one guy made a comment about my ring. So unsafe. And when I went back to the office and said I couldn’t stay there due to how dirty it was she said ok. Then when Expedia called to see what happened they said I stayed the entire 4 days. I was checked in somewhere else and it was only day 1. The pictures are not ANYTHING like the place so misleading. Don’t risk your life at this place.
- Daniel (8/5): - Very old property, but spacious room. Needs tlc badly.
- Jose (2/5): - The hotel was close due to the hurricane but the app still booked our room we had to find another hotel that was a hour away and it cost way more we arrived at the other hotel at 2 am u guys should have known that it was closed this was a very hardship on or try
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel was very old and dated limited parking and dirty I had to clean the hotel room myself sweep mop and wipe the furniture down.
- glenn (8/5): - The property is well established and has a wide range of facilities on site.check in was straightforward and the staff very helpful. The beach is easily accessible at the rear of the property. Extra parking is across the road. Overall the site was quiet. An enjoyable experience.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - We have been coming here for years. We have never seen this place in such bad shape. Cigarette butts were everywhere even in the pool. The grass was very high and sandspurs were everywhere. The first room we were put in had such an awful smell. We asked to be moved to a different room and they moved us with no issues. The second room smelled fine but was not very clean. The bottom of our socks got dirty from the floor. The outlets were not very good. Our chargers wouldn't even stay in the sockets. We tried to sit in one of the chairs and kept feeling like something was biting us but we couldn't see anything. There are so many other things too both inside and outside the motel. We checked out early.
- Chris (6/5): - Worth the money but really needs some TLC. The staff was great.
- Amanda (6/5): - Not bad for the price. Clean sheets and bed spread. Fresh paint on the walls. Bathroom not in the greatest shape. Love the little kitchenette area. Not a bad stay, front desk was very helpful. Not a place to spend a week, but a few days would be ok.
- Yenifer (8/5): - The good it’s near to the beach and the room has everything for the confort to the family, cookware, living room etc. Bad It's a pity that it is very neglected. There is a lot of garbage in the areas.
- Linda (6/5): - This is a wonderful location for a vintage property. Just thinking they let maintenance slide during this shoulder season. We love the old , but the old needs paint and chairs and cushions need homes vs being scattered. I get we have had some storms come through, but these are simple fixes. The staff was wonderful!
- Susan (4/5): - I knew I wasn't paying a lot, but honestly, very little money has been invested in this property to bring it up to being at least acceptable. The moldy rug on balcony in standing water rendered balcony unusable. Broken vertical blinds, plastic mattress cover under sheet...just a few of the problems. It was clean and in a great location. No odors or bugs.
- irene (2/5): - Hair on the shower wall, dirty shower curtain, paint peeling in the bathroom tub, walls by the front door, stained furniture. Come to find out they are tearing this property down in December. I wouldn’t recommend this to my worst enemy.
- VIRGINIA (6/5): - Priced reasonable, needs updated, can’t complain about the location. Beds comfortable, provided clean towels everyday. Location and pool are great!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Came to book again - Another beautiful stay at the amazing Sands. There was a slight snafu but the mgr was willing to work the situation out with me. The rooms could be cleaner, but I get its a smaller property with few employees.
- Stephanie (4/5): - Property was not as advertised
- Michael (10/5): - Historic property right on the beach
- Stephanie (10/5): Everything I expected.. and more - If you're coming to this 77yo property looking for shiny perfection, this is not the spot for you. The humans were awesome, view was perfect, pool was comfortable and the sand was steps away allowing an amazing FL sunset to shine thru whilenfloating 8n the pool. They had sand and pool toys/games to borrow, volleyball court and more. It may not be considered "immaculate," but The Sands has so much character and energies. I'm not sure why people write such bad reviews. You're not going to pay so "little" and get a corporate ran place. But you will get a more homey experience and down to earth people. You get what you pay for, but in this case, we definitely came out happier and more calm than expected.. oh! My kid loves they still have keys 😂 he's known nothing but key cards. I wish this treasure could be around forever.
- Lisa (4/5): - Pool was closed for 2 of our 4 day stay because fecal matter was contaminating the pool water. Wifi is spotty. TV in bedroom did not work. People outside room loud most of our stay. Parking horrible. AC is old and probably needs filter changes because our noses were stuffed every morning. Very very old. Needs to close as planned to become The Sands by Hilton.
- Joseph (10/5): - Old florida beachy feel. Love this place . If i absolutely had to list one thing that i dont like is just that the parking is little tuff but even that isnt that bad. Love this place
- Tricia Sue (6/5): - Other than having to ask for coffee everyday, it was a nice stay.
- Amanda (8/5): Ocean front hotel - Oceanfront hotel. It’s an older complex but our room was clean. Nice area. Nice stay.
- Melissa (10/5): - I hope this place never goes away. It’s a dream. And Izzy at the front desk was awesome .
- Sherry (6/5): - Perfect location, very friendly people, wasn’t bad by any means but rooms are def run down. Funky smell and blinds were falling apart so everyone walking bout could see in our room.
- Andre (8/5): - Nice vintage resort. My second time here.
- Iliana (2/5): - Very old a/c and beds terrible
- Crystal (2/5): - Save your money and stay somewhere else. This property is nothing like the pictures on the website. This place is rundown and dirty. The beds are uncomfortable and when we unfolded the sleeper sofa to use it a dust cloud happened. The bathroom is dirty and small and when we opened the stove in the kitchen it had at least 2 inches of grease in the bottom of it and smelled terrible. I would not recommend staying here at all. We couldn't find anything good about the place. They only have a small amount of parking spots out front which fill up quickly, so you have to park down the road and walk. The pool was dirty and didn't even smell like it had chlorine in it. The rooms smelled bad and had sand and dirt all over the floors at check in.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Disappointed - The room was poorly advertised as the pics depicted a very updated room. The floor was very dirty, our feet were black, the bed was comfortable because it was soft but the air congruent work well, The bathroom was dated and needed repair work, cracked drywall, stained tub etc. it said ocean view but we could barely see a slight view of the ocean that was far away and had to be walked to and blocked by the trees and part of the hotel and etc. We were disappointed and went to as mother hotel for the remainder of our stay.
- Rhonda (8/5): - Very outdated and not super clean. But the price reflected. On a good note the beach is very close and there are great places to eat close by.
- Billy (2/5): - What happened ? The employees was fantastic, the owners let this place go down hill
- Lawrens (10/5): - The gentleman that helped me in the front office was awesome. The hotel is dated and the beds were not comfortable but the customer was outstanding and the location was amazing and it was also clean. For the price I paid it was a good deal.
- Wagner (10/5): - Very nice and very nice people
- Alisha (6/5): - The sands is a really great place to visit in Florida
- Lisa (10/5): - I’m definitely not a fancy type of person, cheap room, called for a remote and someone was right there to give us another one
- Michael (10/5): - Conveniently located a d beachfront! Built in 1947 and its got a very cool retro vibe! I'd go again!
- Amy (8/5): Retro but simple - The property wasn’t too bad being 77 yrs old but some simple maintenance would make it easier on eyes. It’s hard not to notice ceiling paint peeling dramatically in some areas and all the AC units looked like they were rusted trash in the walls. I liked the courtyard and how they really stayed with the retro style chairs. The walk to beach was long but right in your backyard and the pool was nice. Staff were all friendly and talk to you. My one and only DISLIKE was the parking situation. There are only 10-12 spots in front of hotel then the rest are across street down one block and it’s a busy street to cross. My stay was nice and I enjoyed having the apartment style room so we could cook.
- Carmine (4/5): - Location was the only asset of this hotel. Proximity to beach was great.
- Morgan (10/5): - Comfortable room, close to the beach, nice pool. Great spot
- Chelse (10/5): - Loved it here overall. The mini fridge could’ve worked better and same for the AC, but overall it was a nice stay. The staff were very friendly and the place was cool.
- Dmitry (10/5): - Nice location very friendly staff
- Fred (8/5): - Great location easy going crowd and staff. Amazing looking great deal
- Tim (10/5): - Great room
- Alisha (10/5): - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the property is right on the beach with a nice view.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - This was a terrible place to stay. There was mold in the bathroom, paint hanging from the ceiling. The headboard was peeling. The side walk was uneven and dangerous. There was a giant cockroach in the bedroom. It was terrible
- Daniel (10/5): l - A nice day at a beach hotel that was reasonably priced. Needs updating but I only needed hotel for the bed which was fine. Had a full size refrigerator and a stove.
- Christy (2/5): DO NOT STAY HERE! - Absolutely terrible experience! The property was dirty and gross, nothing like the pictures portrayed. It feels like a complete fraud. There are rumors circulating that the property is slated for demolition in Fall 2024, making it seem like they're just taking your money for nothing.
- Micki (4/5): - The positive: the view of the beach from our room was nice. The workers were friendly. The beds was very comfortable. The location was perfect and the beach was beautiful. The negative: the refrigerator didn’t work so we lost the perishables we had purchased. The desk person tried to give directions on how to get it working…pretty sure I knew more than he did. Then the refrigerator leaked water halfway across the room, and it stunk. The shades fell down when we tried to open them. The lock on the door wad almost impossible to open. The grounds were dumpy looking. I’m sure at one time they were great. Parking was a block down the street. Sidewalks were dangerously uneven and the walkway was littered with miscellaneous cleaning buckets, brooms, toilet brushes, etc. It didn’t look like anyone really cared about the place.
- Cristina (6/5): - This property was so old, pictures looked good online but when we got there, the room was old, but clean as clean could be I guess. Still looked like stuff from the 70s. There were stains on furniture and it felt gross. The area is great and the beach is a few steps away which is great. Definitely an old beach motel with decor from the day it opened. Check in was good and everyone was nice.
- cammi (10/5): - Loved it there!
- Dale (10/5): - Beach is beautiful and staff were very friendly and helpful
- Jennifer (8/5): Historic stay - Great stay the staff was friendly and check in was quick. I love that's there no requirement for deposit and resort fees. This is a very old hotel. If you are expecting modern and 5 star accommodations for the price they charge skip this place you are not going to get it. They could do better with the cleaning. The floors were dirty and the kitchen stove and fridge were not wiped down properly. The location was ideal right on the beach and quick 5 min drive to Johns Pass . There's isnt much room in front of the building for parking which makes loading and unloading your stuff difficult. However I additional parking is in a cover lot which helps keep your vehicle cool from the heat. I honestly think if they just spent some quality time just replacing the broken blinds and slight touch up to the rooms. Would definitely help with getting repeat busy. Overall I would stay again just for the nostalgia and location.
- Ariana (8/5): - Our first impression with the staff was amazing, so friendly and makes connections. The cleanliness of the rooms fell short. There were hair bows on door knobs from prior guests. There were glow sticks on the floor from an aparent rager. The floors did seem to have a film on them from a cleaning product residue so we kept our socks on. We had a room with windows and they opened to get an amazing ocean breeze. We saw the effort and appreciated everything. Would return.
- scott (10/5): - The people and the view
- Patrick (6/5): - Nice older renovated beach hotel, could use better cleaning methods no personal laundry onsite also full kitchen but no real cookware, plastic plates cups. Great people working there helpful nice. Beach Access great
- Michelle (10/5): - Close to beach
- Robert (8/5): Felt like home - Let’s face it. The place was built in 1947. While I think they have done a good job keeping it up things a still a little outdated and old. Was there for a cousins wedding. The place felt very homey. Like I was staying at a family members house and sitting in the courtyard was like sitting on their back porch.
- Raymond (4/5): - Stripped of furniture
- Marc (2/5): - 2 words - Whata Dump. We found out they are tearing the place down in August and its obvious they are neglecting its current state. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging the current rate. Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay.
- Patricia (2/5): - Nothing very disappointing… old stains on kitchen table sticky coffee table… beds were harder than a rock
- Tammy (10/5): - This place is a quaint luttle gem. Everything was perfect. The safe is friendly and the beach amd pool amazing.
- LISA A (2/5): - Very run down could have cleaned up garbage laying around or broken furniture to make it nicer but didn’t. Blinds all messed up so people could see right into room at night. Doors didn’t stay closed. Aeful
- Ludwig (6/5): - Extremely outdated ,if you're looking for luxury, this isnt the place. Location to the beach is excellent.
- SUE (8/5): - the people were very nice & friendly. Big comfortable rooms. Air conditioner in bedroom was a little noisy.
- Jessica (6/5): - A retro gem if right next to the beach with a nice pool. Not a lot of bells and whistles if you need that kind of thing, but the front desk is always welcoming and it's a relaxing atmosphere.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location. Everything needs updating but they kept it comfortable and were friendly. It is being torn down at the end of summer so that explains the lack of updates.
- Angela (8/5): - Very nice staff. Room was spacious and clean. The king size bed was so comfortable. I hear they will be updating. Limited parking but extra parking was very close and covered. Look forward to returning again. Beautiful view of beach and oceans and beach very close.
- Diana (6/5): - The Sands is a very old property, it shows its wear. The people were very nice, the room was large and clean. It was right on the beach and that’s what we were looking for. Don’t think I would return there as I found other places that were comparable in price that were nicer.
- Paola Ixiel (10/5): - The place is just infront of the beach. It´s incredible. It has a good swimming pool. All staff very kind.
- Lance (10/5): - very nice clean easy to get to beach
- Terry (8/5): - Loud people would be at the pool long after it closed
- Kimberly (10/5): - The proximity to the beach
- Cherise (8/5): - Very un kept run down needs a lot of updating beds uncomfortable grass has not been cut in months. Bags of sand and mulch laying around broken concrete and brick pavers
- Ron (8/5): Historic Sands - Stayed at Sands numerous times. Location is great. Property is old but charming. New paint improved the looks. Staff is super accommodating. Courtyard, new fence around the pool, shaded lounge/eating space are all appreciated.
- Odette (6/5): - The property is a vintage hotel and it shows. It’s outdated and needs repairs, updating and a thorough cleaning. People were nice and accommodating but the property left a bit to be desired.
- Susan I (8/5): - Parking was a bit of an issue and walk to the beach was a ways to go. Not really ideal for those with physical challenges. Beautiful location. Nice pool. They are closing and rebuilding in August. We enjoyed the old florida charm.
- Michele (8/5): Great stay - We had a great time. 3rd time staying it’s not luxury but perfect for us and view and short walk to beach. We just need a place to sleep and cook some meals with lots of family and friends and it is great for us. They are doing all they can even tho they are tearing it down in few months. So sad to see it go. Running out of small cheaper places to stay for our large group. Staff always friendly.
- darlene (10/5): - Like this Old Floridian style.
- Lynn (8/5): - Staff members were all wonderful
- Luisa (8/5): - Like cause u are close to the beach. The view if u have balcony. The size of the room was spacius Not like cause was found two old bottles in the room; meaning housekeeping didnt check well.
- Jamey (10/5): - It’s so sad that after 77 years they will be closing in August…we would have definitely been back. Good Luck to the properties next adventure!! Wonderful Place!!!
- Pam (2/5): - Worst motel ever!
- PATRICIA (8/5): Nice & Clean - Very nice room. Good kitchen. There weren't any plugs in the bathroom for a hair dryer.
- Melissa (4/5): Great location. BASIC. Not luxury. - The parking on site is limited. Off site parking is close but requires a walk across a busy street. Room was clean when we arrived however house keeping was very limited during our stay. Kitchen and living room are great amenties. Cable did not work in bedroom. Walls are thin so you can hear neighbours. Door locks not optimal. However, if you want to spend minimal time in your room and bask at the beach cheap. This is an option to consider. Walkable to restaurants, stores, bars, grocery and pharmacy. Beach is fabulous. Staff are friendly and it is a chill relaxed vibe.
- edward (8/5): - Staff is fine, this is a 1947 property that has not been upgraded, or maintained.I would not stay here again.
- victor (10/5): Amazing stay at a great combination of old and new - Great stay at a fun, relaxing, step back in time. This place has been updated more than enough to be on the same level as most newer hotels, but they can’t match the feel and charm of staying somewhere like here. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and have a vast knowledge of the area. They can point you in the right direction for any activity or dining you’re looking for. The hotel itself is an amazing combination of time capsule and modern amenities. The heated pool looks out to the beach, just past the pedestrian path that will take you almost anywhere you want to get on the island. The sunsets are gorgeous, the location is amazing, and the staff and other guests we met were great.
- Trevor (2/5): - I liked the short walk to the beach/ocean. Room was extremely dirty, door barely stayed shut, you could wiggle open when locked. The shades were all broken, so you had no privacy after dark, and the noise after hours was not addressed.
- Robert (4/5): Good Location, Terrible Hotel - Location was the only good thing. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. The sheets felt like sandpaper. The room wasn't cleaned during our stay. Parking was inconvenient.
- Brendan (8/5): - The property was what it was like back in the day, but clean and close to the beach. The Staff very friendly and helpful.I would come back again.
- Wylie (10/5): - The staff were very friendly. Property is older but unique and clean, Great location.
- Victor (8/5): - Typical “old Florida” property. Excellent location on the beach. Apparently closing after season and new building going up. Maybe condos?
- Diane (6/5): - This property is very old. It’s being sold and is barely being maintained. Staff is very nice.
- Ronald (6/5): - Property is in a great location close to beach with nice pool. Its an older motel and needs a lot of updates.
- Sophia (8/5): Right on the beach - Raining and cold weather but really enjoyed the outdoor heated pool in the rain. Nostalgic hotel from the past and direct access to the beach which was why we picked it. Big room with basic older furnishings and clean.
- Reinaldo (10/5): - Nice place to stay, very calm It’s an older building, but it’s well maintained for its age
- Joanna (10/5): - We had such a wonderful time there. We were able to enjoy the company of family amd friends. I would definitely recommend this stay and plan to stay again soon.
- Alyssa (10/5): Great Florida beach gem! - This hotel is classic Florida. A mom and pop place. All staff were friendly and helpful. Our TV didn’t work. Within 10 min we got another. It was clean relaxing, on the beach and boardwalk. We loved the retro beachside place as opposed to a huge, sterile high rise resort. Unfortunately the Sands sadly closes in August a victim of a corporate grab. The family will make money but they said it was bittersweet losing the property. We will miss it. It will remain a good memory of “old” classic Florida.
- Lynn (6/5): - This is not the fanciest place to stay on the beach. Our first room was dirty and we needed to be changed to another room our second room was very clean very plain there is nothing fancy about this place. It is perfect for a couple days stay if you are on a budget and you want to be able to walk straight out to the beach. This facility really needs some updating and I would say the rooms really need to be upgraded in decor. I understand the hotel is 77 years old but for the location and price you pay to stay that hotel could have so much more potential. The best thing about this place is it's directly on the beach and that the front desk was available 24 hours so if I had any issues no matter the time the nice lady in the front was always there to help me. All the people that work ,pare all very nice and sweet, friendly. It's a little run down it really needs some TLC and I hope the owners read this and give that building what it needs cuz it could be a diamond in the rough. It would look 10 times better even with Dollar store decor. Those rooms could be made to look really cute. I didn't mind parking down the street it really is not that far like people like to act it's really close not far at all. I would stay here again but only if it was my last resort.
- Susan (10/5): - Easy access to walking path and beach.
- Mitzi F (8/5): - Loved the beach access. Property needed a good handyman since we had problems with key in doorknob and light bulb was burned out in entrance Staff very friendly.
- ROBERT (10/5): - Excellent beach access and great staff!
