Overall very happy with our stay. We came in only for one night. Room rate was reasonable. Room was clean and air conditioner worked great. It is an older motel, but kept up and felt safe. Would stay here again.

The hotel for what it is was just fine. I kind of enjoyed the horns of the train going by in the middle of the night, really, I'm serious! Reminds me of home...if you're looking for a Hilton then go to a Hilton

Staff was great. Let me park my bike under the canopy directly in front of my room. The room was dated, but very nice. It’s an old roadside motel and great for the price.

Nice enough for budget stay, still too high in $

Friendly and clean - okay for budget stay but should be about $30 lower in rate for what you get. The overwhelming perfume, likely from carpet deodorant, is hard to take. They've done a good job with cleaning, a high spot for them, but other things take away from that such as broken door chain/hoop lock; cuts in curtains; peeling paint throughout room ceiling; carpet (needs replacing with linoleum), and; many other things like almost transparent towels and unattractive elements of the room including almost no light. I'd stay at again at lower rate but my wife would not (and she isn't overly picky.)

Adrien was wonderful! So accomadating! I happened on the Sands purely by chance when my car broke down and i couldnt have found a better place. She recommended a shop around the corner, who were very helpful, and when i couldn't get it fixed right away she had no problem extending my reservation for 2 more nights! Everything about this stay was wonderful! If i had to be stranded, im glad it was here!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Gentleman who checked me in was very nice, efficient, and helped me with suggestions on where to eat. The room was clean, with a coffee maker, coffee, microwave, and refrigerator. The AC unit was too small for the room and did not cool the room down for hours. The ceiling fan helped. Only one nightstand, and it had no lamp. There were no plug-ins near the bed. The lights on the desk and ceiling were very dim, so the room was pretty dark. No kleenex. The room was quiet. The TV (although smalk) worked well. Lots of channels but no HBO or other movie channels. Convenient parking right outside the room.

What’s wrong with this floor!

Motel was clean but the floor squeaked everywhere you walked. The lighting was poor-very dim. Walls are paper thin- heard every word of the next door neighbor’s fight. Water was hot and pressure was good.

This was rated a 10.??? We are not fancy people. This room had a very lumpy soft mattress. Extremely limited lighting. I’m certain the bathroom hasn’t been upgraded in 50 years. I have never sent a negative review previously.

The room had peeling paint on the ceiling and the bathroom walls. The bathtub needed to be replaced. We opted to not use it. The room had limited outlets. There was limited lighting, just in the room and bathroom. The little kitchen area did not have any lighting.

Terrible lighting; felt the springs in the mattress; three train whistle blasts in the middle of the night; no outlets for devices on two of the three walls in the main room; no lighting at all in the kitchenette. Worst motel experience in years!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motel is in desperate need of renovation inside and out. Our room was in poor condition and was missing furniture.. Even the window next to the door was cracked. The tub in the bathroom looked pretty nasty, but the hot water was surprisingly decent. The train rolls next to the building throughout the night, horn blaring. The bed was super springy and the pillows were very thin and flat. Overall, the room was clean enough, but we did regret booking here. Out of a 10 day Colorado road trip, this was the only room we considered going elsewhere, rather than staying.

The facilities are rundown and in poor condition. A MAJOR upgrade is needed if the Sands motel is going to continue to be a motel.
