Horrible, unsanitary, full of bugs, and rude and unprofessional staff
Pros:

Did not like anything. DO NOT STAY HERE. Bookings should remove this location

Cons:

From May 17–28, 2026, I paid Sands Motel $871 for a two-week stay. During check-in, staff pressured me to sign a contract without allowing me to review a copy first, claiming it was company policy to provide it only after signing. After entering my room, I immediately found unsanitary conditions, including foul odors, bugs, and what appeared to be feces. I reported the issues, but staff stated housekeeping would not be available until the next day. As the night continued, I encountered more bugs and more bug bites, requiring medical attention. When I attempted to leave and requested a reasonable compromise, management only offered two additional rooms, both of which had similar cleanliness and hygiene problems. I stayed in Rooms 116 and 114, which also lacked basic amenities such as accessible power outlets near the bed. The motel failed to provide safe, clean, and habitable accommodations as advertised. I reported the matter to Booking.com, BBB, local authorities, and police. No one has resolved this issue yet. The business should not exist and ahould be shut down immediately.

Pros:

The first time we stayed there the room was nice but now I'm realizing it's a stage room cause the next time the room was not as nice but the rooms are big and the bed was decent the showers are god pressure

Cons:

The second room was dirty I had to clean it the room had little roaches alot of them you can't leave any food out your feet will turn black due to it not being clean they don't give enough towels i called tobask for late check out and they said yes then all of a sudden the father was banging on the door and said no so I had to rush police where outside harassing people they did not care about the roaches and the lighting is only the lights in the ceiling the stage room had lamps as well so it was either full force lighting or darkness

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Great, beautiful location and very nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff !
Pros:

First room we got wasn’t too clean and we seen a few bugs but then we switched rooms; second room was very nice, clean and updated. Some of the other guests there seemed sketchy but overall I would go back. Office lady was soooo nice and accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was right. She’s great. Will go back and do recommend.

Cons:

Bugs
