The worst experience ever
Pros:

It was very clean

Cons:

The man at the front desk was very rude and he charged my card twice for my five night stay. Then when I extended my stay he told me check out is 11 and check in is 3 pm and he made me an my baby wait in 102 degrees for a hour until I asked did they have another room available and he said the maid didn’t come today and put me back in the room I was in the worst experience I have ever been in a motel

Safe Car Parking
Pros:

The safety of my car is very important. Here at the Sands you park just feet from your room door. Imagine how nice for a motorcycle.
The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, the plumbing excellent.
I worried knowing a Casino was closeby, proved to be no problem. I actually WALKED right by it on my way to St. Michael Catholic Church for Sunday Mass.
The Sands Motel is an excellent location. After walking to Mass, I continued to a French bakery on Pacific Ave., then circled all through downtown before returning to the motel. How great to get in some walking exercise!
There is also an Indian Food truck on the property. I parked close to that to further protect my parked car, did not sample the food.
I would definitely return to the Sands Motel, Livermore, CA.

My stay was pleasant. I will definitely stay there again.
Pros:

I like the fact that I can pull right up to the door easy access to room

Cons:

My only wish was that there was a bedside lamp. I had to leave the TV on in order to have light in the room in case I have to go to the bathroom.

Super pour une nuit d'étape.
Pros:

Motel rénové et propre a 15 min a pied du centre ville (restaurants, bar, animations).
La propriétaire nous accueille avec le sourire et elle est très gentille.

Cons:

On est proche des places de parking donc quand les pick-up américains démarrent (tard le soir ou tôt le matin), c'est un peu bruyant. Sinon, rien d'autre a dire.

Excellent stay with friendly staff, great service, and outstanding value for money.
Pros:

This is the kind of classic motel you see in movies, with parking directly in front of the room. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful, and always willing to assist. The reception desk is open 24/7. Although daily housekeeping is not provided, they were happy to clean my room when I extended my stay. They also recommended several places to visit in the area over the weekend. Excellent stay, excellent motel — highly recommended.
