IF and when you do stay here, pack your patience and some bug spray, staff - not so inviting or happy, amenities - white towels gone bad, sheets and blankets, let's just say they should use black sheets .. if you know, you know. The location was the best part, and it was pretty ghetto. Best of luck!
The bed had stains on the sheets, and hairs behind the pillows, the bathroom toilet had brown crust :(, and the floor was dirty too as well as the inside of the drawers but we didn’t use them, it smelled humid, but it is a motel so .-. It served its purpose, we took extra blankets and bed sheet to put over it. Parking was good, and close to all stores. The staff was nice but they woke us up the morning after our first night and said we needed to vacate because they didn’t make sure when we were supposed to leave / which was the following day, almost opened the door on us too😭
Mattresses in plastic make you feel weird .
If you really want to protect the customer from bags… buy a real plastic to cover., not the plastic from when you buy them.
Also … my Drivers licence was copied . Why? It never happened to me before when check in a hotel.
Overall a good experience. Close you will find a great cafe ( Mr. Baker)
Every thing clean ! Very quiet and safe! Parking great! Restaurant next great food ! Sands a very quiet and comfortable place to rest! Staffs great there very polite and helpful
The best budget flea bag I've ever been in. Special deal got me for five times 10 for the night. It's an older building but clean and the desk clerk on duty was very helpful and check-in was quick. Chances are good though. If the prices were higher I wouldn't stay.
Bring your own soap and shampoo
Best spot on the Mag. Clean and straggler free. Well lit for the parked car and well staffed for anyting that comes up. I stay at the Sands every week and will continue to do so.
