Clean and peaceful place to stay.

The Sands hotel is a quiet place to stay without any traffic coming in and out but the rooms are very small. I would recomend it to people being clean over all.

Our room didn’t have a normal size door, so you feel pressured to enter the room, the room just let you feel cheap and not welcome feeling. You can hear almost everything from neighbors, and we unfortunately had very bad neighbors for first few days, there were yelling and arguing all the night. Got headaches due to bad sleep. We won’t stay there again

Room was ok but now for the price , wouldn’t stay here again. Smelled a lot like cigarettes after I requested a non-smoking room , parking was horrible… owners knocked on my door constantly in the morning up until 11pm at night when already sleeping to move my car for property family convenience. Restroom carried a smell of urine, in the shelf that has a cabinet, had something in little bags. (looked like drugs) just overall a 1/10. Would not recommend!
