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.

No one there

We arrived just before 3 in the afternoon and found the officeclosed and a sign that said return at 3. We waited untill 5:30 with no answer to our phone calls nor did anyone show up to open the office. We left and found accommodation at another place. We want a refund.

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.

The room was clean. The bathtub/shower combo was in bad shape because the surface was worn badly. A security light above the outside walkway shined through the curtains all night. Not restful. No ice machine.

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.

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.

Hot room

It was a 95°+ day, we traveled all day and when we got to the room, the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on and it was so small it took almost all night to cool off. It was a terrible night stay.

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.)
