Family owned with wonderful guest service. Pet-friendly. Family-friendly. Well stocked with ice in the machines. Lovely room decor with a positive vibe and charming amenities you wouldn’t expect at a motel. Love the retro fridge! We will definitely stay at the Sands Motel again.

It was late and we wanted to stay somewhere quieter and less expensive than Vegas. I was so grateful she let us check in at 11:30 pm after a long day in Bryce Canyon. The madmen 50 motif was cool, plenty of plugs. Cute separate kitchen was great. Firm wonderful king bed. Actually way better than our Vegas room at the gold nugget /Carson tower

Very roomy and clean rooms with attention to all the details. They even had bumpers on the bed legs so you wouldn't hurt your toes if you stubbed them. We really liked the kitchen area with the retro fridge and microwave. It was a great place to spend the night.

Great little place to stay at. Easy walk to food/bars/coffee shop. My only con would be it's slightly noisy, but I would happily stay here again.

We enjoyed the nostalgic 70's 80's look. The room and surrounding area was clean and quiet, located close proximity to restaurants and bars. In the morning, 6am, the barking dogs and rude people beeping their horns was annoying. Also the A/C /Heater fan was noisy at all levels. All told I would stay here again.

My last stay was better. My room this stay wasn’t great. The TV had problems and the toilet bowl was loose. The shower head was way too low to enjoy a good shower. All that said, I will probably try them again in the future.

Our room was large! A king bed didn’t crowd it. The kitchen area with a mini frig with separate freezer, coffee pot and a microwave came in handy. The room has been redone with new carpet and flooring. The rooms were quiet with no noise from other rooms. But given that this is a motel with direct access from the lot (nice to be able to pull right into your own space and unload into the suite without stairs or walking a distance), there was some traffic noise from both the street and lot. It got quiet after 10 and wasn't an issue for us, but if you had a small kid trying to sleep early, it might be. The bathroom is small, but clean and functionable. Would definitely stay again if traveling in the area.

Very cool, comfortable place, but since it's a motel, the mornings are noisy. Also, there was no shampoo (good thing to know ahead of time).

The room was spacious and very clean. Check in was super easy. It is an older “motor court” motel” but appeared to be updated with fresh paint and carpet. Plus you can park right outside your room. We had scheduled a VRBO that canceled at the last minute so this was a lifesaver!
