Old man at the front desk is a liar. Made reservations for two people, went to check in, he says that we only made reservations for one person and tried to charge us double. Dirty old towels in the unit and the whole motel was completely empty. Best to stay away from this motel

The 2nd room was great. The first had a busted AC unit. That's fine, but the manager (owner) insisted it was in order and there is no other room and this is why he does not want Internet orders. After half an hour of fiddling around, he gave me another room...But, "don't touch th AC unit"... I decided not to call him on the accusation. Go where clients are welcome.

At checkin, said did mot have reservation . Very old hotel and clean but the cleansing agent was so strong, that eyes watered and we debated leaving. It was primarily in barhroom so kept that door closed and kept outside door open a long time. Bed was very comfortable so we slept well. Would not return here. TV nice but failed for a while but after satellite fixed, worked

I would not recommend this property. The motel clerk/owner was rude, said we only paid for one person (I paid online for 2), provided one bath towel, and the floor of the tub/shower was so wobbly that it was necessary to hold onto the grab bar and shower one handed. The only good point was a very nice Mexican restaurant a couple of blocks away - we had a great dinner but I would never stay at this motel again.

Sands is a classic Rt66 motel, but it needs a lot of TLC to bring it up from "rundown" to "iconic". The room seemed clean, but the table was sticky. Parking lot is dirty and broken up. Bathroom door had no latch let alone lock. It's located on the highway near the train tracks, so you expect it to be noisy. On the other hand, the refrigerator was new and the AC worked well, and the price was right.
