Disliked: Cleanliness
The motel was just across the lake where the water park is. The location was the most attractive point of our stay! The cleanliness is not the strongest feature of the motel, but there was a kitchen and where to sleep, so we didn’t care much for the room itself. Overall, we liked our trip and we will come back again!

Place is a bit run down, I feel like the price I paid didn’t reflect the state of the property. The mattress was an old spring mattress and not comfortable…. But the pool area was nice and clean and the temperature was just right to cool off in.

The staff at the Golden Sands are great. Very helpful and friendly. The mattress of our hide-a-bed wasn't good and they sorted it out for us. The location right across from the lake is amazing. And although I don't have dogs, I love how they're allowed to stay too. I'll be back for another stay.

This was a truly exceptional room for the price. More like an apartment, and in much better shape than the outside of the building would suggest. Very clean also. Nice staff, too. Highly recommend.

This motel was decent if you need a dog friendly place. The A/C only worked in the bedroom not the rest of room. And you have to wash your own dishes or charge you. But the bed was comfortable and it had a kitchenette.

Great location as there is a paved walkway and sandy beach for swimming right across the road. Property is older and dated but it's hard to beat the location, especially at the price which is very reasonable.
