Room was nice and cozy, with forced hot air heating, that lead to a perfect nights sleep. WIFI is excellent. Good dining and breweries within walking distance.

It's an older building so the floors are creaky and the windows are old but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The lady at the front desk was so nice. There is a train nearby that comes through a few times a night. I would definitely stay here again!

This motel was awful. You should remove it from your site. Very unsecure with hollow doors, outside handles made from interior doors and the only lock was the door handle lock. VERY RUN DOWN. Matted carpet from the 80's. Smelly. Sketcy ares. I could go on.

Staff was great. Let me park my bike under the canopy directly in front of my room. The room was dated, but very nice. It’s an old roadside motel and great for the price.

Clean and comfortable. More lighting over counter area needed. Very small mirror in bathroom. Nearby train comes through a few times daily. I only noticed it once during the night.

Adrien was wonderful! So accomadating! I happened on the Sands purely by chance when my car broke down and i couldnt have found a better place.
She recommended a shop around the corner, who were very helpful, and when i couldn't get it fixed right away she had no problem extending my reservation for 2 more nights!
Everything about this stay was wonderful! If i had to be stranded, im glad it was here!
