You won't die from staying here. Dingy? I think that's the word. Two or three places across the street seemed nicer

Stayed in the so-called "Presidential Suite," which seemed exciting until we opened the door. The hotel basically took a business conference room, stuck a bed in it, and called it a suite. There were all kinds of weird civic awards on the walls (the owners?), a big folding table, horrible fluorescent ceiling lights like you find in a school hallway,... More

The Sands Inn is ok. It is fairly clean. The internet service is horrible. If you can get a connection it only lasts a few seconds at a time. They really need to upgrade this since most people want online access. The front desk staff is so-so. The free breakfast is so-so. The walls are thin and you can hear... More

I found this hotel passing through town and found it to be a very pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The price was reasonable, the rooms were comfortable, and breakfast exceeded my expectations.

Upon arrival the staff was fantastic and very accommodating. The man at the front desk bent over backwards to get us set up to our satisfaction. When we got into the room however, we found that the towel rack had been previously broken lazily glued back to the wall. It fell off as soon as we went for a towel,... More

This is an older motel large room, comfortable bed with microwave & refrigerator and thermostat on wall. The shower and toilet in separate room. Wireless connection was weak with no provision for wired connection. Not well maintained, vanity drain was disconnected, very noisy hear people next door at normal conversation levels.
