Was barely worth staying...but we did. The sheets were clean and the bathroom was passable. The location, easy walk to lots of restaurants and entertainment, and the view with the sound of the surf were the ONLY redeeming features.

I paid $85 for a one bedroom. After I booked I looked up reviews that I was upset to see, were all bad. I was super nervous when I opened the door but was pleasantly surprised to see it really wasn't that bad. The bathroom was super tidy. The carpet was a little staind with some cig burns but looked...

We had reserved a condo at Sands Beach Resort for a week starting June 15, 2012. We got there and could not stay. The condo was horrible. The furniture was filthly and stained as well as the carpet. It looked the place hadn't been painted since it was built. The pictures portray a nice place, but it looks nothing like... More

Do not stay at this hotel. It was awful. You could smell the place from the car. It smelled like 1950 kept in a jar. I can't believe they actually advertise and put people in those rooms. We kept our shoes on the entire time. The carpet was disgusting, the shower/bathroom was disgusting, and the mattress was terrible. There were... More

Place was a dump. I stayed at the condo part and it was aweful. The first room they put us in smelled badly of urine. We got moved to another room and it had exposed wiring, holes in the walls, roaches, and blinds missing. I would NEVER stay here ever again. I called the BBB of Cleveland on them and... More

WARNING!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!! We made the mistake of booking a cottage and hope this spares others from wasting nearly $160 for a terrible overnight stay. Booking was through the Sands Resort in Geneva on the Lake, Ohio. They also own the Poolside Motel, Parkgate, Sailor 's Rest, and the Sands Beach Motel. We stayed in one of the... More

This place was filthy. Cobwebs and spiders everywhere you looked in the room. No carpeting and the floor didn't look like it had been swept in years. The bed frame was bent so we had to sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed. No maid service. The air conditioning froze up and at one point we had... More

We were looking for a one night stay off of I-90 and near lake Erie to break up our travel. My husband found this motel online; he called to check availability and was offered a lakeside room for the price of a basic room - this was promising. We arrived a little later in the afternoon, the clerk working was... More
