There were a number of inconveniences and signs of neglect that pretty much made this place a no-go for us. We were given a different room after we discovered the TV was broken in our first room, but the TV in the new room also didn't work. We were able to fix it ourselves, but the fireplace also didn't work,... More

The hotel is old. However, the location and dog-friendly benefits would almost make up for it. I say ALMOST, because my stay here was ruined by a careless employee. Back in March we went to the beach for a last minute get away. The hotel was what I would expect of an older hotel - thin walls, slightly run down.... More

Woke up on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and decided to go to Ocean Shores with the family (of 5). The Sands had availability so I reviewed the reviews here and they were mixed. Ranked 14 out of 15. However, not a lot of last minute options, so we booked it and we were very pleased by what we... More

I went to Ocean Shores on a whim without a reservation to get some peace, quiet, and relaxation. After driving around and checking hotel rooms and prices I came to the Sands Resort, the first room I looked at wasn't what I was looking for, so I asked at the counter to see a different room. The room I ended... More

I have a tip for the front desk, if your hotel is virutally empty, why put the only guests on top or next door to each otheer? Also, a larger piece of soap would be nice and maybe an extra towel? The kitchen needs a sponge.

We regret that your stay here was not as pleasant as it could have been. We do honor special requests for rooms which sometimes results in guests being grouped together even when the hotel is not at capacity. We have instructed our front desk agents to consider this when checking in guests and offer alternate rooms in the future. Extra... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days. It was very relaxing and we really enjoyed the privacy and our time alone. The front desk was very helpful in calling the quinault shuttle to get us back and forth to the casino...where, I might add Jake won us $500!!!!!

Its Ocean Shores....not the best place to go but always a lot of fun. We go here every year on the annual MC ride in. The Sands is right in the middle of everything. Great location to walk to all of the events, stores etc. On the beach, Indoor and Outdoor pool. Rooms are average + but the staff really... More

This is the second Thanksgiving we have spent at The Sands. The kitchen is very small, and yet I was able to make a full turkey dinner! The kitchen has the basics, (I brought some extras from home, baking dishes, siverware and knives) We love the cabin decor, the cozy living room, and especially the fire place! The kids loved...

When we arrived we went to the wrong office as they have more than one. We were pointed in the right direction to the office by the pool. Every staff person we encountered couldn't have been nicer. The price was definitely right for us. Tax included it was less than $75.00 a night. We were 4 senior ladies who needed... More

Of all 3 past visits to The Sands, this was the best! Not that they have control of the weather, but even that was wonderful! The room was given an off season discount and we weren't charged for bringing our furry son (dog). Rooms are always clean, which is important, though we never spend much time in the motel...we are...
