Sands Motel

Could be better but I prefer a simpler motel with a vintage touch

Great value! My expectations were quite low as we drove through town to get to the motel and I was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong, it's still a motel, but we were greeted kindly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and we slept wonderfully. Worth the money, I highly recommend!

So, let me start by saying we loved this place but it is an old school motel off old route 66. No pool or anything, no breakfast either. That being said I'd stay here again for sure. Good price, not far from the interstate. We were exhausted and didn't even go out for dinner. The rooms were really nice inside and roomy. Bed was comfortable and we had no complaints. The people who work there are so nice and welcoming. If you are passing through and need a place to stay please go here for the nostalgia and to support a small business. The big hotels are nice but I love the small hotels so much

Clean rooms,owners are super nice and make sure you are comfortable and happy. Cheap rooms and up to date. We are staying a month and would defiantly come back to stay. It's quiet and cozy and anything u need is around the corner.

I gave it a 4 star because the staff/owner was very kind and super accomidating. After the negative reviews I considered sleeping in the car for the night as other places were booked for the night but I had my family with me. Before we brought our stuff in we did a thorough inspection and found no evidence of bed bugs or single roach. As far as motels go it is decent and served it's purpose. I think some people expect the Hilton hotel at a motel price and expect too much. If I am in the area again and in at tight spot I'd consider staying again.

Gentleman front desk saved our trip. After hotel in Albuquerque canceling on us last minute arriving from El Paso and every hotel in Albuquerque was sold out including Santa Fe hotels. They waited for us to arrive reserving us 3 rooms for 6 adults and 6 kiddos at 3am. No complaints at all. Rooms were clean, parking right in front of your door, ac working great, even a dorm refrigerator. Brother asked for extra towels and with no hesitation they were handed to him. Overall great. =)

This one of the top five Locally owned hotel I have ever stayed at. It was so quiet. No local riflf raff permanently living there causing problems. It was very clean. Yes it is an older hotel but all that intalls but you can Immediately tell but the room that who family owns it really care about the place. The biggest surprise was definitely in the bathroom where they had nice soft towels for us to us. Usually a local hotel has very thin towels that almost feel like sandpaper but here. This is the type of detail that makes this little hotel a great hotel. The added bonus was it was even reasonably priced.

Awesome place to live..Studio Apt vibes more than by stay by the night..many improvements. New owners!

This place is $33 a night. We stayed in the Elvis room with a king bed, lots of space with a 50 inch smart tv. Equipped with microwave and fridge, desk space, hangers and the best of all... there was a light switch above the bed. I kid you not. Didn't even have to get out of bed to turn the lights off. Run by the friendliest family. Lots of parking space. So why are people complaining? This was by far the best motel we've stayed in, great value for money!

Staff was super friendly, their little dog greeted my grumpy baby, making her very happy. It's a great place for the price, beds were comfortable. It is a fairly old and has wear, I've had really bad stays elsewhere for a lot more.
