2/10 Poor

Never again
Towels clean but dingy gray. No hair dryer in room. Shower had VERY slow drain. Furniture that tv was on had cup marks, drip marks all over it like it hadn’t been wiped in a very long time. Even though weather too cool to get into the pool the pool furniture/area was not inviting at all. The cushions were old, cracked and strewn around and no pool towels for the spa.

4/10 Fair

Unfriendly and NOT handicap accessible
Emailed for a ground floor handicap accessible room. Property never responded. Gave us an upstairs room farthest from the parking lot. When I asked upon check in, was told they did not offer the size room I request on the ground level. My 90-year mother who has trouble walking had to climb approx. 20 stairs. If they had responded to my request, I would have made other arrangements. Most of the lights in the room did not work. Paper thin walls. Towels and wash cloths like sandpaper. Parking was extremely limited Expected so much more for the price

Good for the night
We only stayed a night. It got what we needed, which was a bed tjj on sleep in. We stayed in room 151, There were doors on either side of our room and we could hear everything going on in both rooms. There were not a lot of breakfast options, both waffle makers were down. However, walking to distance to breweries and restaurants.

8/10 Very good

Have stayed many time at THe SAnds.They have updated some rooms but workmanship wasn’t very good and left some important things undone just for a fancier look. Would rather have had a bathtub plug, a sink plug and nicer towels( did get better towels upon request after first night). Very disappointed that there were absolutely no tea bags to be had. Was told it was due to budget cuts! Really? Again, over did trying to make it look nicer but cutting back on simple things most people look for. Also no hair dryer in room(with no warning) and not asked if I would be needing one. The pool is absolutely amazing. Very big,deep and water temperature perfect. Hot tub was very dirty as was the surrounding pool area. Outdoor furniture way past its better days. Town is within walking distance so that was good. Overall it is a comfortable enough place just needs to figure out what is more important. Simple needs or bigger fancier furniture that isn’t going to get used.

2/10 Poor

They had all their old beds and furniture trash in their parking lot and its already too small of a parking area for the hotel. The building is under construction. Our AC unit in the room would not work at all and they had no on site maintenance people to repair it. The hotel was over reserved so there was no option to change rooms and it was a holiday weekend so there were no other hotels available. They still charged us full price and were extremely rude regarding repairing the AC so that we could be somewhat comfortable. They did absolutely nothing to make the situation right.

Decent room that was clean. But it was not well insulated for noise or light. Cracks at bottom of door allowed lots of parking lot noise. And the open top of the drapes allowed quite a bit of light in during the morning. The pool area was quite shabby. And a whole block of rooms were boarded up for some reason. We won't return.
