    The hotel setting was perfect. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable but had a stale smell which was off putting. The... bed was very roomy and the bathroom was clean and fresh. The shower could have had more water pressure and been a little hotter but overall not a bad experience. The pool was inviting and there was a jacuzzi. The place is not luxurious but good value for the money. All in all, an enjoyable stay and I would return again if in the area. by Kate F.  from Los Angeles, CA on 05/14/13

    Rooms are charmingly decorated. It is well-maintained. Big props to the help. I accidentally left an item there and the manager called me that afternoon and I received it in the mail about 3 days later. Even though it was full the night I was there, it was quiet. There is NO tv service, although there is a dvd player and free movies are available. I […] would happily stay there again. Read more

Also, the free contintental breakfast was awesome... we expected less and got more!! All of the staff was very helpful as well as very friendly.

    So far we have stayed at the Sands on each of our trips to SLO. I love the convenient access from the freeway and the budget price. Parking can be problematic but other than that, it's a great little hotel.

    I think parts of the hotel/motel are older buildings redone. While it looks okay the walls between the rooms were never insulated for noise. Our bed was right next to the one next door and unfortunately he/she was a snorer. It felt as that person was in our room, consequently we got hardly any sleep that night.

    The desk clerk when we arrived was outstanding (a recent grad of Cal Poly). Promptly brought us a needed roll-away bed and extra blankets, and gave good info about the Farmer's Market and the town. The room was fine - small, but clean. Only real negatives - the heater was huge and noisy, the wall around the heater in the bathroom was coming apart, and […] the shower head was defective and too low. Didn't check out the pool or spa. It was fine for an overnight visit to Cal Poly. Read more

    This aged motel is badly in need of maintenance. I was told that several rooms were not assignable because some element didn't work. It took three tries before we were assigned a room in which the heater actually worked. The WiFi was so weak that it would not support a Skype call. And so on. This was the first and last visit for us.

    Our stay was for 3 days for our son's graduation. We have stayed here before, and were very pleased, therefore recommended it to our family members, who were also coming in for the gradutation. Overall, our stay was good, however there were a few things that had not been taken care of in our room. The coffee pot didn't work. After placing a note on […] it, the pot was taken away, but not replaced. The iron didn't work, which would have been nice to freshen up my son's graduation gown. Also, the refridgerator was not working. All of these things were not a huge issue, but should have been checked by the staff. For the price of this hotel, it is nice, and the continental breakfast that is available is also nice (alot of selection, and kept supplied well). We will stay here again if our travels bring us back to SLO. Read more
