Kauai Sands Hotel

Horrible Place To Stay

This place was horrible. I know they are a "cheap" place to stay in Kauai but it was really horrible!!!!! The entrance looked like it was stuck in the 70's. When I walked in the room there was an aqua shag carpet. I sat on the foot of the bed and it was like a trampoline it was so springy. The sheets were much like the entrance, stuck in the 70's and had the color of the carpet. The mini fridge was not even plugged in and the bathroom looked like there might have been something growing in it. They said that the room was an ocean view room...not even close. I had to go out on the patio (the railing out there was old and coming off the building) and lean all the way over to see the ocean. I was so disappointed that I left there and went to a much better place. Don't waste your money or your time, don't make the same mistake I did.

NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS Improvement

We were only staying and using the shower at the facility for a few hours before we caught our airplane. Thank goodness it was for only a few hours. Very ran down, very outdated, not perfectly clean in the bathroom (I won't go into it here). Airconditioner did not work but the noisy fan helped. Staff nice, location good, price too high for the quality. We will check into another location next time. Will not be back.

Discusting

Please don't stay at this hotel. The room is old, dirty, and very uninviting. You will be very dissapointed.

fading fast

hotel is getting worse judging from our last visit two years ago. Only reason to stay is cost and a good location.

Impossible to find, OK if you're traveling on the cheap

First of all, this hotel is pretty much impossible to find, especially at night, without getting directions from a local. Not only do they not have a sign visible from the main road, there isn't even a sign with the street name nearby so Google maps won't help you. Rooms are small, beds are comfortable, bathrooms are functional but badly in need of updating, air conditioners work but are far too loud for light sleepers. The hotel grounds outside the rooms are nice and well maintained. This is one of the cheapest hotels on the island and it shows.

No Smoking Rooms

There are no 'no smoking' rooms at this hotel. Some are labeled as that but they still put the ashtray in the room and the room smells just like that, an ash tray. Combined with 60 style everything and the most uncomfortable bed imaginable i would not reccommend this hotel, even at the price, spend a few bucks more for a better place.

Needed Improvement

It reflects the amt. of money I paid.Very old hotel.Only good for low budget or overnighters.

A bit dated

We were thankful that we only stayed one night here. The room was old and dated and there were no amenities - coffee/tea or any drinks available The room was clean but not up to a standard for the price

Great room for the money

stayed @ the sands 3-30-09, as just a stop over to fly out the next day. Hotel was fine for the price. our room was clean, but nothing special. It worked for what we needed at the time, but not even an in room coffee maker was supplied.

Outdated

The beds were very uncomfortable (could feel springs). The room had a wall unit a/c, no hair dryer, and no iron and board. The room had no electric outlets at all so I had to charge my phone in the bathroom. It was not dirty or nasty but everything was definitely old.

Could use a little improvement

found a bug crawling on the bathroom floor...
