Sands Motel
Awesome for when I needed a motel on short notice and it was cheap so I appreciate that a lot. Dirty but a few towels were clean, unopened cups, and hand soap. TV, microwave, fridge, hot water, and cozy beds. Better than I expected!

Lacking towels
The man at the front desk was about as professional as they come. He was ready for me when I walked in the door. Quick and clean. The only issue I had was there weren't any towels or wash clothes in the room.

The property was great for the price. Room was quiet even when the trains would pass behind the old motor inn. Never heard a train whistle until the next day after i checked out and was driving through town.

Good motel for the price
It is a no frill motel but the bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, and the staff bent over backwards to help with a key problem.

Sorry, I know it was cheap, but it was an absolute dump. My neighbor came back around 5:00 and was blasting music for hours. I finally complained to the staff, and he turned it down, until.... 12:30 AM the next morning when he was blasting it again. I was booked for 2 nights but promptly left that morning.
