Out of the 15 or so Hotels I have stayed in over the last three months the Sands Hotel is by my favorite ! It's Safe , Quiet, comfortable and Inexpensive, all that And a good night SLEEP .
I rate negative 4 .it's an absolute embrrassment to Monterey Rd. As you can see they are putting good proper established on that road now. And filthy run down un keeped piece of s...it. motel that even the homeless would say screw that . Oh yeah the management are the most rudest bad mood people of this side of India. They also cheat and steel and lie. Not to mention the $100 he charged me. He knock on my door at 10:00 pm for my license and a nother 20 for deposit. The next day he did not recall that. So he stoled my license .we argued of course . He was trying pretended I was the bad guy. I wanted to beat the f.....k out of him . Now I got to apply for a new license & waste my time and money. What a night mare motel.
