Pros: The room was spotless and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor made us feel like we were stepping back in time. Our room was very quiet and had a very nice tv, microwave and refrigerator.

Cons: The hotel wasnâ€™t directly on Route 66.

Pros: I had a very enjoyable stay at the Sands Motel. It's an older property, but everything was in working condition. If you're looking for a quick place to stay for the night, it's a good value.

Pros: The cost was the main factor for choosing the Sands.

Cons: The WI-FI really didn't work and there was no cell phone coverage at this location. Had to drive a few blocks to get a signal. The price reflects what we got but.

Pros: Location on old route 66 was ok.

Cons: The bathroom was not very clean. The hotel likely had its last update sometime in the 70s. The walls were paper thin.
