Super clean and updated.
Rick, 1-night trip

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Whole place was immaculate with a chilled out vibe akin to the 1960s - will definitely return
Richard, 1-night trip

Super friendly and very nicely equipped motel room. Cool style. Only minus for very loud AC.
Veronika, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice and easy check in. Clean rooms and AC ready when you get to the room, convenient during the heat when you have kids after a long drive. Had a great time and chat with the receptionist. Friendly and accommodating. Will book again if I have to. Will 100% recommend.

Great Drive In Motel

This retro motel was perfect for our one night stay near Hoover Dam. It was very clean and the room was good sized.
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean quiet motel, very good condition for an older place that has been renovated. Well decorated and provided everything i expected.
ernest, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the historic ambiance of this hotel!
Darlene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A taste of Americana very much like the rest of Boulder City, the way it used to be. Great motel in a very clean quiet area and not that far to drive into Las Vegas. Stayed here before and will stay again.
Adrian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great history of Boulder City and the Sands has incorporated the town history in a clean, fun stay!!
Sallie, 1-night trip

Clean

Clean and tidy, this older motel was perfect for our one night stay. It was also in walking distance to downtown for coffee, breakfast, dinner etc. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the entire city was.
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were very pleased with the cleanliness and size of the room. It looked as if it had been renovated recently. Very comfortable.
Connie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice clean and quiet motel just off the main street thru town. It appears newly renovated. Our unit with twin queens had a separate room which had a refrigerator freezer coffee maker and microwave. The room was quiet, even when a douche bag came in after 11 pm slamming doors and talking loud we just heard muffled noise. The central location to many restaurants was a plus. When we return we will gladly return.
Frank, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are remodeled. This motel is on the road in “historic” part of town. There are several nice restaurants within 3 minute walk. Parking lot is big and you can part in front of your room which is great for those, like me, riding a motorcycle. And the “price point” is great. Much better quality rooms than typical branded low end hotels.
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was so cute! The little extra room to be used as kitchen and desk and vanity was adorable. Loved the decor! Very friendly lady checked us in
Dawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

neo-retro, with a small and dark shower.

The room was comfortable, clean, and nicely equipped. My only criticism is the bathroom is small, with a tiny unlit shower stall. Considering how spacious the room is, the bathroom surprised us.
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great motel in Boulder City! Nice quiet place and great room. Easy walking to dining, shops, and bars!
Karla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little place to stay at. Easy walk to food/bars/coffee shop. My only con would be it's slightly noisy, but I would happily stay here again.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and helpful desk person, great location with pet, park nearby.
Janice, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My room and the grounds were clean and quiet, and it was really easy to walk almost everywhere I needed to go. Most exceptionally, the manager on-site was so friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay at The Sands.
Seth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is an older motel, but is very quaint. It was a very convenient location for my trip. I will definitely be staying here again.
Lise, 1-night trip
