Sands Inn

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the owners were really kind to me and my partner after we’d had a rough night. The bed was super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud. There’s a lot of public transit nearby, so it can get a bit noisy, but we had a great stay. Great room for the price.

This place was a lifesaver when I needed somewhere at the last minute in a tricky situation. It’s not the best spot, but if you want a cheap place with some vacant space, I’d book it. The people are sweet, though they’re very persistent about you leaving on time. The shower is great, and they have a disabled room. You can stay multiple nights. There’s a microwave, a fridge, buses nearby, WiFi, no bugs, and more.

The rooms are filthy, the staff are rude, and the whole place reeks of weed fumes. The lot is tiny, so finding a spot is tough unless you’re an expert at parallel parking. They’ll charge you 20 bucks if you check out even a minute late. Pay 5 bucks more a night and you’ll feel like a king by comparison. Sorry to the rats, you don’t deserve to be compared to this dive.

This time around, the staff were friendly and polite, and the room was comfortable. I got a room yesterday and decided to stay another day. My first visit last year was unpleasant because the staff were rude about me smoking in the room, even though they hadn’t asked whether I smoked before assigning it. The past is the past, and this stay has been awesome. It’s a little pricey, but I’ll be back for sure. Bring cash to pay less.
