My son only had two wall plugs and had to turn the light over the sink on to turn the light in the bathroom to make matters worse the shower in room 17 didnt turn on at all this is all in room 17 there was also no smoke detector in his room his window opened up in two directions and the buttons on both his AC unit and mine were hard to read because they were basically missing some buttons my room however had a smoke detector but our deadbolt didnt turn all the way and we had to use a little force to close the front door tight this is in room 27 and the bathroom door couldnt be closed tight because it would catch and it would stick real bad the handle looked like it was coming loose and there was also used soap still in the bathroom our window would not open at all

the positive reviews on this must be fake
Unfortunately due to traffic through El Paso, I arrive a little after midnight which I also didn’t know was a requirement, but at least after 30 minutes of calling Hotels.com for help I was told to knock on a door to get help. This was a little traumatic tbh. I just drove 10 hours and had another 10 hours the next day. I just wanted a clean safe bed for a few hours of rest. I thought I was going to have to sleep in the car in the parking lot. The wifi code shown in office didn’t work which was problematic since there was also poor cellular service and I needed internet to submit a work report before I could sleep. Fortunately I prepaid because the lady that checked me in said they had been hacked recently and unable to take cards. I did not expect luxury at this price but also I have never seen a room so bad. The headboard fell off the wall just from me lYing on the bed. The mattress was all torn and dirty (silver lining no bugs!) and there wasn’t even a proper sheet. The sink slow drained and I didn’t dare risk trying the shower. The fridge worked at least. Anyway I wouldn’t even bother normally to write a review so bad for a cheap place but the posting for this location made it seem WAYYYYY better and I just don’t want some else to have this experience. The lady that woke from sleep to give me room was nice at least.

The staff was great, both times I've stayed there. Flys were bothersome, but I was able to take care of that myself. (Doors must be open for some reason during the day.)It's very inexpensive, but I saw painting and improvements being made.

The bathtub was old and disgusting. I could not even shower. No coffee pot. One of my rooms had no hot water and the water was off in both rooms that morning but they did get it back on.

The Sands doesn't look like much as you pull in, but the rooms have updates and are clean. We have stayed several times, as it's one of the cheapest places in town and is a good value for travelers who don't mind funky/older places. We even like that the train tracks are right out back. When we hear the horn or feel the rumble, we walk out to see/feel the trains blowing through town. For coffee,tea, bevs, snacks and gas, there's a decent Love's literally across the street, and there's a nicer Pilot a half mile away.

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.
