My husband and I stayed here for are 9th anniversery. The balcony suite was beautiful, we had a view of downtown town, the lights in the evening were beautiful, and when we did go inside our room we closed the door and could not hear the traffic. We ask for extra coffee and recieved it right to our room, we... More

My family of 4 just got back today from the Silver Sands Resort. Our boys, 16 and 10, LOVED it. I had previously stayed at the resort (in a cabin) for several of my summer vacations with my sisters over 17 years ago. It was such a great time then, that I wanted my husband and boys to have the... More

My "family" and I stay here at least once a year. We have always found Dave, Val and staff to be nothing but helpful. We always stay in room 6 and we enjoy quite a few of the anemities at the motel. Whenever we have a need or an issue it is immediately remedied. Even our special requests have been... More

My family of 5 had a really good time here. I was a little worried at first when I looked at the pictures on line but I was pleasantly suprised. Our children (2-13 yrs of age) had a blast and said they would rather be there instead of Niagara Falls. Granted, this is not a luxury "resort" but it is... More

We made reservations very late yet were still able to stay four nights. The first night the four of us had to split up, two each in the property's smallest rooms. Then we moved to a larger room for all four of us. We had a fine time. It's a very good location. The property is well taken care of... More

Beware – This place is a dump. Resort? You’ve got to be kidding. This place is a MOTEL. Yep a MOTEL. As for the interior I thought I had walked into a set from the Brady Bunch. Time to update folks. $213 after tax for a room with wood paneling and cinder block walls, outrageous. To date I’ve posted 19... More

If you visit our website you will see that we are Silver sands MOTEL and suites. For a person who states he is such a critic of hotels did he not do his research. No one said we are not a motel. Our room pictures are on the site. The decor, paneling and all. The Management has no complaint on... More

We stayed here in august and the location is good if you like being right in the middle of things. The place where we usually stay was booked so we thought we'd give this place a try. It is right across the street from the go kart track so it is very loud. The rooms are pretty small. The thing... More

In response to the dirty carpet...... Unfortunately their child is not the first to spill on the carpet. We do our best to clean and maintain the carpet, but cleaning it after every guest is not possible. That carpet is only a few years old and takes alot of abuse. The rooms they stayed in were scheduled for new carpet... More

My family and I stayed in two of the cottages for a few nights. These cottages are way over priced and have an overwhelming smell of mildew. There was a backboard on my bed that smelled so hideous; I had to cover it with a blanket throughout my stay to stop the odor. I would also note, there is not... More

As for the pontoon rental we only rent our boats for a minimun 4 hours at a time, and we have alimit to the amount of people that can ride. I... More

For my parents' 40th anniversary, my siblings' families and mine reserved a couple of suites as a surprise for the entire family to get together for a weekend in August. We had initially considered the cottages, but our early June planning was too late as everything had already been booked for the busy season through July and the first weekend... More
