“Short stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

My siblings and I stopped here for the night on a long driving trip. The price was reasonable, $80 for the 4 of us. The room was quite large with 2 queen beds, an easy chair, small fridge & microwave. The owner checked us in and was very nice. The room was interesting. The seam in the carpet which ran across the floor was neatly covered with duct tape. Yep, that lovely silver tape. The dead bolt on our door could only be locked from the outside. What? We wondered who exactly they had to lock in there, and hoped it wouldn't be us. The window only had some old blinds, no curtain so you had some light leakage but the back of the property is on top of a hill, so it wasn't bad. We slept okay, it was quiet. We spent about 8 hours there and left at first light. The parking lot was well lit. Maybe it was just our room that was weird, I don't know. If I come through again, I'll probably try somewhere else. I've never stayed in Boulder City before so I don't know how it compares. It was easy to get to from the highway, with a MacDonalds and a gas station near.

I half expected to see Dean Winchester's muscle car in the parking lot. Now that would have been a nice surprise!

“Very kind and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This is not a fancy place, but everything was satisfactory and both people at the front desk were kind and helpful. The man who checked me in stopped by room before closing the office to make sure that I was able to use the wireless Internet. When I got home, I realized I had left an important piece of equipment in the room. Dawn had already tried to find my phone number online before I called her! I sent Fedex to pick it up from her that day and received it the following morning. Thanks, Dawn! I got a discount on breakfast at a nice diner two doors down.

“Accommodating, helpful, & friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

I've stayed many places over the years and I'm careful to judge. I slept well, the room was clean, the shower stayed hot and cranked out pressure. I felt safe and secure. I have stayed at other places in this town and can't say the same. The refrigerator/freezer is a money saver. Plenty of parking, big and open. Access direct to main street. The Sands is located in the middle of town so you can easily walk to the park (like for the Art in the Park festival) or to the famous "Coffee Cup". "Dawn" was wonderful. Boulder city great little town and the Sands gets my vote.

Room Tip: Just be open and tell them what you need/want, they are helpful and friendly.
