The Sands Motel

Staff were friendly. Check in and out was very easy.

There was a pair of dirty socks on the couch from previous guest and a used hair tie on the floor next to the bed.

The bed was comfortable, it was clean and basic. I thought it was expensive for what it was at $165 a night.

There was no table in the room or at the front of the unit. There was only one bedside lamp. Even though there was no smoking the guy next door was smoking and it was coming in the room. It was on a very noisy street and traffic was loud even at night.

Great location. Close to neaby shops and restaurants, only a short commute into Adelaide CBD

Main door locks need replacing, and doors require better sealing.

No breakfast

The disrespect from others who booked in. The rooms are very close & could here their movements (not very quietly)may have been from immediately upstairs. They left at 5.00 in the morning very noisily!!!

We liked the Room and it was very clean Location was very good

Breakfast wasn't included. More signage would be helpful for those travelling to actually find the main entry. Overall once found it was very welcoming.

Apart from missing the entrance point everything was great.

Easy to find, comfortable bed, good shower

Easy parking, lovely staff, clean and comfortable room

Easy access to Arkabar hotel could easily walk even with a few beverages under our belts

Hated the exhaust fan in bathroom but everything else was completely comfortable and great value.. plenty of off street parking.. friendly service..

It was so close to the city and the Arkaba and it was lovely and clean

Toaster, kettle, microwave, clean , my car was 10 steps from my door. No stairs.

The cleaning products very strong smell in the room.

Great location, parking available

I had a very disappointing stay at this motel. The check-in process was handled unprofessionally, and to make matters worse, I was woken up at 7 AM by loud drilling due to ongoing construction. The manager showed no concern about the disturbance. Additionally, the refrigerator randomly turned off, and I found expired cream that was over a month past its date. The most shocking part was discovering someone else’s underwear under the bed—completely unacceptable in terms of cleanliness. I would not recommend staying here.

Reasonably priced and close to where we had to go

Need’s upgrading. Fridge made a noise all the time and hot water tap in shower leaked once turned on and scolding hot water could hardly turn it off again. I informed the office so hopefully they fix it

Super clean, Mandy at the desk was really nice and helped us extend our stay 2 more nights! Great facilities — we enjoyed having laundry at the motel.

I had travelled from Geelong in Victoria, and I loved that it was on the road into town on the left-hand side. Very easy to get to. The location was very good. Diagonally, across the road was a great supermarket, coffee shop, restaurant, pharmacy, liquor store, hotel, and one block up was a Woolworths supermarket. For those who like Maccas, it was across the road in the other direction. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was simple but comfortable.

There were some minor issues that wouldn't stop me from returning. No face washer in the room, but they gave me one when I asked. A tea towel to wipe dishes, but no dish cloth or detergent, so not able to wipe down the bench when I cooked toast, for example.

Good location, convenient

Occasional truck rumbling past as its a major transport corridor, so a little noisy at times but not enough to not stay there again.

Very clean. Close to city and to freeway to Melbourne on the same road. Food and entertainment within walking distance. Woolworths, Takeaways, restaurants and pubs. Quit and easy free parking. Good laundry and dryer.

A good solid motel room, basically comfortable beds with a nice bathroom. Good place for a night or two, within easy reach of the city either by car or bus. A few amenities nearby.

The location was great for the event we travelled for

The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Pillows too flat with no spares in the room, Curtains let a lot of light in. No hair dryer and no complimentry biscuits

Not expensive, location

Continual banging of doors on a windy night, no flannel in bathroom.
