Clean
Clean and tidy, this older motel was perfect for our one night stay. It was also in walking distance to downtown for coffee, breakfast, dinner etc. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the entire city was.

A taste of Americana very much like the rest of Boulder City, the way it used to be. Great motel in a very clean quiet area and not that far to drive into Las Vegas. Stayed here before and will stay again.

My room and the grounds were clean and quiet, and it was really easy to walk almost everywhere I needed to go. Most exceptionally, the manager on-site was so friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay at The Sands.

The room had a personal touch, nice furniture. The a/c unit was quiet, obviously was fairly new. My doggy and I liked walking to a city park across the street. Very clean.

If you have a classic car, this is a perfect place. Old school "motor hotel" with parking right outside the door
