Right for the Money

Having pre-paid only $35, I knew to expect an only-fair hotel. The Sands was perfectly fine for the price. The room was very large (but lacked comfortable chairs or couch, or a desk), the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom large and clean. The showerhead needs a replacement (was just old and didn't spray well; lacked power, too). One major problem, though: the doors to all guest rooms SLAM shut naturally; the springs must be tightly wound, because I kept hearing doors slamming shut all night - and it wasn't on purpose.

nogreat, not bad

Nothing special, nothing bad. The staff, in my limited encounters were very good. Loved Reno, but would probably upgrade just a bit on the hotel. The room was comfortable, but not so much as a coffee pot in it. none of the extras I have been used to in my recent travels. Bed was comfortable and clean. The carpet was worn, some minor cosmetic damage. If you are alone, and not planning on spending much time in the room this would be a good deal.

Room and services fall short of the lights and glitz outside

We stayed seven days. On the first night had trouble getting an iron and ironing board from room service (staff did not speak English). I asked to keep the iron for the entire stay, but it was taken away the next day and I could not get one for the rest of the stay, even after repeated request. The blankets, bed covers and even the shower curtains were old and raggedy. Overall, compared to the lights and glitz outside, the rooms and services needs to be improved.

Excellent service

Very good for the money. Not fancy, but good for the money. We were very impressed with the service, especially at Mel's Diner and the room service was the best. Thanks Dino for your speedy service to the room!

Good One

Old Casino but not a bad one. It is economical and at the same time closer to down town casinos. Do not expect great facilities for the price paid but reasonable one.
