If you're looking for a 'sands' experience, you're better off going to an actual beach. This place was a disaster from start to finish. Walking into the room felt like stepping back into a forgotten era—and not in a charming way. The walls were grimy, the chairs and table looked like they hadn't seen a cleaning rag in ages, and don't even get me started on the 'towels' I wouldn't use them to wash my car. The amenities? A joke. The blow dryer was DOA, and the light fixture was a bug graveyard. I'm pretty sure I saw more insects than hotel staff during my stay. Honestly, I've stayed in cleaner hostels. Save your money and sanity; avoid this place like the plague.

Check in process was pretty unpleasant and awkward. I gave them my card that they charged a $100 as a deposit to and instructed me to come back to checkout in person so they can refund me the money. Upon checkout they argued with me about the deposit until they re-read the receipt they gave me when they charged my card and then gave me my money back and acted like it was my fault? Very strange to stay at a location where it seemed I was a massive inconvenience. Room was smelly and the shower would not drain. We alerted the front desk who said they would send someone but no one ever came. So we weren't able to shower during our stay. Please note that there are also no provided hangara and they do not have any hangers or iron to borrow during your stay. Pretty easy location with access to the freeways and free parking though?
