AMAZING!

Amazing stay...staff through to room! It's the little things also....bottled water free in room! It's almost unheard of these days and personally am always looking for a cold drink of water when I arrive to a hotel and usually find an empty fridge or one that wants to charge a fortune for same!

Excellent place to stop on my long drive. The room was clean and quiet, safe and secure, great water pressure and fast internet, and the staff was friendly too, and an unexpected added bonus was that the property shared its ample free parking lot with a casino and pub, which had excellent food and offered a meal discount to Sands guests. Across the street is a shopping mall with an ALDI. Needed a place to sleep but found so much more. Highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay, it’s really clean and staff super helpful and friendly which helped the stressful day I had. I got there quite late but really wish I had the option to have gone earlier to enjoy for longer but due to my day not going as planned I couldn’t get there earlier. They offer complimentary hot chocolates and teas and coffees and a microwave which I needed which was amazing. I will definitely come and stay again and would love to try the bistro which looks like it had a kids playground attached to it. My kids would have loved it. The price was also great being under $200 for a night which was wonderful on the long weekend. I’m really happy 😊

We liked the dinning options as the bistro was just a walk across and there were plenty of parking available. It was quiet and clean. We have to go down to reception to have our toasts toasted every morning so if there is a toaster in the room would be great.
