Alexander
Old school motel. Room was comfortable and had a unique layout.
Heather
Loved the retro decor.
Amanda
Small rooms, but very cozy. Nothing fancy, but everything you need: apartment-sized refrigerator with a freezer, microwave, lots of plugs on both sides of the bed, roomy shower, and a comfortable bed. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and will come back.
Bradford

Very basic room. Bed was comfortable, pillows were flat; bathroom was clean; towels were very basic thin cotton. Noisy road.
Could do a better job with TV set up.

Kevin
Clean room. Very retro. A lot of fun.
Karen
Very courteous desk clerk. Charming retro fridge in room. Room was cozy and warm, despite winter chill outside.
Betty
The staff definitely stood out. Super helpful and friendly - can't emphasize this enough. The room was big and clean. I also loved the area. A cute, small town with the old Vegas feel to it. When I come back, I plan on staying here again!
Matthew Kevin
The price was great. It was far away from the Las Vegas Strip. The room was clean and comfortable. And the staff was awesome!
Kendra
This room was amazing!! Perfect for a little getaway to Boulder City!!! We will definitely be back!!!
Robert
Awesome little hidden gem
K Pat
This cute, retro hotel was near a beautiful shopping area in the old town of Boulder City. Very friendly, welcoming staff, and spacious room. Safe and quiet. Everything in the room worked and it was very clean. A nice, fair rate, especially considering the area. Our only complaint was that our room had limited supply of hot water for two showers, but we'd stay again even with that. This is because of the great room and grounds, room delivery of one extra blanket, very, very fast Wi-fi, and easy check in and check out. Safe, available parking in the lot. Highly recommend!
Jennifer
I don’t usually stay at motels but the previous reviews didn’t do me wrong. I am very impressed!! It was quiet, I parked right outside my room which i absolutely appreciate! Front desk lady was really friendly and my room was clean, I would stay here again!!
Fred

Douglas
No hot water!
Elaine
Perfect place to stay. Clean, quiet and convenient.
Kathy
We liked the room and bathroom. The only complaint is the rod for hanging up clothes is way too high and the racks for towels in bathroom too high!! Not everyone is tall.
Donna
Very good value and very nice service
Richard
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Whole place was immaculate with a chilled out vibe akin to the 1960s - will definitely return
Gale
The room was very cute. Everthing was clean except the floor. Needed to be swept. Could not walk barefoot without feeling the grit
Steven
Very nice people run this place. Cold A/C and big bed and tv. Thank you for the nice stay will stay again.
Guadalupe
Very nice and easy check in. Clean rooms and AC ready when you get to the room, convenient during the heat when you have kids after a long drive. Had a great time and chat with the receptionist. Friendly and accommodating. Will book again if I have to. Will 100% recommend.
Elijah
The only place worth staying if you're passing through the Vegas area
John B.
Recently fully renovated old school motel. Nothing fancy but everything is tidy and functional. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Acceptable linens. Noisy AC. With the TV volume maxed out I could barely hear Ryan Reynolds in some lame computer game movie. The poor AC had to run all night; it was 113f. The neighborhood feels safe enough. It is under transition. Some places are boarded up. Others in disrepair. Some newly renovated. It would feel sketchy, but there’s literally no one else around because of the season and heat.
Janice
Very clean, easy access to restaurants and local city park.
Iris
The area is a bit run down but convenient and great dining…
Iris

Lori
Brandie was great
Michael

Faron
The receptionist was so helpful I had some issues with my credit card and she was willing to give me a discount for cash. We couldn’t have had better help
John
Does not have breakfast option. It is very close to an excellent restaurant.
Eric
Smelled of disinfectant. Crabby clerk. Fan in the bathroom howled. Sounded like it was self destructing.
Philip
Didnt like the road construction. They started working to early!

I was looking for a weekend away from Las Vegas and went to Boulder City. This motel is in the Historic Downtown and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and bars.
The room was quiet and clean and the lady at the front desk was very helpful

Frank
Very nice clean and quiet motel just off the main street thru town. It appears newly renovated. Our unit with twin queens had a separate room which had a refrigerator freezer coffee maker and microwave. The room was quiet, even when a douche bag came in after 11 pm slamming doors and talking loud we just heard muffled noise. The central location to many restaurants was a plus. When we return we will gladly return.
Michael
For a motel it is very nice place.
Derek
This motel was great, at least in the room I stayed in. It was really big, a firm bed, and a cute little fridge. The lights flickered a little bit but straightened out after remaining on. The bathroom had a fan that struggled a bit and I did have a bit of struggle figuring out the tap on the shower. But overall the stay was fantastic and the lady did ask if there was anything she can do for me when she caught me outside.
Mark
Peaceful
Kurt
Great little hotel
Sally
easy to park pull throughs...stay to and from as we snowbird in Idaho, if rooms available. not a fancy place, just a place comfy and cute.
Eileen
Fun area, great motel and great welcome and service
Lori

Robert
neo-retro, with a small and dark shower.
The room was comfortable, clean, and nicely equipped. My only criticism is the bathroom is small, with a tiny unlit shower stall. Considering how spacious the room is, the bathroom surprised us.
Julie
Great Drive In Motel
This retro motel was perfect for our one night stay near Hoover Dam. It was very clean and the room was good sized.
Terry
Nice
RACHAEL
Super cute, location was great
Stephen
The rooms are remodeled. This motel is on the road in “historic” part of town. There are several nice restaurants within 3 minute walk. Parking lot is big and you can part in front of your room which is great for those, like me, riding a motorcycle. And the “price point” is great. Much better quality rooms than typical branded low end hotels.
Ben
quite motel within walking distance of many good food options and a shourt bit from the hoover dam. clean rooms.
only down sides loud echo in shower, poor water pressure, the cable management on the tv is bad

Great place to stay!!
Tracy
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.
Connie
We were very pleased with the cleanliness and size of the room. It looked as if it had been renovated recently. Very comfortable.

Cute little place. This is our second time here.
Verified traveler
Really nicely refurbished motel outside of Las Vegas.
Stephanie
Very charming, clean and convenient
Adrian
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.
Vicki

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.
Janice
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.
Dawn
The room was so cute! The little extra room to be used as kitchen and desk and vanity was adorable. Loved the decor!

Air conditioner was incredibly loud and not very effective. No way to let light into the room without losing all privacy. People smoking by their room doors. Better options available in the area.

Boulder City is a unique, beautiful town and the Sands Motel was a perfect choice to enjoy it. Very accommodating.
Daniel
If you have a classic car, this is a perfect place. Old school \"motor hotel\" with parking right outside the door
Peter
Nice basic accommodations with a retro vibe. Walking distance to several dining options. The ladies at the check-in desk were super nice.
Jason
Family owned with wonderful guest service. Pet-friendly. Family-friendly. Well stocked with ice in the machines. Lovely room decor with a positive vibe and charming amenities you wouldn’t expect at a motel. Love the retro fridge! We will definitely stay at the Sands Motel again.

Floor dirty needs to be cleaned(mopped and sterilized).
Gregory
Enjoyed the retro feel. Clean
Joseph
Nice peoples but this Motel is old and the bathroom needs too be remodeled. Mattress was like sleeping on the floor.
Verified traveler
Decent hotel for one night
Cute little motel in the nice part of the city. Nothing close to fancy but good for the money. Lady at the reception was nice.
Lori
Extremely uncomfortable bed, but otherwise fine for the price.
Claudia
It was late and we wanted to stay somewhere quieter and less expensive than Vegas. I was so grateful she let us check in at 11:30 pm after a long day in Bryce Canyon.
The madmen 50 motif was cool, plenty of plugs. Cute separate kitchen was great. Firm wonderful king bed. Actually way better than our Vegas room at the gold nugget /Carson tower

Daniel
Very roomy and clean rooms with attention to all the details. They even had bumpers on the bed legs so you wouldn't hurt your toes if you stubbed them. We really liked the kitchen area with the retro fridge and microwave. It was a great place to spend the night.
John
Great Little Old Fashion Motel. Love it :-)
Thomas
Great little place to stay at. Easy walk to food/bars/coffee shop. My only con would be it's slightly noisy, but I would happily stay here again.
William
Great little hotel with an updated look in the rooms while keeping its' 1960's exterior look.
