My husband and I stayed at the Sands Motel for a romantic weekend getaway. The price was real good since it was still the off season. Like a friend of mine said: "It's a motel". That pretty much sums it up. It's the bare minimum. Comfortable beds, nicely recently renovated bathrooms. I didn't walk barefoot on the carpet because who... more

To start, their website is quite deceptive. Daily rates are not the weekend rates, which are significantly higher. But they're mysteriously absent from the website. And no mention of the $20 CASH they demand for a key deposit- it's returned when you hand in the keys, but what a hassle. This place was a dump. Room has not been updated... more

I stayed at the Sands with my three friends. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite with a full kitchen and a balcony that overlooked the entrance to the beach. We loved the proximity to the beach, and the town of Montauk. Some travelers may not have loved the bar that shares the parking lot, but we didn't mind. I thought... more

When was the last time they updated my room? probably 1971. The room was old and Moldy. The smell never went away. The blankets on the bed looked as if they had not been washed in two years. The rug was discussting. The air-condishiner had to be 30 years old. I have heard the upstairs rooms were better. But don't... more

As a rule, when one writes a letter it is usually due to some complaint, I've decided to write this letter because of a positive experience. We have been vacationing for the past 2 years at the Sands Motel in Montauk. We had a room with a great view of the ocean. The staff was always very accommodating; recommending things... more

Where do I begin..I never even got the chance to stay there and had a problem. I'll try to make it brief. Was visiting in Montauk and stopped in to see if certain dates were available. I met Diane (who I might add had absolutely no personality whatsoever, I tried to make conversation with her and she was very cut... more

This is in response to the person whose reservation was cancelled due to non receipt of deposit in a timely fashion. All persons are advised when making their reservation that we allow five days from the day they make their reservation to receive a deposit. In actuality we allow six to seven days in case there is a problem with...

We stayed at the Sands for Memorial Day weekend 2007 and booked a suite for 2 nights, which was really a condo in the building next door. The place is literally 20 feet from the beach, and from our 3rd floor private balcony, we could see the ocean. The suite was large, with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and separate living... more

My family has just returned from our 5th stay at the Sands Motel, and we remain convinced that it is by far the best option for us in Montauk. We have two school-aged boys and thus prefer to rent a deluxe suite, which allows my husband and I to have some space away from the kids. The suites on the... more

We stayed at The Sands Hotel the first week of August. While we liked the room and the balcony setting, the outside of the hotel is run down. They should pave their parking area leading to the suites. It would look more accomodating. The room was clean and the pool was well maintained. The staff was accomodating in helping us... more

After spending 2 nights at this Motel I was happy to pack my suitcases and leave. Where do I start? The day my girlfriend and I arrived we walked into the room to be extremely surprised. Within the first 2 minutes we found a few small hairs on the toilet bowl not to mention the ripped blanket on the bed... more
