Check in was so easy and fast wonderful front desk employee. The room was so cool and we were so thankful after a long hot drive. The beds were the most comfortable beds. My husband and I got a two queen room one bed was soo incredibly soft and the other was a bit firmer. Great water pressure and the water so very hot and we were provided with wonderful fluffy towels. The hotel offers smoking rooms as well. Across the street is a gas station and a bar and restaurant so this hotel is in a good spot. Great place! Would stay here again! Thank you for the great service and room!

Don't judge a book by its cover! We stayed at the Sands Inn last night. From the outside the motel and area are a little rough, however the room was exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable and we rested well. The owner and front desk clerk both went out of their way to be sure we had the room we wanted (I had accidentally marked smoking) and everything we needed. We left early so didn't get to check out breakfast, but I bet it was great.

This was the perfect layover spot while passing through Rock Springs. And you can't beat the price!

Retro vibe motel with parking in front of your room, right off I 80 exit, next to a gas station with a full liquor store, located across the street from a bar and food truck with a great variety of amazing Chinese cuisine and American cuisine!! Down the street within walking distance is another bar and a coffee hut!! The rooms have been newly renovated, great AC & plenty of hot water, fridge and microwaves. Very friendly customer service! And a great price for traveling on a budget!!
