The bed was clean, but the staff charged extra fees unfairly.

pleasant room but lacking in confirmation clarity
The Standard Queen Room was clean and well-appointed, offering a comfortable stay. The amenities were adequate, and I appreciated the quiet environment during the night.

Had a solid experience during my stay, especially enjoying the cozy pool area and the beautiful garden vibe. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. Just a heads-up, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, but overall, I’d definitely recommend it! 😊

Comfortable stay, convenient location, with free Wi-Fi that made it easy to plan our day trips and quick access to a 24-hour reception for any needs we had during our visit.

The location was perfect for visiting nearby attractions like Angel Stadium and Disneyland. The pool area was a highlight for us, offering plenty of relaxation after exploring all day.
However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. We found some issues like stains on the bedding, which definitely dampened the experience.

Couples looking for a disaster
So I got my confirmation and everything, thought I was all set, it was supposed to be cozy, right? Invited this girl I really like to spend the night and when I arrived it was all a mess.
Wasn't exactly cheap, but what can you do.

Quick service but poor management experience
I had a short stay in a Standard Queen Room. The check-in process was quick, and I appreciated the decent TV and the cleanliness of the bathroom amenities. However, I was shocked by the management's harshness regarding a minor checkout time issue, which really dampened my experience.

It was just a great match for a cursory stop in Riverside with definitely value for money. The AC worked great despite being filthy. Bring your own supplies to make your stay more comfortable.

The stay at Sands Motel in Riverside was frustrating at best. First off, the room was supposed to have two queen beds, but we only got one, which was uncomfortable for a family of four. The smell of smoke lingered in the supposedly nonsmoking room, making it hard to breathe until I bought air fresheners. The door handle was broken, forcing us to kick the door open every time we entered. I had to get new room keys three times due to the faulty lock. Rolling over in bed was a noisy affair because of the plastic covering under the sheets. To top it off, there were no amenities like a hair dryer, microwave, or fridge despite what was advertised. On a brighter note, I must say the shower provided hot water, which was a relief amidst all the chaos.

not a good choice
The room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a microwave. Bathroom was private with a shower, towels, and toiletries provided. Location was near restaurants. However, management was rude and strict about checkout times. Really puts a damper on the whole stay experience. Better places are out there.
