My partner and I loved this motel. We stayed one night during a road trip from LA to San Fran. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, comfortable and cosy. It's located around 1 mile from downtown. On friday nights a trolley runs from just outside the motel to downtown every 15 minutes for only a... more

Stayed at this hotel after reading the reviews and basically found it to be OK for the $$. Arrived in the mid afternoon and was the only one at the property at the time. The check in clerk was very friendly and also helpful in finding a local store. There was no microwave in the room but a call to... more

Good location, a little outside the town centre. Good, clean accommodation. Filling standard american breakfast although the amount of plastic used was far from an environmentally friendly option. Friendly staff. more

We booked our Sands reservation over the internet and were pleased to find out we were placed into one of their King Suites. Let me tell you, this was the best discount motel room I have ever stayed in. The room was indeed a suite , containing a living room, complete with flat screen tv, dvd player (with free movie... more

I spent five nights here while visiting friends in SLO. The clerk at check-in was friendly and enthusiastic, and really made me feel welcome. There are two buildings, one of which is a single story, and my room was in this building. The decor of the room was dated, but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There... more

They only had one room left....a suite....and they offered it to us at no extra charge. It was a lovely room....large and comfortable with a big tV, DVD and... more

Our two queen room was clean and spacious with updated furniture, firm bedding, nice size TV, DVD player, fridge, microwave, wardrobe and dresser storage and two sink areas, one... more

My wife and I just got back from a weekend in San Luis Obispo. We stayed at the Sands Motel and Suites for three nights. It's a nice enough place, the rooms are clean and the prices are OK. But a loud party began last night in the room next to ours, and it didn't end until 3 a.m. It... more

With my sister I stayed here after the death of my brother-in-law. The owner was his business aquaintance and was kind enough to offer the conference rooms for the services. That was very generous, as was the catering. Thanks to Jason for his help, too. The staff was equally gracious and helpful. They were accommodating when we checked out and... more
