We booked a week reservation but because of the condition of the property we checked out 4 days early. The location is very nice and it does have s private beach however the grounds are not kept and are very ditty. I am a smoker and was offended by the cigarette buts and ashtrays not emptied. We would not recommend... More

My son and his lovely bride picked The Sands. We stayed the night and the rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. They provided a dinner afterwards and it was very good. It was "off season" however next summer my husband and I will return as they have many things to do here right on the... More

My husband and I can only recommend The Sands Motel and we had great vacation staying there for three nights. We didn't even expect to have such a relaxing time in Traverse City, but it really felt like we were away from it all, and we extended our stay for another night even though we needed to move to the...

The Sands Motel was a Great get-a-way! The staff was great-rooms, clean,with good rates! The view of lake breath taking! We cant wait to come back again!

This was my second stay at the Sands, Beautiful Beach, friendly and attentive staff, and Chris (the owner), could not be more helpful. I give The Sands a AAA+++++ rating, and if I visit Traverse City again, it will be the only place I stay.

The general manager, Chris, was very strange and seemed intoxicated every time we saw him. Our toilet didn't flush and when we told Chris about the problem he said he would fix it but when we came back it still wasn't flushing and they left the plunger in our room. So for the 3 nights we were there we had... More

My boyfriend and I found the sands motel online and thought it would be a great place to escape. When we arrived we were greeted by the desk clerk who seemed nice and well mannered. Our room was the end room on the top and the view was amazing! the room was basicly clean except for a dead june bug... More
