Sands Motel - Ottawa

Inn

This is one of the better spots to stay in downtown, the service is good and the location is dead center of everything.

It's not real pretty, but the rooms are big, they have smoking rooms and it's cheap.

I'm actually giving this place two thumbs up. U gotta be smart and ask for the renovated rooms… I stayed in room #3… Beds were definitely comfortable and room was nice and clean… Very surprised but very happy!

Not a bad place. Mattress and box spring are in plastic bags and no signs of bugs.

Do not have a cold and no kleenex available, if you do, do not plan on using the roll of tp and try to het another one. They will yell and scream at you and may, like they did me, and demand to know what you're doing with more than one roll of tp in a day. You need to bring your own sheets, pillows w/your own cases, kleenex, toilet paper, electric heater if it's winter. That's all I can think of at the moment. But most definitely brinh your own tp!

Reasonably decent for a small, local hotel.

The beds were somewhat comfortable and the room was clean but everything was very dated.

Middle of the city of Ottawa 3 star motel.

The staff was not cooperative at all about registered support animal. I explain what the laws are and that I was happy to provide my documentation. They did not want to see my documentation or even meet my support animal. I ended up staying at Daniel's in LaSalle instead. The staff there were much more cooperative and were already aware of what the laws are for registered support animals.

Dirty rooms and cockroaches everywhere.

Awesome people and great service.

Got bedbugs f**k this place. Repeat got bedbugs maybe lice. Horrible itchy red bites.

Dirty, broken, My paedophile alert app went off, and there are 5 paedophiles listed as living there at this time.

The room is so nice and the beds are so comfortable, we had sound sleep. Best motel at best rates, the staff is so friendly.

Good value, clean & comfortable. Close to downtown & easy entrance off of their parking lot to the Illnois & Michigan canal bike path.

I love it the price was surprising you have a refrigerator a microwave flat screen t. V and bathroom clean plus you have a king size bed soft omg! And a couch and desk in your room hell I felt like I was at home! Love it.

I travel often for my business, and this was one of the worse motels I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was filthy and the floors were disgusting. The walls were so caked with dirt, grime, and filth, I don't think they have been cleaned in years. When we called the office to request a new shower curtain (because it was covered in mold and mildew) and a bottle of bleach (so we could clean the bathroom since they obviously did not know how), we were told "If you want clean room, check-out is 11am". HOW RUDE! I will never stay here again, regardless of the price (which is NOT worth it). If you are in the area and need a decent hotel for a decent price, I recommend the short drive to Streator for The America's Best Value Inn.

Another good bicycle motel, right along the Illinois-Michigan Canal path. I've stayed here several times in the past. Clean, neat, inexpensive when you're just looking for a soft bed, a shower, and air-conditioning. Bring the bike right inside the room. Plenty of places to eat nearby, since this is right off Rt 6 and near downtown Ottawa,.
