The Sands of Treasure Island

The best part of this motel is the location. It's right on the beach and is walking distance to several restaurants & stores. We were also able to see the water from our room, which was a huge plus. I also liked the kitchenette in the room which allowed us to store beverages or leftovers. The timing of booking our trip meant that most places were sold out, or were way more than we wanted to spend, and The Sands offered a good price. They offered free parking, with an overflow lot a very short walk away. They also have a pool, although we did not use it during the trip. The staff members we spoke to during our visit were friendly and down to earth.

This place is in bad need of a makeover. The furniture inside & outside is dated. The grass needed to be cut and there's really no landscaping. The grounds and the rooms are rundown and dirty. The bedding & towels were clean, but the floors had dirt in the corners, and there were stains & rust in the bathroom areas. I get that it's a beach location, so I expect there will be some dirt or sand, but this is more a lack of effort. The first day we arrived there was a cotton swab on the floor outside our room. Two days later, it was still there, but had been swept into a corner. That demonstrates that there is little effort by staff to keep this place clean.

We arrived at the motel booked on a Saturday afternoon We got our keys for the room and they wouldn’t unlock the door. Maintenance came put oil in the lock giggled the lock for five minutes then it unlocked. They said they would replace the lock on Monday. The furniture in the place was awe full. We wouldn’t stay here for anything. Found a Marriot two doors down booked there for $1200 more for the week. Our friends stayed at the Sands but had them put bed sheets over the furniture. We travel plenty and found this place to be the worst one could possibly find.

Everything. Could only get refunded 5 of our 7 days. They say it’s their policy. What hotel has a policy like this.

Location adequate for restaurants, beach, walking.

Beds need updated, there were not comfortable at all. Rooms could use an update too.

Being close to the beach

Had to ask for toilet paper and towels. Never really swept floors in room or changed sheets for 10 days.
