This is a GREAT MOTEL! Its an older "mom and pop" local motel, built in the 1950s during the era when Grants NM billed itself as "the uranium capital of the world." The uranium fields are at Poison Canyon, 20 miles NW of town on Hwy 605. The Sands Motel has signs on every road that gots to or past Grants. In 1960, ELVIS PRESLEY stayed at the Sands Motel. Room 123 is now called "the Elvis Room" and it is now a shrine to the "king of rock and roll." The continental breakfast is basic and spartan. The parking look is very large, so if you are towing anything, there is plenty of space for parking. Cars can park directly in front of the room. Room size is LARGE, so this motel is recommended if you have extra guests. Both fridge and microwave are provided. Flat screen TV is high-definition, with plenty of channels. Support local motels; avoid the national chain motels at freeway exit 85! There are restaurants within walking distance. Safety in Grants is excellent; "Grants is the town that crime forgot." SB

I was looking for an inexpensive, comfortable place to stay. I found it here after it had been recommended to me. It is just now under new management. I have to say the service n kindness was 5 stars. SO helpful. I slept really well. Enjoyed the tv too. But this place has character, it is like the old style American motels, made famous in the Hitchcock thriller ‘Psycho’ (don’t let that put you off!). They are upgrading it as work was going on there. It is really rather enchanting. I did a little research and guess what..Elvis Presley stayed there.. true!! In fact I think that was the room they were renovating. That’s some history. I wish them well for their future adventure.. thank you xx

An absolutely awful experience. Nasty looking facility Reservation made through ******* and on arrival told that the reservation would not be honored and the male manager demanded immediate payment $30 more than the original price. He beca.e rude and aggressive and cursing. AWFUL. Did not stay

The rude receptionist would not approve that we had booked with ********* and demanded a higher price than originally agreed. We have booked with breakfast, but that wasn't there either. Avoid this hotel - they are scammers.

Did not stay here but when rocked up they tried to ask for $175.00. We said NO since it was obviously a motel at the bottom of the pile and went to leave. The price dropped to $115 immediately with the lady behind the counter chasing after us!! I figure that since we had an accent (we are Australian) it was gouge the tourist time but they didn’t think that we may have had some experience with motels prior to getting to Grants. Avoid this flea pit like the plague…..

So many problems with this motel. Just to start if you are wanting a Route 66 motel this is NOT it. It’s on a side road and full of sketchy people. Upon check in the owner did not honor our ********** reservation and charged us more for our room. Getting into our room there were crickets inside, the floor felt like you could fall through it in areas, holes in the walls, the toilet was duck taped down, there were 2 washcloths, 1 hand towel, and 1 bath towel (this is important for later), the ac did not work, and you could tell something was spilled in the fridge and never cleaned. It was so nasty we didn’t even shower, but did use 1 washcloth and the hand towel which were left on the bathroom floor when we left. A few hours after we checked out and left we noticed an extra $20 charge come through from the motel so we called to find out what it was. The owner proceeded to accuse us of stealing all of the towels and washcloths from the room and called us thieves and said he had video footage of us stealing them. #1 we wouldn’t even put our bags on the floor much less take anything from the room with us, #2 if he had cameras proving any of it he would be implying there were cameras in the room and bathroom. We saw other people complaining in reviews about how he charges and it’s no joke. We believe he targets tourists passing through to get as much money as he can because he knows that once they get a few hours from town that they won’t come back. I would never recommend Sands to anyone and would advise everyone to steer clear.

First impressions were not good. The lobby reeked of curry and the room reeked of a very powerful deodorant. The walls and floors were in rough shape and not particularly clean. The door had no chain or deadbolt. The bathroom wiring was suspect, as turning on the ceiling fan turned off the bathroom light. The bathroom floor was soft and caulking and seams a disaster. Towels were stained. There was no place to hang clothes and no reading lights. You get the idea, a fleabag without the fleas. On the upside, the wifi work. The is a good Mexican restaurant one block down the street. The heater did its job quietly. The furniture was a bit worn, but functional. There was a table and a desk. The room was large. The sheets were clean and the bed was firm, but comfortable. The plumbing worked. The water wasn’t hot, but was warm enough for a decent shower. The place was very quiet overnight and I got a good night’s sleep. The price was cut rate, but I will not be stopping here again.
