I went to Ocean Shores on a whim without a reservation to get some peace, quiet, and relaxation. After driving around and checking hotel rooms and prices I came to the Sands Resort, the first room I looked at wasn't what I was looking for, so I asked at the counter to see a different room. The room I ended... More

I have a tip for the front desk, if your hotel is virutally empty, why put the only guests on top or next door to each otheer? Also, a larger piece of soap would be nice and maybe an extra towel? The kitchen needs a sponge.

We regret that your stay here was not as pleasant as it could have been. We do honor special requests for rooms which sometimes results in guests being grouped together even when the hotel is not at capacity. We have instructed our front desk agents to consider this when checking in guests and offer alternate rooms in the future. Extra... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days. It was very relaxing and we really enjoyed the privacy and our time alone. The front desk was very helpful in calling the quinault shuttle to get us back and forth to the casino...where, I might add Jake won us $500!!!!!

Its Ocean Shores....not the best place to go but always a lot of fun. We go here every year on the annual MC ride in. The Sands is right in the middle of everything. Great location to walk to all of the events, stores etc. On the beach, Indoor and Outdoor pool. Rooms are average + but the staff really... More

This is the second Thanksgiving we have spent at The Sands. The kitchen is very small, and yet I was able to make a full turkey dinner! The kitchen has the basics, (I brought some extras from home, baking dishes, siverware and knives) We love the cabin decor, the cozy living room, and especially the fire place! The kids loved...

When we arrived we went to the wrong office as they have more than one. We were pointed in the right direction to the office by the pool. Every staff person we encountered couldn't have been nicer. The price was definitely right for us. Tax included it was less than $75.00 a night. We were 4 senior ladies who needed... More

Of all 3 past visits to The Sands, this was the best! Not that they have control of the weather, but even that was wonderful! The room was given an off season discount and we weren't charged for bringing our furry son (dog). Rooms are always clean, which is important, though we never spend much time in the motel...we are...

The Sands is an older but well maintained resort hotel with every type and price of room you could want from suites on the beach to queen bed rooms off the beach and family units..We like to use the mid-week specials for a hefty discount.

Spent the night here over a busy end of summer weekend because The Sands is dog friendly and we wanted to take our Labrador to the beach. The property is run down on the outside, lots of weeds, bumpy parking lot, and faded paint. So, the room on the second floor was a pleasant surprise. Very clean, updated from floor... More
