Disgusting
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/24/11
Unfortunately I have to tell you that it was very disappointing with the exception of the staff who were very professional and helpful. As we walked into the room for the first time we were met by a foul order similar to body oder. When we turned on the lights it didn't get any better. The carpet was old, worn and dirty. The walls were marked up and the only chair in the room looked like it was taken out of a dumpster The pull out couch was so nasty that my son wouldn't sleep in it and was forced to squeeze in the bed with our daughter. They are 16 and 18. We took that room specifically for the extra bed. The bureau had sand in the drawers so we had to leave our clothes in our bags. The kids bed was not very comfortable but compared to the bed we slept in it was luxurious. If our bed was less than 10 years old I'd be shocked. No matter the age it was disgusting and very uncomfortable. We were poked by springs and funneled to the low spot in the middle of the "mattress". I had a sick feeling whenever we went into the room and even worse when it was time to climb into that bed. We reserved the room for 3 nights but left after 2. It was that bad!

Price is too high - under new management??
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/24/11
Had been going to the Sands for 10 to 12 years. Since the new owners took over...it isn't the same quality or friendless. The new pool is a plus.

wouldn't go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/21/10
The room we rented did not justify the rate we paid. They didn't even have a coffee maker in the room. Rooms were extremely small and the parking was awful. Place seemed to be running on the downside. Would not go back again.

Would definately recommend
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/2/08
The hotel was extremelty spotless. We were so impressed. The pool was crystal clear. Perfect location to stay - restaurants and shops within a few steps. Beach directly across the street. We have stayed at other hotels on York Beach - this is by far the best !!!!

Good value, but uncomfortable beds!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/2/08
Sands by the Sea is in a great location with affordable prices. That's hard to come by. The staff was friendly, our room was clean and the hotel was quite. My wife, daughter and I stayed in a 1 bedroom suite but we ended up checking out one night early because the beds were so uncomfortable! If the Sands updates their mattresses we would go back. Overall, good location and value, but extremely uncomfortable mattresses.

cant wait to come back
By megan corbett, 2/16/08
Love the location, you can bring the whole family and the older children have the opportunity to do activities by themselves without having their parents at their side all the time, then everyone can enjoy a day at the beach together. It is also great that you can park your car when you arrive and not get back into it until its time to go home,if you so choose.

Not in any hurry to get back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/19/07
The staff were all but invisible. The rooms were very sterile, tawdry motel decor, smelling of disinfectant. There was mold in the bathroom. Showers with very little pressure. The location can't be beat though. I have stayed here several years, but found the rising rates, with very little justification for them, have forced me to look elsewhere.

we are coming back in September
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/17/06
I liked that the room was very clean. It was close to a nice little town that you could walk to. It was also across the street from a nice romatic beach. The people there were very friendly. I saved my room ticket from when we were there on september 18, 2004. My room number was 54 maybe when we come back it will be there waiting for us on September 30, 2006. Ken E

over 20 years of family vacations!
By Mara, 3/7/06
I began staying at the Sands when I was a child with my family over twenty years ago and now that I have a family of my own, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. It is directly across the street from the beach, but it is the family atmosphere that keeps us coming back. It is also just a few short steps from the most popular resturants and The York Wild Animal Kingdom. You can also take the trolley directly in front of the Motel if you would like to visit the Long Sands Beach. The Sands Motel is in the middle of just about everything your family would enjoy!
