Sands Inn - Motel in South Gate - 8935 Long Beach Blvd, USA

So far so good. I got a room yesterday and decide to stay another day. The staff this time was very friendly & polite. I came here last year for the first time and my experience at that time was very unpleasant because the staff was very rude about me smoking in the room. They didn’t bother to ask me if I smoke or not before I got the room. But the past it’s the past and this time it’s awesome. A little bit pricey but comfortable. I’ll be back for sure. Bring cash to pay less 👏👏

Horrible experience lady said $400 from Thursday to Tuesday and I come and pay and she gives me the control and room key and tells me my clock out time is Monday. She told me to stay till Tuesday I had to pay her $90 more I only had $20 for deposit and $40 more for me to eat with my fiance. I had to give her the rest of my money. Today it's my last day not once did they ask me if I wanted my room cleaned or new towels or anything the whole stay. The lady broke into our room and didn't even clean just put new towels. She was waiting for me and my partner to leave and just went without consent into my room. Tonight the whole night they been making noise on the left side in room 4. Also guy doing mechanical work on his car with electrical tools and flashlight. All night men outside our room and we are two women .

Very sketchy I called and I told the lady I needed a room from Thursday to Tuesday she said it would be $400. I made sure the price more than 3 times and when I pay she gives me the room card and says clock out time is on Monday 10:30am. I told her "no my clock out time is Tuesday" she said no but I had already paid she said she got confused and thought it was Friday and that she needed to charge me $90 more dollars I only had $40 more dollars since I'm homeless looking for a single apartment I gave her my last $40 the whole time we stayed here not once they came to change my towels or clean till today the last day I come back they came into my room and just changed the towels and I couldn't get into my room I had to go to the office and tell them my key wasn't working. We are two young women and are scared since the lady in the front desk is always talking to the young men and going to their rooms we are scared since she came into our room knowing we weren't there and not once from Thursday 03/19/24 to Monday today 03/25/24 has she asked or done room keeping also locked our key so we couldn't access our room till her husband fixed it for us. If something happens to me it was this motel

The owners will do anything and use any excuse to not give your deposit back. And then they get mad if u book online instead of with them because they say online takes a lot of money like that’s our problem 😂 there’s also *BED BUGS*.

Worse hotel I've ever stayed at, floor was not cleaned at all, could feel how dirty it was. There were dead cockroaches, hair, and dust everywhere. The shower was leaky and had some sort of fungus on the shower head. TV didn't work at all, same with the wifi. Bed sheets had stains, and I would wake up with bites on my legs every morning. It also had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. Overall, it felt dirty and moist every time I stepped into the room. Owners would constantly monitor the cameras as to who would go in or out of the room. If only they paid the same attention to fixing and maintaining their rooms to give at least a decent stay. Would recommend avoiding this place if you have no other option. Keep in mind that the photos for the hotel are not up to date as to what it looks like now.

They will have you clean (mop and sweep) if you want your 20$ deposit back at check out . Never stay in hotel like that lol . Never again.. felt like employee not like greet as customer at stay.

Found this place on Expedia and was pleasantly surprised as I booked it to be near the airport adjacent 105 freeway for an early flight the next day. Rooms were clean and front desk manager was very attentive and friendly. Free parking and wifi. Looked to be recently remodeled. Small mom and pop spot so don't expect the Ritz Carlton but folks who want to save on hotel accommodations should consider this place when traveling to LA.

Room smelt like cigarettes for the 3 nights I stayed. I used a can of air refreshener and the smell never left. There were hairs all over the room. Room for the most part was dirty. The sheets had stains on them. There was also cockroaches and bugs in the room. Expect to get what you paid for. No AC. No hand soap or utensils.
