There's really no excuse for the exorbitant prices, rude service, and lackluster accommodations in Montauk. If I ever go again, I'll camp at the Point or Hither Hills, right on the beach as opposed to across the street from it (like many hotels including the Sands). At least you get what you pay for when you camp. The rooms at... more

So, you're looking for a place to stay in Montauk? My recommendation is to do your homework before you decide where to stay. I obviously didn't do a thorough job on my part and ended up staying at the Sands Motel. The bottom line is that I paid too much for a dumpy hotel. The website is also very deceiving,... more

We could not sleep until 4:00 am. I got bitten by the first bed bug around 10:00 pm and they continued to suck our blood until 4:00 am. I saw different sizes with different colors. Check the mattress seams and it is guarantees to find some movement. I stayed in room # 8 on the first floor. In the morning... more

Only if you have nowhere else to stay and are in dire straits come to the Sands. It's like being in the ghetto but even worse because it is very difficult to enjoy the pool or beach because of the trashy clientele. VERY NOISY. more

If you have a choice, do not choose the Sands Motel. The location is in the middle of a busy intersection, actually garbage truck central in the early morning; you have to cross the road to get to the beach, and from our rooms we had to cross the street to get to the pool. For the not inexpensive rate... more

When I first checked in i was greeted by *shiver* Diane , who right from the start got... more

My family has stayed at the Sands for the past 3 years. We have been visiting Montauk for the last 11 years and have stayed at almost every hotel/motel available. We have finally found the best place for our family. The Sands has a cute cottage which has 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen with a table and a large living... more

The Sands has to have the best location in Montauk, directly across from the beach at the edge of town. The beach is not as crowded as the center of town and the views from the dunes are fabulous. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The owners of the Sands have been wonderful. We feel like we are coming home... more

My girlfriend and I thought we'd have a nice, romantic get-away at the beach. This was basically the cheapest room with such a good location. We're not that picky. We even went off season to save money. We should've known immediately to run away, since the woman in the office emitted such negative/bad energy. Poor woman, to be so grumpy---why... more
