So, who's found themselves working in a town they've never been in and get to rely on other peoples reviews to help you not make a totally horrible decision?
The Sands is pretty good. If you are just staying one night it's over-priced and not worth it but if you are staying a week or more you can get a pretty crazy deal. No pool though maybe why the deal is so good. Staff is great behind the desk (both evening and night) and these people really like their town so they tell you about things going on in the area and good places to eat. Give it a try.
