Welcome to Desert Sands (AKA THE SANDS)

Desert Sands, also known as THE SANDS, offers a modest stay in Denton, Texas, with a rating of 3.1. Its location at 611 N Interstate 35 makes it convenient for travelers seeking easy access to local attractions and convenient transportation routes. The hotel appeals mainly to visitors focused on sightseeing, recreation, and efficient travel around the area.

Guests appreciate the quiet ambiance, highlighted by AJ Smith, who found the atmosphere peaceful and enjoyed the friendly, humorous service at the front desk. Cleanliness is notable, with no reports of pests, which is always reassuring for guests. However, there are some operational hiccups, such as occasional maintenance issues. One guest, Jenni Merritt, experienced a leaking bathroom above her room that caused flooding, demonstrating the need for better upkeep.

The amenities are straightforward: free Wi-Fi and free parking are available, but the hotel does not feature a pool, restaurant, or fitness center. This makes Desert Sands a practical choice for travelers who prioritize connectivity and convenience over onsite luxury or recreational facilities.

Overall, Desert Sands fits the needs of budget-conscious visitors and those who value a quiet, no-frills environment. While there is room for improvement in maintenance and amenities, its location and reliable basics create a functional base for exploring Denton and its surroundings.

I haven't seen a bug one the only BAD THING that happened during my night here is I woke up at 7am the room above us left the water running in their bathroom and it had flooded our bathroom i talked to the person in that room Tunney said they would look at it after they went to the store next door to get a pack of cigarettes he told me his bathroom has been leaking since he got there I COULD HEAR THE WATER RUNNING it was just a fast drip but it turned into a heavy stream a leak wouldn't do that. I haven't talked to the office tried to call got no answer but I'll edit after i do. Im sure my husband went back to sleep and ill have to deal with it when i get back from my dr appointment
