Sandman Inn Princeton

Friendly staff however rooms need some TLC/updating. Felt more like an old motel than a Sandman.

I'm surprised that Sandman calls this one of their hotels. The area around the bathtub was all chipped and held together with goop. None of the trim is painted. It's really rundown.

Save on food

Not too far from town

Staff is Awsome

Decent overnighter. Older property, basic motel, but rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Good value.

There was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke in the room. The outside was dirty. This facility needs a lot of upgrades. Staff were friendly.

The staff was very personable and friendly. I felt very welcome and I felt very safe building is well managed.

Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly, room was comfortable and clean. The property is older, could use some updates.

Rooms are OLD and in need of a renovation! TV did not work, door looked like someone could break in. Mone workers stay here because cheap...not for tourists!!!

Close to the hwy

This is an older hotel with worn out carpet and decor. It was fine for a quick overnight stay after a long drive. There is no restaurant on site.

Staff was engaged and helpful.

Basic, clean but dated accommodations.OK for one night.

The picture in the internet wasn’t what we got we would of never booked this place it should be condemned

Property was clean but lacked amenities

very run down and room smelt line stale smoke. lock on door did not feel safe

The staff were wonderful during check in and check out, and the room was very clean. The property is a little run down and in need of some TLC, and the onsite restaurant is closed. But my stay was fine and the friendliness of the staff can't be beat!

Older building, security cameras had zip ties on posts outside, signs don't leave anything in your vehicles. We had a suite and went to open the window and unlocked and broken. Mildew smelling room. Was very clean but would not stay there again.

Everything was great other than the condition of the building/room. Needs an update!

it was okay

Not a great experience.. staff was friendly but.. Listing notes breakfast is available but upon checking in was told the restaurant has been closed for a long time. Obvious disrepair outside and in the rooms, noticed mold in the bathroom ceiling and wall, and bugs in the toilet when we got up in the morning.

Its a hotel for mine workers. Its old and outdated, but it's okay for a quick overnight stop.

Clean,comfortable and convenient

Very disappointed that the restaurant was closed

Staff was nice and kind. Very old building. Needs and update. Lots of room for a pool too

Easy and convenient, staff was very friendly and rooms were clean

Bathtub very bad

A convenient location to stay when passing through Princeton; however our non smoking room reeked of cigarette smoke. The furniture is extremely dated and worn. The bathroom had very little water pressure and the ceiling had drywall patches that were falling apart along with wallpaper peeling off the walls. Overall this place is in need of some upkeep!

For a bed to sleep in for the night, this motel is fine. But it looks nothing like the photos they present on the booking sight. Beds are comfortable and the shower is great but it is very dated and run down. The lady that checked us in was efficient and kind.

Room was clean but property needs attention - very run down for a Sandman.

Air conditioner did not work that well

No air conditioning

No assurance of safe parking for our vehicle and belongings despite being informed prior to check in that there was secure parking. Very dirty, odour the minute you walk in the door. We did not even stay but instead went elsewhere to find safe and clean accommodations.

This was my second time staying at the sandman inn and I always have a great experience! Thank you

They need to clean up the cigarette buts and filth around the property. Scape the pealing paint and repaint. Realign concrete curbs. A very unloved motel. I have been to a number of Sandman motels and this will be my last.

Staff was great. It would have been nice if coffee was in the office. No cups in the office. No cream in the office. Our room smelled like urine. The chair really needed to be replaced. It was clean. Perhaps the outside could used some grooming and appeal.

Will start here again

Outside around property very dirty, room was clean

Except for the room itself (which was surprisingly nice) the property is being left to deteriorate. The remains of the closed restaurant are an eyesore. The room doors don't close properly and the door locks are from the 50's. Thought the property was part of the "Sandman" franchise and it clearly is not (or shouldn't be).

Staff were lovely, informative and efficient.

It's getting old

Older hotel but very clean rooms.

We were travelling to the coast for a training course and broke up the trip. Staff were great. Beds were comfortable. Not the fanciest but great for a one night stop over.

Building was starting to show signs of aging, looking to be in need of a make over. It was fine, nothing special, room was clean enough, door didn’t close up tight.

This is an old building in terrible shape. Exterior is very run down. Rooms have extremely old furniture and are dated, badly in need of an upgrade. Bed was not comfortable. I didn’t want to walk on the carpet in my bare feet. It’s a dump.

No breakfast , no house keeping , had to walk around the alley to the front of hotel to front desk which isn’t 24 hr, to get your own toilet paper , towels , etc. one of the worst places I have stayed.

Worst Sandman experience ever. Someone needs to burn this place down and start over - seriously that bad.

We thought Sandman had standards. When we looked online the pictures are nothing like the disgusting hotel we ended up with. Peeling wallpaper in places was fixed with staples to the wall. Duct tape used to cover a wall outlet, electrical is questionable at best. The ceiling had obviously had a previous leak. The bathroom had too many issues to even list. very disappointing

Black mold in the bathtub is a deal breaker. Yeech!

Very run down, old and dirty. Wallpaper peeling, light bulbs not working, carpet stained and dirty, terrible water pressure and broken shower head. Furniture is old and damaged. Looks NOTHING like the photos… Expedia posting and photos are fraud. Don’t know how properties get away with such false advertising. Walls are thin. Airconditioner is very loud and old. Terrible climate control.

The room was clean and staff are nice. The building is old, very old. The repairs done within the room are noticeable and some repairs are still needed.

Pretty standard, old but clean.

Very run down..garbage in lobby. Staff disinterested.

The room was fine. The receptionist was cheerful and helpful. But the seating and common area around reception was cluttered with boxes, not to mention take-out food containers and other mess.

We actually did not stay as my wife felt it was not safe, the rooms were very dated and the picture in this html page does not reflect the room we got. I have heard that sandman inns had a very good reputation. I would recommend you do not list this hotel on your website.

We had a late check in and the lady was lovely to us. . The room was spotless and perfect for our short stay on our way north.

Convenient, helpful staff

What you expect of a 3 star motel.

Run down property, all kinds of 'defered' maintenance issues, carpet in dire need of cleaning, door seal on entrance shredded. Restaurant borded up and the place looked like it was going to close down soon. Difficult for seniors to take a shower because of the large tub. Chair at the desk not working properly. Wall paper seams coming appart.

They need to work on their room service, no towels replaced, old coffee, otherwise a solid three stars

They need a serious upgrade on this hotel. The beds were awful the bathroom was disgusting there were pieces of tiles missing. It is so run down and so old it is not like the other sandman's. The door lock was not secure did not feel safe sleeping there.

Very nice and pleasent front desk staff. The rooms were clean and cozy. Stayed there for 2 nights on a business trip. Much better than other hotels in the vicinity.

Good hotel to stay during nightshift

Property has not had any work done on it in 30 + years. Run down, dirty, no restaurant.

The door needs to be repaired to make it easier to lock. We need to push/pull harder in order to lock it.

Wasn’t the nicest motel I’ve stayed in, but I’d say for the price it was good value.

It was to bad the restaraunt is closed

Needs an upgrade. Too expensive.

This must be one of the oldest and worn out Sandman properties. Even the coffee maker didnt work. Certainly not worth the room rate they charge.

I was surprised that this hotel has the Sandman name attached to it. There is no elevator so there are stairs going up or down from the lobby. Lots of highway noise as it's on a major BC highway. The restaurant wasn't open at all and the hotel is outside of town so you must drive to find food. Pillows were lumpy and when I got into bed I rolled into the middle because the mattress was old and saggy.

Clean, although being right on the highway, was very quiet.

Staff were very helpful and friendly

Not Greta for the price, rugs dirty, didn’t clean room

Front of building is noisey with the highway and truck stop right infront of hotel. Beds were worn out. Hallway lights are super bright, shines into room through abnormal door gaps. Did not have a good sleep at all.

Cheap, clean, nice management. Perfect if you’re heading to Skaha late in the day and want a pit stop.

I would not stay here again. The place is very runned down. Looks to be amateur repairs - e.g., the stairs at the back; the staples used to staple the wall paper; the amatuer wiring setup and the list goes on. The hotel should either be torned down OR requires a major renovation. The furnishings were so old. Did not feel safe - not even a deadbolt lock. I would not want to rest here for a night before heading into Vancouver.

It was very noisy was hard to get to sleep people on the top floor which is probably the owners were up late glad I had my ear plug’s unacceptable and took my Visa card number very fast on paper I still hope nothing will happen to my visa. The lady did it so fast I was shocked.

Bathtub was gross.

Needs a lot of help. Photos of rooms are not accurate depiction

Property is dated but clean. Pet friendly room stained carpet from past animals. Twenty dollars for a clean housebroken 6 pound dog is ridiculous.

10/10

Lady at the front desk was not friendly at all. I am surprised that the Sandman would put their name to this hotel. Clean but badly in need of an update.

The Sandman Princeton really needs refurbishing.

Location is beside highway and can here large transport trucks engine brakes all night.

Staff was nice but room was falling apart and smelled like stale cigarettes.

The staff member at the front desk was incredibly welcoming and helpful

So add is very friendly as you come into there door very welcoming rooms are clean beds are comfortable

People at the front desk were great and very helpful

The room was clean, and the staff were awesome. The property is for sure in need of update. It is dated, and the windows seem like they aren’t even there!

Very nice folks that took good care of us. Clean rooms for an older building.

Wonderful stay

I was excited to see a black friday sale which got us a standard room with two double bed from $260 to $130 for a night. The room was old outdated, hair dryer zapped and fizzled as soon as we turned it on, Plugs werent working, some lights were on and some broken. The pillows were super uncomfortable even my 9 year old son said something about it. If you wanted good sleep and nice luxurious stay, this isn't it. This is perfect for a quick stop however the price needs to be reduced. The "black friday" and the original price did not do it justice.

Julie went above and beyond to make sure that our needs were taken care of. With a SMILE🙂

Parking lot was very icey, no salt. Heater barely worked, no sound barriers in the walls.

Truck parking

Good

In the room that I stayed in , the Telus box was not active ( green power light was illuminating) and there was no tv remote , The other thing is there was no access to the the lobby after hours to 7:30 am for the purpose of returning the room key,

Adequate

My room had a very deep bath tub. I loved soaking in it. The property is older but well maintained.
