This place is amazing! It looks like an old hotel from the outside, but the rooms are very clean and updated! Have always had an amazing experience here, would recommend to anyone passing through town! Cute little city

This hotel in inconsistent with their prices. I called and asked what the nightly rate would be for family visiting and was told no more than $130 a night. Then when family called they we told $140 a night. Which $10 might not mean much but it does when you plan to stay multiple nights. You can find nicer hotels in Antioch Pittsburg for less.

While some people tend to review based on everything around the world, I feel fairness is reviewing based on what's in the area. That being said, having stayed at several overpriced and underwhelming, "Marina Resorts" in the area, the Rio Sands has my 5 star.Rates might vary based on time of the year, but I'm here the day I'm writing this review. For a very reasonable $105, you get a room, Air conditioner, shower, toilet, light blocking curtain, double paned windows, a bed, clean sheets, free wifi, pool access, a laundry room, a shower, soap, towels, and a coffee pot(with coffee, sugar, pink, and powder creamer).Compared to some of the Marina resorts I've stayed at (which are outdated cabins with none of the above ammeninites for $170@night) I'd say Rio sands is a bargain.You're right on the main drag in town, which puts you across the street from a McDonalds. There are several 24 hour stores in the area for those last minute things you might need. The Marina resorts I've stayed at shutter their shops as early as 5:30pm. Each room has a theme. I'm in room 10, which is rock and roll themed. Right now I'm hearing people outside, the highway, but then again I have my windows wide open. Again, if you have realistic expectations, you'll be happy.There's an in-room TV with comcast cable. The wifi isn't the greatest. Testing up/down speeds I'm at 0.5mbps. Yet the wifi is 5 bar, and the connection is stable. You're limited to one device per room, but that's not a huge deal either.All in all, I like this place and will be coming back here with my family next year.

Went to a wedding on the Delta and the Rio Sands was the closest motel that accepts pets. When we got to the room, it had a funky smell coming from the fridge. It wasn't overpowering so we stayed there. The room is large enough with 2 beds, small fridge, microwave, desk and a chair. The bathroom was small with a very old tile shower about 30" square. The room has Pergo type flooring that we noticed was dirty the first night. Back at the room the next day , the cleaning staff had made the beds with the old sheets and restocked the bathroom without doing any cleaning. The floor makes your feet black and now the whole place feels dirty. We won't stay there again. Won't recommend to a friend.

This is the biggest dump I have ever stayed in, don't trust anything the staff tells you, drove all the way down from Yerington NV, they advertise there open till 11:00 PM, don't believe it, called said I'd be there by 10:00 PM and was told no problem, arrived at 10:05 and they were closed, no one around and no place to stay, had to drive back to Lodi and try to find a room, it's now 10:40, finally found one, in the morning drove back to a bunch of excuses, no air conditioning, terrible service, and a jerkwad at the front counter.

We just checked out of Rio Sands in Rio Vista and are not happy. Our bathroom had the towel bar falling out of the wall, the sink was plugged, the shower pan was cracked and the shower was leaking. Booking.com said that the bathrooms had been redone but apparently our room (14) was the one room that had not been as per the front desk lady. Last but not least we were ravaged by some sort of pest while sleeping (either fleas or bedbugs) so we left covered in bites! We evacuated the Atlas fire area hoping for some relief and this is what we got! Terrible!

Really gross. Not only does the room smell like cigarettes (even though the door says non-smoking) but the sight of dead flies on the floor was enough for me. The creepy decorations on the walls scared me (rusted iron tools and bear traps). Worst of all, when I opened up the bed covers a few flies came flying out. Immediately went to front desk to check out and the front desk guy didn't seem surprised and refunded me without any mention of it. Don't trust the website.

Currently here now due to out of town work. I'm typically someone to overlook inconvenient things and not be to overwhelming. First room I was in with my roomate, I got ate alive by bed bugs and when I confronted the counter about the issue I was met with "idk what to say, maybe you're getting bit while you're at work". So without any concrete evidence I did not pursue the matter, that was until I caught one crawling right by my face one night. Went to the front desk again, I was offered ZERO compensation and furthermore when I asked for a different room all they could say was that he did not have any available. So I had to do his job for him and switch with one of my coworkers. After the switch, a couple nights following, we were met with bed bugs AGAIN. And this time when we confronted the front desk, the same lazy asshole tells us "you guys have to be the ones bringing them into the rooms". If I could give this place negative stars, I would. The permanent tenants are constantly smoking their grass, which not everyone likes the small of that stuff. The office smells like a pig pen, they told us several times that the pool was closed without reason, they don't clean anything rather they just replace towels and make your bed with the same sheets every day. And for everyone thinking bout staying here, the first room we left....they did absolutely nothing to fix the bed bug dilemma, instead they re opened the room the very next day

I not sure what all the fuss is about. This is a nice place with friendly staff. I was driving past and thought "My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night" . I was greeted upon arrival by a nice gentleman. He helped get me settled in. The room was good size and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I slept good considering it's on the highway and there's plenty of semi truck traffic noise. I found that Chris and Tina did a good job when they cleaned the room before me. Btw, Please tip housekeeping when you stay. I'm sure they have more stories than I'd like to hear about guests bad habits. If you would tip your waitress for good service, why wouldn't you tip housekeeping to clean up after you? All in all I can't really complain. The price was competitive not overpriced taking into account its the only local place. I took some pics so people can see the good stuff. There were no holes in the walls or spider webs as others have said. I'd definitely return and recommend this place if your in town.

Thin walls, can hear a lot from the other guests. Stairs and upper lever walkway echo through the room. Floor was not clean to the point I would not walk around barefoot. Bathroom reeked of bleach. The TV and fridge did not work. Mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable at best and did not appear very clean either. Find somewhere else you'll be happy you did.
