For quite some time my Husband and I wanted to take a weekend fishing trip to Rio Vista and stay at the Rio Sands Lodge. In November 2012 we decided this is what we'd do for our 31st Wedding Anniversary. The office staff was very helpful and friendly; we even sent an email with a question and they responded promptly.... More

The website online is pictures probably when it was first built. It is gross and disgusting. I was there to spend 11 days. I was there for work. I only stayed 3 days and that was hard. The first room I was in was so dirty. The floor was so gross. There was hair everywhere. The bathroom was nasty. The... More

Looks can be deceiving. Clean and quiet on the outside and well maintained yard area. The first clue for our stay should have been the scent of the office. The smell of cat urine. If we hadn't been driving all day we would have gone some place else. The cleanliness of the rooms was very unacceptable. When we first entered... More

Room (#4) was clean, bed (king) very comfortable for us. We started out in #5, but upstairs had small, active, yippy/squalling (I kid you not!) dogs that got yelled at over blaring TV. We are fairly tolerant, but this just wasn't going to work. The young couple managing the place didn't give any trouble when we asked to be moved.... More

My husband and I travelled to Rio Vista for some fishing with some friends. Like the other customer we were in rooms 3 and 6. If there was a problem with the bathrooms we did not notice. The rooms were very nice and clean. Each room came with its own microwave/mini refrigerator and coffee pot with coffee. The staff was... More

We apologize for any discomfort you had. The front desk was unaware of any problems with the toilets, and both toilets have been replaced since your stay on Saturday. Also, While the Ice machine does take quarters to run, the tray to collect quarters has been removed, allowing you your quarter back. That night/morning the front desk was open until... More

Clean room overall. Problem was a rattle that probably was due to the winds; something on the roof or side of the building was intermittently rattleing/squeaking. I called the front desk about it and he got me a different room. But the new room had the exact same noise!! And it couldn't be drowned out by the AC cause the... More

First let me clarify the previous post, the owners are not the young couple. Their mom is the owner. HWY noise can be drowned out by running the AC. I was there for a few days along with other people, so we had a few rooms. I only had the opportunity to see two rooms. The young couple and staff... More

This motel is nicer on the inside than the outside--the room was better than I expected. Appreciated the microwave and mini-fridge. Owners are a very sweet young couple.
