"The family loft we had wasn't that clean, and the beds weren't comfortable. We did like being able to open the window, but it didn't have a screen. The loft had ant problems. The stairs weren't clean, and there was no hot breakfast due to the virus. We won't stay here again.2020-06-28"

"There was only one hotel clerk on duty, and she was slow; it took over 50 minutes to get checked in. The room was nice, but no information was provided about where amenities were; I had to find someone to ask about the location of the ice machine and restaurant. The bar staff was nice and friendly, and the service was great.2019-04-13"

"Great rates. We checked in on a rainy, blustery day. The check-in clerk upgraded us to a room facing the ocean, which was much appreciated. It was clean and nicely appointed, and the clerk was warm, friendly, and recommended The Spot for a late lunch, and it was a super bar and grill with a wonderful fireplace.2018-01-12"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
