"The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. The employees were great; the alarm clock in my room didn't work, and they replaced it immediately. My key card didn't work the 2nd day, and it was replaced right away, too. Outstanding breakfast buffet with a good selection.2018-04-03"

"A great, affordable hotel. Lots of restaurants and shops in the area. Just on the outskirts of Columbus; right off the highway and easy to find.2017-09-11"
"Superb hotel room, and the dining staff was exceptional. No one directed us to the elevator closest to our room, so we ended up on an elevator far from our room. Bring a bathing suit.2015-07-21"
"Good-sized hotel room and bathroom. No microwave in the room.2015-07-09"
"TV didn't work, and some of the lights didn't, either. No one answered the phone when I called for room service; I called the front desk and was transferred to the restaurant. My food order was taken and lost. I called 90 minutes later and was told they had lost my room number. Wouldn't stay at this hotel again.2015-02-10"

"The motel was clean and affordable. We were happy.2019-08-26"
"The motel was in a good location. Clean, spacious room, but the bed was too hard. The hallway and my "non-smoking" room smelled like stale smoke. You get what you pay for.2015-10-26"
"I was disappointed with my hotel room. The carpet and bathroom floor weren't clean, and the only things that were accessible were the wide doorways and adaptive sink countertop in the bathroom. The toilet was low, and there was no walk-in shower. The front desk clerk wasn't friendly or forthcoming with answers to our questions.2021-07-27"
"The hotel room was clean and comfortable, but the ice bucket was broken. The blinds pull was broken and sharp. The shower water was lukewarm. No hair dryer. I was told at check-in that there was a breakfast, but that wasn't true. I was disappointed.2021-07-27"

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.
