"We were disappointed. Because of Covid-19, the hotel pool and whirlpool were closed, and there was no breakfast. No vending machines or late checkout either. The decorations were nice, but we were otherwise disappointed.2020-05-01"

"The hotel room was tiny and smelled musty. The blankets felt oily.2016-12-13"
"The motel was nice and clean, but the evening check-in clerk didn't tell us that breakfast ended before 9 AM. We got there at 8:50, and there was nothing left but a few green bananas.2022-09-11"
"Good motel if you're traveling with pets, since the pet rooms all seemed to be on the 1st floor. The room was clean enough, and there was no carpeting, which was good. Bring your own pet waste bags.2021-12-30"
"The motel was adequate for my needs. No working deadbolt on the room door, though, and I was on the 1st floor. There was too much furniture in the room. The only cups were coffee cups.2020-11-23"

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.
