"The bedsheets were dirty. The hotel staff was friendly, and breakfast was OK.2021-11-15"
"Clean, updated room with good WiFi and water pressure. We could hear traffic from the highway, but it didn't keep us awake. Breakfast was convenient. I left my expensive pillow behind, and when I called, the hotel staff offered to mail it to me. Nice stay.2019-03-03"

"The motel charged $30 for pets. The room key didn't work, and neither did the TV remote control. No tissue in the dispenser. We didn't like having the adjoining door in our room. 2022-03-30"

"Just a bare-minimum motel. The continental breakfast was packaged food, and not good packaged food. The ice machines didn't work. An adequate place if you just need to sleep.2021-08-10"
"The room had an awful odor. Don't stay at this motel.2021-03-28"

"We couldn't sleep because of traffic noise from I-65, which was next to the hotel. We also heard room doors slamming. The room had a desk, but no table. We checked out at 4 AM. Look for other options.2023-06-11"
"A lightbulb on the terrace was burned out. No soap in the bathroom. The clothes dryer didn't work my entire stay, so no clean towels were offered. The ice maker didn't work. The service negated the beautiful decor of the hotel.2020-08-20"
"The hotel decor was lovely. Great mattress, pillows, and bedding. The only thing that needed improvement was the bathroom lighting; it was hard to put on makeup. Nice place to stay if you're willing to pay a premium rate.2016-11-17"
HotelGuides has won my confidence as a booking experience that is seamless and simple enough for a consumer who does not venture online much. It is now my starting place for fast, secure, carefree booking.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
