"Excellent accommodations for a reasonable price. The hotel room was quiet.2023-06-23"
"The hotel room looked clean and in good condition, but the sofa bed mattress pad and cover were dirty. When I looked in the closet for linens, I found a basket with dirty sanitary napkins in it. When we asked for someone to change the bedding, we were given a key to another room and told to take the linens from there and put them on the sofa bed. The pool and pool area were absolutely filthy; the water was so dirty, I could barely see the bottom of the pool. Don't stay here.2022-03-31"

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.
