"A quality experience for the price. The hotel room was clean, and everything worked well. Good water pressure in the shower. Check-in was fast and friendly, and checkout was trouble-free. Make a reservation.2016-11-28"
"The hotel was clean. We called ahead to see if we could check in early; the clerk said we could, but when we arrived, we were told the room had been given to someone else and we'd have to wait until 3 PM to check in. When we returned at 3, the room still wasn't ready. The key card barely worked. We called for a can opener but were on hold so long we gave up. Luckily, a housekeeper on our floor had one. Nice pool, but the lounge chairs were broken. I'll stay elsewhere next time.2019-06-05"

"Affordable hotel. Our room had a leaking toilet that flooded the floor a bit, so we had to change rooms. We went out, and the room was infested with ants by the time we returned. They were everywhere, even in the bed and fridge. We had to change rooms again, but the new room also had ants. We were finally moved to an ant-free room, but it smelled musty. By this time, it was 5 AM. We weren't charged for our stay, and the manager was apologetic, but I wouldn't stay again.2016-01-04"

"The hotel was dated and nasty. The lobby looked nice, but it was all downhill from there. The only positive was the friendly staff. We took the shuttle downtown, and called to be picked up at 9:45. At 11:15, we gave up and called a taxi. Find somewhere else to stay.2015-06-16"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.

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.
