"The room was clean, but the hallway carpet was filthy. The hotel clerks were friendly. Lots of options at breakfast, but the eggs were cold. If you need a place to stay while traveling, it's sufficient, but I wouldn't stay here for a vacation.2022-10-29"
"The room was basically clean, and the AC worked well. The carpet was worn, though, and the door was bad. The bedspread was stained, and there was mildew on the shower curtain. If you're picky, don't stay at this motel.2020-08-17"

"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"

"Good experience overall. The hotel was quiet and clean, but the layout was odd. The complimentary breakfast was nothing to brag about.2018-05-01"
"The hotel exterior was OK, but the interior was not.The TV area in our room was dusty, and there were flying bugs on the furniture. The coffee table had a thick coat of dust. The bedding and linens were clean, and the bathroom was clean and well-stocked.2018-04-24"
"OK room for the price. The cable TV wasn't good at all, but the AC was great. The fridge wasn't cold. Bring kitchen supplies. The toilet and sink both stopped up. Easy check-in. Staff was nice and friendly, and the front desk clerks were very helpful. I felt safe at this hotel and would stay again.2015-04-14"
"The carpet in my room and throughout the hotel was dirty. The walls in my room were dirty. The bathroom sink was cracked, and the shower needed work. The front desk clerk stood at the desk eating a full plate of food, which I thought was unprofessional. No overhang at the entrance to keep guests out of the rain. Try a different hotel.2023-01-10"

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.
