"Clean room with comfortable beds. All the motel employees were police and helpful, and breakfast was good. I appreciated the shuttle rides from the airport and to downtown. I stayed for 4 nights, but only got an hour of sleep one night due to noisy guests. Ask for a room away from the stairway.2017-09-14"
"Great experience. The motel staff was excellent and customer-oriented. The shuttle wasn't available when we landed at the airport, so the motel paid for our taxi ride. Highly recommend.2016-06-13"

"Convenient location. This hotel was a good choice. The room was freshly painted and had new carpeting, new linens, and a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful. The on-site laundry facility was a plus, as was the shuttle service.2017-07-10"
"The hotel wasn't well-maintained. The mattress was so old and soft that I was sore when I woke up. Find another place to stay.2016-08-15"
"Short walk from the airport. There were no towels or washcloths in the room when we arrived, and the drinking glasses and ice bucket were on the bathroom floor. Only 3 of 6 lightbulbs worked. The clerk got us towels, but no one was available to replace the lightbulbs. The hotel had an airport shuttle; the driver was nice and knowledgeable.2015-06-09"
"Not within walking distance of the airport, and there was nothing nearby. The hotel staff wasn't friendly or helpful with even simple requests like restaurant recommendations.2015-08-19"
"Great location. I liked the room layout and kitchenette, but the service was lacking. I asked for extra towels, dish soap, and cutlery and had to get them myself. Poor housekeeping; The bedding on the sofa bed was dirty, and our room was barely serviced each day. If you stay at this hotel, don't expect any extras.2016-01-05"
"I had a good stay at this hotel. The room was clean and updated with nice decor. I had a hard time controlling the temperature, though. Parking could be an issue during the busy season. You'll enjoy the views and staying here.2015-11-10"

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.
