"Walk to malls, shops, and restaurant. About a 15-minute walk to downtown transit connections and the free trolley to Fisherman's Wharf and the aquarium. Good value. We had a better than expected stay at this hotel. It had new exterior paint, new parking lot surface, and colorful flowers. It was quieter than anticipated. The room was updated; nice design and quality finishes. There were a number of selections at the continental breakfast. We were pleased with our choice; give it a try.2017-11-12"

"The motel was OK if you just want a place to sleep. The bed was comfortable, but there was no AC, which made for a warm August night.

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.
