"About a 45-minute walk from downtown, and there was nothing in the area. My king marina view room was amazing. However, I asked for a room change the 2nd night because of a crying baby in the room next door and ended up in a room above the front door of the hotel facing the street. Wonderful hotel clerks and manager.2022-03-11"

"Good experience. The hotel was close to the airport and downtown, and was easy to find. The room was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and pre-checked us in and stored our luggage after we got off the cruise ship. Nice walks in the area. I didn't like the grab and go breakfast.2022-01-18"

"Don't expect any bells or whistles at this hotel. Convenient to MCRD, but there was a spiked fence around the lattice fence surrounding the upstairs balcony. The room reminded me of military barracks. The staff was friendly. Be careful leaving the parking garage; the incline scraped the bottom of my car. OK if you're budget-minded, but don't stay here if you want semi-luxury.2017-09-20"

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.
