"Security at this motel was minimal. The housekeeper partially serviced my room one day and left the door unsecured. Anyone could have accessed my room. I noticed the housekeeping cart down the hall, and several other room doors ajar. Another day, the front desk clerk gave a new guest a key to my room. Poor breakfast. Try another place.2023-02-22"
"The eggs at breakfast could've been better.2023-01-05"
"The entry light didn't work. The toilet rocked, the towels were paper-thin, and there was no hair dryer. I asked for one, but it didn't work and no replacement was offered. Don't stay at this motel.2021-05-28"
"The door lock was hanging by one screw, and the battery door for the remote control was broken so the batteries kept falling out. I woke up to a dead cockroach on the floor. The bedsheets were worn and thin, and the towels smelled like vinegar. The water pressure was terrible. No tissues provided. On a positive note, the beds were comfortable, the AC worked well, and there was plenty of hot water. The staff was pleasant. Don't stay at this motel.2021-12-06"

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.
