"Not worth the price. The hotel was nice, but the bed was too hard. The saltwater pool was warmer than the whirlpool. However, the whirlpool tub in the room was great, and so was breakfast.2017-05-16"

"This hotel is OK as a last resort, but the 1st floor exterior door didn't lock, and our room keys for both our rooms were temperamental. The room was humid, but the AC did work. The tile on the bathroom floor was damaged. The housekeepers did their best under the circumstances. The lobby was clean, and breakfast was tasty. No hot water for tea, though.2020-08-17"

"The curtains in my hotel room didn't block out light from the parking lot. The toilet seat was broke, and there was no water pressure in the shower. Not enough towels provided. There were cigarette butts in the pool area. Nothing but starchy food at breakfast.2017-05-31"

"Super-clean room. The hotel employees were helpful and pleasant. We were lost, and they guided us by phone to the hotel. Disappointed that there was no meat at breakfast. Worth the extra money.2015-04-22"
"Nice hotel with friendly staff. I especially appreciated the nice note left by housekeeping. There was no way to keep the fan running when the heating and cooling unit wasn't running. I liked the walk-in shower, but a bathtub or whirlpool near the pool would've been great. Breakfast couldn't been better.2019-03-24"

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.
