"Great location. The hotel was in good condition overall. Housekeeping was OK, but I had to ask for better overall cleaning; it improved after I talked to the front desk clerk. The bedsheets had holes in them, and the blankets were torn. The sheer curtains were missing on one window, and the chair was filthy. I was disappointed.2017-05-07"

Be prepared to pay $17 for valet parking. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We'd absolutely stay here again.2019-09-12"

No property information in the room. The cold water faucet was loose, and it took two hands to turn it on and off. There were no snack machines, and the on-site store closed at 9 PM. Don't stay here.2019-05-17"

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.
