"I loved the location. The hotel room was lovely, but the water heater and AC were quite noisy. Great service at the front desk. The bar wasn't that good. Go to Sweet Maple for breakfast.2017-09-28"
"The room was clean. The staff was nice enough to upgrade me to a room with a double bed. I didn't sleep well due to industrial or construction noise. Very little parking at the hotel; I had to park at a meter.2016-01-25"
"Just a few blocks from City Hall, the opera house, lots of coffee shops and restaurants, and bus routes. We walked everywhere. This hotel was just right for the price. The room was spacious and clean, but dated. Had a fridge, microwave, sofa, table and chairs, and a nice, big TV. No clock in the room. The beds were comfortable. Nice helpful clerks at the front desk. Parking was free and in a garage.2015-04-14"
"The rates were reasonable. The hotel lounge was beautiful and had fascinating Victorian antiques. The room was well-decorated, and the elevator was easy to access. Helpful, friendly personnel and nice breakfast. If you like Victoriana, you'll love this place.2021-12-09"

"Close to USCF. The motel was nicely updated, and the room was nice and clean. Our room with 2 queen beds was small but comfortable. No microwave, though. Easy check-in and checkout. The staff was helpful and responded immediately if we needed something. I'd stay here again.2021-03-21"

"Great location. The entire hotel had a strong fragrance odor that wasn't pleasant. The bed linens were shabby. There was a rusty light fixture in the bathroom, and it took a few minutes for the water to get hot. The towels were plush. Friendly staff and competitive rates.2017-11-06"
"Great theater location. Excellent hotel for the price. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The pillows could've been better, and the TV needed to be upgraded. The water pressure could've been stronger, too. The front desk clerks were helpful. Parking was pricey. The attached restaurant, Mel's, was good for late-night dining.2016-01-21"
"The motel was noisy at night from the bar at Chamber's, so I had to leave the TV on to drown out the music and yelling people. Other than that, my stay was fine.2017-06-06"

"Located in a dicey area, and I wouldn't recommend walking to or from the hotel. Good hotel and staff, though. The room was clean and updated, and the bed was comfortable. The check-in clerk was friendly and made sure I knew about all pertinent options. The morning clerks were helpful and efficient. The continental breakfast was oatmeal, cereal, apples, and bananas. The attached little restaurant had good evening tapas and drinks. The shuttle was reliable and safe, and the driver was friendly.2015-06-10"
"The room was OK, but the bed felt like sleeping on a board. We're older and avoid stairs, but our room location required walking down stairs to catch the elevator. The restaurant was dull, and the menu was limited. The drinks were overpriced, and the ambiance was lacking. No valet parking, and the parking fee was outrageous. Don't stay at this hotel.2018-09-07"
"A very enjoyable stay. Don't hesitate to book at this hotel.2016-02-28"

"We had to wait 20 minutes for someone to show up at the motel and check us in; when I tried to call the property, the call went to voice mail. The check-in clerk did upgrade us to a room with a whirlpool tub, but it was slippery and there were no grab bars. The room was clean and nice enough, but there were no blankets or bedspread on the bed. Thankfully, the heater worked. The fridge was noisy, and there was some street noise. Parking was free.2017-12-01"

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.
