"Everything was great, and the room was clean. I recommend this hotel.2018-02-13"
"Right on the highway, so the traffic noise was deafening; at the pool and inner patio, the noise drowned out conversation. The hotel was spotless, and housekeeping was stellar. My room was large and well-appointed, but the pillows were puffs of nothingness. The employees were professional and helpful, though I wish they'd been more knowledgeable about area restaurants. The breakfast area was large and terrific, but the food left something to be desired.2017-09-21"

"Worth the price. The hotel had breathtaking views. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed the pools, arcade, BBQ grills, walking area, basketball courts, and playground.2019-06-10"
"An excellent hotel in a quiet area. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff was friendly. I loved the whirlpool and pool. Not much selection at breakfast, though.2019-08-06"
"Clean hotel with amazing staff. The shuttle to LEGOLAND was the best part. The tiny safes at the front desk weren't big enough for my laptop.2018-08-07"
"Great location near restaurants and shops. The hotel exterior could use a facelift, but the room was clean and up-to-date. We were pleasantly surprised. Our kids loved the pool. We were quite pleased with our stay.2017-07-16"
"The hotel room was spacious, but it had a nasty smell. There was a lot of noise from outside and the room above ours. The toilet didn't flush, and the caulking around the bathtub was discolored and nasty.2021-11-15"
"I was given a handicap room, and it didn't smell good. I had to call the hotel clerk and request clean bedding or a room change. She said no other rooms were available. No continental breakfast.2018-07-17"
"Less than a mile from shops and restaurants. The beds in our hotel room were doubles, not queens. The pool was small, and the breakfast area was overcrowded. Poor parking. Don't recommend.2016-08-15"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

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.
