"We were happy to stay with our dog, but our pet-friendly room didn't smell good. The mattress wasn't that comfortable, but other than that, our stay was fine. Ask for a room away from the highway.2017-09-25"

"The coffee maker in my room didn't work. The shower curtain rod was loose, so water went all over the bathroom. We had to ask for more towels to mop up the water. Consider other hotels.2020-11-16"

"Everything was nice, and the rates were reasonable. The hotel was in a quiet area. The room was clean and fairly quiet, and the bed was comfortable, but our room was on the 3rd floor and the elevator was out of service. Check-in was simple and quick. If you're looking for a centrally-located place right off Highway 50, this is a good choice.2018-12-20"

The front desk clerks were helpful and friendly. No hot water for showers the last morning; I was compensated with a free breakfast, but it wasn't very good. Nice lobby; we had a gathering at the large table, and it was comfortable and inviting.2016-09-08"

The bathroom tiles were broken, and the grout was missing. There was a purple stain on the wall behind and above the toilet, and the bathroom door trim was 2 different colors. Other guests were noisy, and I smelled marijuana smoke. The front desk clerk appeared to be a trainee, and the written WiFi password was hard to read. All the amenities were closed because of Covid.

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.
