"The motel room was clean but smelled musty, and our room was right next to the noisy ice machine. We had a hard time sleeping. Don't stay here.2018-03-13"
"The motel room needed a facelift, and the carpet was dirty. It was nice having a microwave and fridge, but the AC was noisy. The bed sagged, the bedsheets were too short, and there was no extra blanket in the room. Poor water pressure in the shower. The vanity area was small, but I liked having it outside the bathroom. Nice grounds and awesome staff.2016-04-05"
"Good location, and the price was right. My room needed improvement. I had trouble with the sink, which was repaired. The AC made a funny noise that was annoying at night. My room was never cleaned until late afternoon, which was also annoying. Motel employees were nice and accommodating, though.2015-03-08"

"Great place for the price. The motel room was perfect, and I loved the outside patio. The employees were friendly and provided great customer service. Breakfast was hot and fresh.2016-11-15"
"The sink wouldn't drain at all, so I couldn't use it to wash my hands or brush my teeth. Decent motel other than that.2015-12-07"
"Good location. Nice motel room and great breakfast.2015-03-06"
"The fluorescent light under the TV in the living room fell down to the desk. I reported it and a maintenance man just taped it back up to the TV; it fell down again 5 minutes later. The checkout clerk didn't seem at all concerned. Nice hotel otherwise.2016-02-21"

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.
