"We were uncomfortable with the neighborhood at first, but it turned out to be convenient, quiet, and safe. The motel room was attractive, and the bed was clean and comfortable. I slept like a baby.2018-06-24"
"Nice experience. Close to Cal State Long Beach. The hotel was clean and secure. I requested a quiet room on an upper floor, and that's what I got. The AC worked well, and there was plenty of hot water for showers. Check-in was easy, and the motel clerk was efficient, friendly, and provided a list of local restaurants. Adequate breakfast with excellent coffee. Walk to Loaded Cafe for excellent burgers; you'll have to drive if you want to dine at more upscale restaurants.2018-06-12"

HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
