"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"

"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"

"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.

"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.

"A very enjoyable stay. Don't hesitate to book at this hotel.2016-02-28"

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.
