"Reasonably priced. Nice, clean room. The hotel clerk was helpful and engaging and spent a considerable amount of time helping me choose a good restaurant. The night staff was less than helpful. Entry to the lobby at night required a key card, and the staff ignored me as I stood in the pouring rain trying to get the door open.2018-11-27 "

"Close to downtown and many restaurants, including one just adjacent to the motel. Good rates. The room was clean, and the employees were pleasant. Great breakfast with a full menu of selections. 2019-05-19 "
"The motel was by the highway, so there was some traffic noise. The beds and pillows were super comfortable, and I liked the fancy coffee. We enjoyed our stay.2018-07-31 "
"Easy to access, but a sign at the entrance would help. Everything was clean and orderly. The chain lock on the room door was broken; the hotel clerk offered to have it fixed, but I declined since we wanted to nap. The bed was comfortable.2018-01-15 "

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.
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.hotels , on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
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? -
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.
