"The hotel was comfortable and centrally located. Great rates. I was given an accessible room, but the door was heavy. All the employees were accommodating and willing to assist me since I'm in a wheelchair.2020-06-30"
"Right across the street from 2 hospitals. The coffee maker in my room didn't work. Great hotel staff.2019-04-28"
"Our hotel room had a view of the noisy freeway. The employees were fine. Parking was expensive, and entering the lot could be challenging. Nothing special other than the location.2016-09-07"
"Great location and reasonably priced. A small, charming motel on the ocean. The room was small, dated, and not the cleanest. No coffee pot or microwave. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Parking was expensive.2015-12-05"
"The motel was clean. The room size was modest. The parking area was cramped, and AC units were stacked by the handicap parking, which looked trashy.2018-06-10"
"We stayed at this motel for 4 nights, and there were 5 of us in the room. The AC didn't work well and leaked on the carpet; we didn't sleep well because it was too hot. The AC was replaced the next day, but the replacement was loud and shook and kept us awake. It was fixed the next day, but started shaking again our last night. Nice staff and good breakfast. Don't stay here.2017-07-29"

"This hotel was basic, clean, and quiet. I liked that the room windows opened for fresh air. The employees were pleasant and helpful. My favorite aspect of the hotel was the rooftop garden patio; it was funky, private, and had a nice view of the city at night. Some room remodeling was underway, but the construction noise was confined to daytime hours and ended by 5 PM.2015-12-19"

"The hotel was under construction; I had to drive from the reception area up a hill to a decrepit building and use a valet for parking. The hallways were 1-star, but the room was really nice. The staff vacuumed outside my door while I was napping one day. Stay elsewhere until renovations are complete.2016-01-07"
"A horrible hotel with cheap flooring and carpeting. The decor was loud and unappealing. The only saving grace was the excellent restaurant on the top floor, but it was quite expensive. Don't stay here.2023-11-13"
"Great location, but there was traffic noise from the freeway. Decent rates. No microwave in the hotel room, but they were available for rent for $10 per day. The staff was friendly. Great view from the restaurant, but the food wasn't as good as I'd hoped, and the cocktails were expensive. Parking cost $40 per night.2022-12-21"

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.
