"Excellent location near many stores. OK motel, but the check-in area smelled awful. A large group of loud people smoked and drank on the balcony. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking from my car to my room alone. The coffee maker didn't work. However, I liked the room. It was well-decorated, and the pillows were comfortable. The morning clerks were cold, but the checkout clerk was nice. I don't recommend staying here.2016-03-21"

"The motel was in an industrial area and close to the freeway, so there was a lot of traffic noise. However, the grounds and interior were nice, and I felt safe and comfortable. My room was clean and nicely appointed with a fridge, microwave, and hair dryer. The bed was comfortable. No area information or TV channel guide provided. Nice lobby, and the front desk was always manned. The staff was friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast included make-your-own waffles. I'd stay here again.2017-01-13"

"We rang the bell at the front desk for 5 minutes before the hotel clerk appeared. I requested a room on an upper floor so I didn't have to listen to people walking around overhead, but was given a 2nd floor room and had to listen to the noise. The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. OK breakfast, but items ran out and there was no attendant to replace them or clean the tables. I don't recommend staying here.2017-10-21"

"The motel had seen better days, and we didn't feel safe because the area seemed deserted. The office and lobby were under renovation, and the front desk was housed in a trailer. The room itself was clean and newly renovated. The grab and go breakfast was ridiculous, and the dining choices in the area were dismal. Keep driving.2018-10-23"

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.
