"We had a pleasant stay. The room was spacious and clean. From check-in to checkout, the staff was helpful and professional. The pool was always filled with kids, so I wasn't able to swim for exercise. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, and definitely a reason to consider staying at this hotel.2019-09-05"
"Good experience. Stay at this hotel.2018-09-01"
"The motel was nice, clean, and reasonably priced, and the room was ready when we arrived. All the employees were kind, helpful, and always smiling. The complimentary breakfast was way better than we expected. Make a reservation.2018-04-26"
"There were 5 of us in the room, but only enough supplies for 2. No linens on the spare bed, and not enough pillows provided. The bedsheets were rough and uncomfortable. No batteries in the TV remote control, and the hotel staff refused to bring us any. Don't stay here.2017-10-24"
"The 1st hotel room was stuffy and had an odor; I was moved to a 1st floor room in the farthest building from the lobby, which made me nervous. I saw several homeless people by the vacant building across from mine. On a positive note, the bed was somewhat comfortable, the shower was clean, and there was plenty of hot water.2016-10-29"
"The hotel room was nice and comfortable. The employees at the front desk and in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. The parking lot was huge, so I thought the parking fee was ridiculous. Apart from that, don't hesitate to stay here.2015-10-06"
"Nice hotel with great personnel. Breakfast wasn't free, but it was the best thing I've ever tasted.2015-08-27"
"The hotel was a little pricey, but worth it. The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff could've been a little friendlier and more detailed with information. Amazing breakfast buffet. Parking cost extra. A good experience.2015-05-19"
"Great rates for a great stay. The hotel was clean. Go for it.2019-08-01"
"I stayed at this hotel for 5 days, and my only complaint was that there was no microwave in my room, and the TV didn't work the entire time. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive, and the food was great. We even got a free breakfast before we took our test. I was charged for parking even though I didn't bring a car, but the charge was quickly removed.2016-10-09"
"Good location. The hotel was clean, and our room was quiet despite the freeway being pretty close. The staff was friendly. Stay here.2022-02-28"
"Close to Exposition events, restaurants, stores, and a cinema. Despite being near the freeway, the hotel was quiet. All the employees were helpful and provided accurate information about property amenities. Consider staying here.2022-01-23"
"The room was super clean and quiet, but the quilt on the bed was too warm for summer. Nice front desk staff. The hotel cafe had a nice menu, and we had a lovely dinner and breakfast there. No complimentary breakfast.2019-10-19"
"The AC in my room was so loud that it was hard to sleep. The phone message light was blinking, but the message was a few months old. I asked the hotel clerk to have it turned off, but that never happened. One of the 2 elevators was noisy. Not enough parking. There were other options in the area.2021-06-07"
"Good amenities. Stay at this hotel.2020-08-31"

"The entire hotel was clean, and the room was nice. The front desk clerks were extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool was pleasant. Book it.2021-08-14"
"The room was OK, but the TV was old and the user guide was clumsy. I heard road noise from the nearby freeway. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. No housekeeping service during my 4-night stay at this hotel. I had to ask for all my needs at the front desk. Breakfast was quite limited; not even the hotel's signature cinnamon rolls were available.2021-07-08"
"The motel room was clean and comfortable.2019-04-11"
"We arrived at 2 AM, and the hotel clerk was quite helpful. The room was clean, and the linens were beautiful. Good-sized bathroom. The only drawback was that there was some wear near the kitchen. All the employees were courteous, and the housekeepers were helpful and always greeted us. I'd stay here again, and I'm picky.2018-12-31"
"There was only one hotel clerk on duty. Breakfast ended too early. There were a number of homeless people hanging around the property. The pool wasn't clean, and there was a lot of trash in the entry to our room.2023-07-31"
"The room was filthy. There was trash in the ice bucket and behind the credenza. There was hair and dirt in the bathroom corners, and the bathtub was dirty. We had to buy a plunger for the plugged toilet. Only one set of towels was provided, and we had to ask for 2 days before getting an additional set. Don't stay at this motel.2022-05-02"
"We arrived at 4 PM, but were given a room that hadn't been serviced. We were given another room, but it wasn't ready, either. The 3rd room was ready and was nice. There was sketchy activity going on at the back side of the motel. Check for better options.2021-09-20"
"The hotel room was quiet and clean, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. I loved the smoke-free environment. Nice pool. A customer was complaining loudly in the lobby while I was trying to enjoy breakfast. It was a bit tricky getting in and out of the parking lot, as it's at a busy intersection right off the freeway. 2018-06-11"
"This hotel was inexpensive but gross. There were no thresholds on the room doors. Loud young people made noise in the hallways. Our room smelled like marijuana our entire stay, and the lobby smelled like mold. The bathroom floor was sticky. Find another place to stay.2017-06-13"

"The motel was close to the freeway, so it was noisy. OK otherwise.2021-08-30"
"I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel. We arrived at 11 PM and had to ring a bell on the side of the building and talk through a bullet-proof glass window to the employee inside. Not a great way to start. There was a sign by the elevator that it wasn't reliable due to electrical issues, so we carried our luggage up the stairs to our 3rd floor room. Our room smelled like chlorine; the fence below had barbed wire and razor wire. Not reassuring. The beds were hard, and the pillows were flat. The AC was loud. Cheap lobby; no freebies except a coffee thermos. The staff didn't speak English well. Barely a place to sleep.2016-08-25"
"I liked the security in the parking lot at night, but shady-looking people were outside smoking all night. Pay more and stay at another hotel.2015-09-22"

"I've stayed at this hotel several times, but this stay was sub-par. The pool was filthy, and there were no pool towels. The ice machine on our floor was broken, and the food and condiments weren't re-stocked.2022-03-29"

"Great hotel, but it would have been better if the tissue and toilet paper had been softer.2020-07-10"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
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.
