"The room was spacious, and breakfast was good. The staff wasn't consistently customer service-oriented, though. We tried calling for hours to inform the staff we'd be arriving late, but we were never able to get through. When we arrived, the hotel clerk said she'd used the phone and it worked fine. The heating and cooling unit was so loud it interrupted our sleep. Never got our requested wake-up call. Even though the room rates weren't cheap, we also had to pay for parking. We won't return.2018-12-05"

"Nice hotel overall. The room and grounds were lovely. But my phone never worked, and the repairman couldn't fix it. They didn't speak English well and implied it was a wiring issue. I had to move the coffee maker since there was no electrical outlet nearby. There was a large clump of hair in the bathtub.2019-02-26"

"About a 45-minute walk from downtown, and there was nothing in the area. My king marina view room was amazing. However, I asked for a room change the 2nd night because of a crying baby in the room next door and ended up in a room above the front door of the hotel facing the street. Wonderful hotel clerks and manager.2022-03-11"

"I had a good hotel stay. The room was clean, and the food was OK. I heard a lot of street noise in my beach-side room. All the employees were helpful, and the breakfast attendant kept the area clean and well-stocked.2018-04-08"
"Prime location across from the harbor, restaurants, and fishing boats. Not worth the price, though. The hotel room wasn't ready on time, and the lobby was chaotic at check-in time. The AC vent in the ceiling of our room dripped water onto the carpet. The bed was uncomfortable, and there was a gap at the bottom of the door that let in light and noise. No AC in the hallways and elevators, so they smelled musty. Parking was free. Rooms with 2 queen beds seemed to have the best views.2016-08-03"
"Room was comfortable. Hotel clerks were friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle didn't start running until 7 AM, so if you have an early flight, you might want to stay somewhere else.2015-03-17"

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.
