"The hotel room was spacious, but it had a nasty smell. There was a lot of noise from outside and the room above ours. The toilet didn't flush, and the caulking around the bathtub was discolored and nasty.2021-11-15"
"I was given a handicap room, and it didn't smell good. I had to call the hotel clerk and request clean bedding or a room change. She said no other rooms were available. No continental breakfast.2018-07-17"
"Less than a mile from shops and restaurants. The beds in our hotel room were doubles, not queens. The pool was small, and the breakfast area was overcrowded. Poor parking. Don't recommend.2016-08-15"

"Everything was great, and the room was clean. I recommend this hotel.2018-02-13"
"Right on the highway, so the traffic noise was deafening; at the pool and inner patio, the noise drowned out conversation. The hotel was spotless, and housekeeping was stellar. My room was large and well-appointed, but the pillows were puffs of nothingness. The employees were professional and helpful, though I wish they'd been more knowledgeable about area restaurants. The breakfast area was large and terrific, but the food left something to be desired.2017-09-21"

"Close to soccer fields and restaurants. We arrived early, and the hotel room wasn't ready. The suite was nice. Breakfast needed improvement, but we had a good stay.2018-04-12"
"Good hotel overall. The TV remote control and garbage disposal didn't work, though.2016-01-07"
"Close to the military ball, but we had a terrible stay at this motel. It's not a pretty place, and many of the rooms were being renovated. The staff was nice, but that was it. The room smelled like cat urine and cigarettes, so we had to air it out. Decent bed, but not enough electrical outlets nearby. There was no hot water for showers, and since it was cold outside, it was horrible having to shower in cold water. Noisy guests woke us up repeatedly. The laundry room was gross. This was the worst place I've ever stayed.2015-12-07"
"Terrible motel stay. If you have asthma, you might die. Management had no care in the world.2015-03-15"
"Great experience. The hotel was right next door to the train station, so if their horns bother you, don't stay here. The check-in clerk was helpful and professional, even though I didn't arrive until 10 PM. The room was spacious and had a sofa, desk, and king bed. I loved how clean it was, and it had good energy. 2019-07-07"
"The hotel room was nicely appointed, but I was quite disappointed that our room was right next to the train tracks. Trains blew their horns right as they went past our window. Only stay in rooms on the beach side.2016-08-19"

"Everything was fine but the sofa bed; I could feel the springs in the mattress, even when we put it on the floor. We had to ask for extra towels every day since there were 5 of us and we were only given enough for 3 people.2019-01-22"

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.
