"Great location just off the main drag. Close to the stateline, Heavenly, and the marina, but still very quiet. More like a resort than a motel. There were lots of activities, like ping pong, bikes, BBQ grills, music by the pool, and more. Ask for an activities schedule. The room was updated and clean, and the employees were friendly but not intrusive. There was a grassy area in front with picnic tables and benches. The atmosphere was really friendly.2019-08-01"

"The motel wasn't that clean. My room was run-down, the carpet was dirty, and there was no refrigerator. The mattress was as soft as a sponge. Don't stay here.2017-01-02"

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.
