"The heater in my hotel room didn't work. It took 3 calls and 2 hours before it was fixed, and then it wouldn't stop running. I ended up turning it off and had to open the patio door to cool the room off.2023-11-11"
"The restaurant wasn't open during posted hours, but I recommend this hotel.2022-01-17"

"Great location. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff was friendly. Go for it.2017-11-27"
"The room was clean and nicely appointed. However, there were no hangers in the armoire, and there was no fridge. There was an ironing board, but no iron. Traffic noise from I-5 made it difficult to sleep. There were lines of people at the elevators, and the security cards rarely worked. No airport shuttle. Find another hotel.2021-06-01"
"The hotel was run-down. No cable TV or breakfast. The staff wasn't able to answer questions. Don't stay here.2023-08-04"
"The room was well-appointed, but the hotel was so noisy that I couldn't sleep even with the provided ear plugs. The staff and valets were helpful and efficient. Good breakfast, and the attendant helped us get a to-go container.2020-02-21"
"The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful, and I liked the valet service. Breakfast wasn't economical.2018-07-27"
"The hotel was under construction, and I woke at 7 AM to a the sound of a jackhammer on the other side of the bedroom wall. No fridge in the room. I was given a handicap room, and the shower flooded the bathroom floor. The exercise room in my garage is better than the one at this hotel, and it was too warm. No on-site restaurant, and the bartender in the small lounge overcharged me. Not a 4-star hotel; be prepared for a 2-star experience.2016-12-26"

"Clean room and friendly, helpful staff. Stay at this hotel.2018-06-08"
"In the heart of the Gaslight District, so there was easy access to restaurants and stores. Seemed expensive for the size and view. Our room was the size of a postage stamp, and it was noisy since it faced the street. Our "city view" was of a tall office building. The hotel lobby had dim lighting.2015-04-26"
"The hotel was old and pricey. Shop around for a better option.2019-04-18"
"Located downtown, with lots to do in within walking distance. The hotel room was nice, clean, and had a great view. The only negatives were the $40 parking fee and $20 facility fee.2018-01-11"
"Wonderful hotel. I especially loved the fresh flowers all over; the aroma was intoxicating. Great staff; they even sent off a FedEx box for me. The $36 parking fee was steep.2015-09-21"
"The hotel room was a bit small and had a view of the room, but it was elegant and comfortable. I appreciated getting a room far from the noisy elevator, but I was a bit nervous about being right by the staircase.2018-10-27"
"Great experience overall. The hotel staff was professional and friendly, and pets were accommodated. Had to pay for parking, though, and the nearest park for pets was a few miles away.2019-01-15"
"Don't waste your money. The hotel room was small, the curtains wouldn't close all the way, and the phone didn't work. Poor service, too. Won't stay again.2015-06-08"
"Great downtown location. The hotel was quiet, and the employees were nice and helpful.2019-08-05"

"The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet. I was charged for the in-room safe, which I didn't use.2018-09-27"

"Nice hotel. The room was spacious, but the heater was noisy when it cycled off. The bathtub was small. Friendly employees and great customer service. No meat at breakfast.2018-01-14"
"The motel was less than a mile from the Naval Medical Center. The door didn't seem secure, so I didn't feel comfortable. There was a musty smell throughout the building. Parking cost $20. Definitely not a 3-star place.2021-11-01"
"An OK hotel. You get what you pay for.2016-12-28"
"This was the hotel from hell. There was trash under the bed. The towels were stained, and we only got 1 bar of soap for 4 people. When we asked for more, the staff told us that was all we were getting. There were tiny flies in the cups in the room. The breakfast bread was in zip lock bags. I'll never stay here again.2015-08-13"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

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.
