"Located in an industrial area. There was a shampoo bottle on the floor of our room with hair on it when we arrived. The wireless Internet was unreliable. Breakfast was all carbs. The employees were polite and helpful, but we felt we overpaid and don't recommend this hotel.2017-08-01 "
"Seemed overpriced. Our hotel room wasn't cleaned 2 of the 4 days we stayed. Breakfast was a joke. Don't stay here.2016-08-15 "
"Nice, clean room. We'd stay at this hotel again.2015-04-21 "

"Not a good value. I couldn't believe how smelly and shabby the hotel room was; it was run-down and dated. The only modern thing in the room was the Keurig coffee maker, but not enough condiments were provided. The bed was like an air bed. The bathroom was small, and there was nowhere to put toiletries. No exhaust fan either. Don't stay here.2022-01-17 "
"The hotel room was clean, but there were no blackout curtains. Great breakfast area, and there was a good variety of food.2018-12-04 "
"Nice hotel experience. The stairs were too slippery when it rained, though.2016-10-19 "

On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
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.
