"The hotel was centrally located and close to the harbor walk. Our room was clean, but there was old food in the fridge. The staff was attentive and offered to book us a taxi to go to the airport the next day. 2019-05-24"

"Great location on the waterfront in the heart of town. The room was clean and well-appointed and had a great view. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Stay more than one night.2017-05-01"
"The beds were comfortable, and the AC was perfectly located on the wall at the base of the beds. Great view from our room. If you have mobility issues, ask for a handicap room. The bathtub in our hotel room was awkward to get in and out of, and the shampoo and body wash were too highly placed for short people. I actually appreciated that housekeeping didn't change the towels daily; it was nice to have our privacy. Breakfast was adequate.2023-07-25"
"The motel was comfortable and clean. I had some trouble figuring out the lamp switches. Great stay other than that.2022-10-03"
"Although the front desk clerk was amazing and accommodating, I wasn't impressed overall. The motel was smelly. Our room was musty. We asked for a late checkout, but our key cards didn't work in the morning. I wouldn't stay here again.2022-09-12"
"The hotel room was clean, and the housekeeper was thorough. Our room was next to the highway, though, and it was too noisy to open the window. Excellent service and helpful employees. The continental breakfast was far more than I expected and had many choices. The restaurant only served breakfast.2016-09-18"

"Good location. An average, updated but older hotel, but it had above-average views, patios, amenities, and friendly employees. I enjoyed my beach side room and the outdoor gazebo. Bring binoculars to watch the geese.2017-08-24"
"Handy location for family activities. There was a fun park next door, and a huge public park just minutes away with a large water park and ocean boardwalk. We had a beautiful room with a balcony right by the ocean. It was awesome and so relaxing. The hotel clerks were polite and helpful and had great senses of humor. We asked for a fridge and got one in less than an hour, and there was no problem with our dog. The indoor pool and whirlpool were closed for cleaning during our stay, which disappointed our granddaughter. We were able to have our dog with us at the restaurant as long as we sat at a table by the grass.2017-08-14"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
