I was able to change rooms, but it was again far from the lobby and right by the staircase. I didn't feel safe, and I didn't sleep well because of truck noise from the interstate. The motel clerk brushed me off when I asked why I was put in that room when the motel wasn't full.2017-11-06"

"Not worth the price. The hotel employees were nice, but the room was filthy. Even the toilet hadn't been cleaned. The carpet turned the bottom of our feet black.

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.
