"You get what you pay for. The hotel was dusty and the walls and lampshade were dirty. The TV was tiny and oddly located. We did appreciate having a microwave and fridge. The continental breakfast was as minimal as can be. Don't expect much.2019-06-04"
"Room had paper-thin walls. Not only heard the lady on the phone in the next room, I heard the person she was talking to. I had to call the front desk 3 times about noisy guests late at night. Disappointed there was no whirlpool and no decaffeinated coffee at breakfast. Look for another hotel.2015-03-02"

How Do We Define Motel?

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
