"Good value if you don't need extra frills. This was our 2nd stay at this motel. Our room was large, clean, and pet-friendly, and it was convenient having a coffee maker and an extra sink outside the bathroom. The room needed better lighting, though, and the exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't even begin to clear the steam from showers. But the shower was great, and the bathtub drained well. Limited continental breakfast, and I had to ask the attendant to restock some items.2017-08-15"
"This motel was good enough for an overnight stay. The breakfast attendant was too busy with her cell phone to pay attention to keeping thing stocked. I had to ask her to get coffee, then milk, then orange juice.2017-05-11"
"Our stay at this hotel was poor. Our room only had a twin bed. There was an overhead light, but no desk lamp. The TV wouldn't come on; we were told to unplug the cable box. There were no washcloths and only half a roll of toilet paper, and the hotel clerk said we'd have to go upstairs to get more. The bathtub didn't drain well. 2018-05-21"
"The hotel was run-down and had a foul odor. The shady people there made me feel so uncomfortable that I didn't feel safe and decided to leave. It was so dirty that I didn't want my kids lying on the bed. Find somewhere else to stay.2023-03-13"

"No smoke alarm in the room. There was old food in the fridge. The bathroom was dirty, there were holes in the walls, and the tiles were falling off. The checkout clerk waited on people who came in after we did and made us wait, and we weren't asked how our stay was. Don't stay at this motel.2020-01-29"
"The motel room was dirty and smelled bad. There was too much chlorine in the pool. Slim pickings at breakfast, and items ran out early. Don't stay here; it's a waste of money.2015-11-24"

"The hotel was a bit dated and nothing outstanding. Get a king room with a fridge; the double bed rooms were small. Bathrooms in both room types were small.2016-10-13"
"The hotel was easy to access and close to restaurants and a Starbucks. Good place for the price, and pets were allowed. The soundproofing wasn't the best. I felt comfortable walking my dog alone at 10:30 PM in the grassy area around the property.2018-08-28"

"The hotel room was nice and clean. The bedding was fresh and included a mattress pad. However, I was disappointed that the pool water was cloudy and there were no towels. The pool room smelled like moldy flip-flops. We later found out someone had been sick in the pool, and it was closed the next day for cleaning.2018-05-11"

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.
