"The hotel had a stale smell. We were given a room far from the elevator. Local TV channels weren't available, and the reception was poor. The hotel clerk insisted it was working fine, but finally moved us to another room. The TV had similar reception problems. The parking lot lights were turned off late at night. We were disappointed. Don't stay here.2021-11-08"

"Nice, clean, organized hotel. The staff was friendly and dedicated. Stay here.2017-07-11"
"The hotel smelled like stale cigarette smoke, including our non-smoking room. The bed was hard as a rock. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but I'd suggest looking for alternative accommodations.2017-04-13"
"We've stayed at this hotel before, but this time it wasn't as enjoyable. We got a 1st floor room as requested, but the hallway reeked of cigarette smoke. We could even smell it in our non-smoking room, and the deodorizer used by the housekeeper was even worse. The room was nice and well-kept, but the bathroom wasn't clean enough; there was hair on the floor that was never cleaned.2016-06-15"
"The hotel room was clean and reasonably priced, and the beds were comfortable. This place is a good choice.2020-03-02"

"Good, clean motel room with comfortable beds. The continental breakfast was a farce. The bagels and mini-muffins didn't look appetizing, and there was no milk for the cereal. Worst of all, there was no coffee. Don't stay here.2017-08-29"

"We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights. The room was great, and the employees were helpful. It was handy having a fridge and stovetop. Towels and linens weren't refreshed every day. There was nowhere for kids to play except the parking lot, though. 2018-07-18"
"Our smoke-free room smelled like cigarette smoke. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the pillows were square and lumpy. We couldn't get the TV to work properly, and it didn't have premium channels that were listed. The hotel clerks were new and unfamiliar with the property, and there were no senior staff members around. We were so disappointed.2022-05-31"

"We were pleased with every aspect of our stay at this hotel. We had 3 families with 8 people, and the pool was so much fun for the kids. The staff didn't say anything when they swam before the 10 AM opening time. Great experience.2023-03-07"
"The hotel was outdated and didn't seem clean. We noticed bird droppings all over the railing surrounding the entrance, and the front door was dirty. The room was dated and smelled musty. We woke up in the morning to tiny ants all over the dresser and garbage. The check-in clerk was fine. We did swim in the pool and saw two fake nails floating in the water. Breakfast was muffins and yogurt, and the table next to ours wasn't clean.2020-08-02"

"Nice hotel. Clean, comfortable room. Pleasant, courteous staff. Nice interior and pool area. There was a little restaurant and bar, and a fire pit outside, but the path to them was poorly lit. Not enough outdoor trash cans to discard of pet waste. I really liked this place.2015-06-23"

"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the employees were kind. Definitely stay here.2016-10-04"
"Good value. The hotel room was large and plain, but comfortable and clean. The Internet connection didn't work well. The diner next door served as the office; the clerks were also restaurant workers, so service was uneven. There were some fairly nice restaurants within a 10-minute drive. Great for a short stay.2016-08-18"
"The hotel was fine. The room was clean, but it definitely wasn't warm or cozy. The continental breakfast wasn't edible; the griddle was dirty, and there was no juice. Bring your own pillows and an extra blanket.2020-03-02"

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.
