"The motel room was unexpectedly large, clean, and quiet, especially since we were right next to an elevator. We were in the D wing, which seemed newer than other wings. Breakfast lasted 4 hours and had a lot of variety. An incredible value; we were thrilled.2015-08-24"
"This was one of the most negative experiences I've had at a hotel. We stayed for 5 nights and had to have the key card re-set 7 or 8 times, and the staff blamed us for the problem. The TV didn't work. An employee walked into our room without knocking, though we'd already arranged a late checkout. The front desk clerk was kind and respectful, but we weren't offered compensation for the key issue.2017-07-06"

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.
