"Close to the college. The room was clean, but the TV didn't work; I'd turn it on, and something else would turn it off. The hair dryer didn't work. No maintenance worker to fix anything. The snow on the sidewalk wasn't cleared. Just seemed like kind of a junky hotel. Go elsewhere.2016-03-06"

"Good location. The hotel room smelled musty. The phone didn't work, so we couldn't request a wake-up call. The toilet backed up the first time it was used, and the shower curtain didn't keep water in the shower. Great complimentary breakfast, though, and the attendant did a great job of supplying food and answering questions. Not a high-quality place overall, and the pool, whirlpool and dining area were over-run with kids.2016-08-16"

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.
