"Good downtown location. The hotel staff was friendly, but I wasn't happy about being given a handicap room just because I'm a senior citizen. The closet bars were too low to the ground, and the peephole was unusable unless I was on my knees.2021-09-28"
"The room was clean, and the hotel staff was helpful, but early check-in wasn't allowed and I was only given an extra hour when I asked for a late checkout. The pool was shared with another hotel, and there was no whirlpool.2016-08-16"
"There was hair in the shower. Check-in and checkout took too long. The pool was nasty. Don't expect much at this hotel.2016-05-13"
"A maintenance worker unlocked our room door and tried to come in at midnight. We didn't sleep a wink after that. Great check-in clerk, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this hotel.2016-04-13"
"I was disappointed with my stay. The computer froze up at check-in, and the motel staff didn't know what to do. They finally called a help desk to get them through the registration process. The lobby was small, and there was nowhere to sit. The TV in my room didn't work at all, and the alarm clock was broken. Don't stay here.2023-04-18"

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.
