"We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights, and the manager forgot to schedule our requested housekeeping service. When we asked about it, he made excuses. The TV reception on the 4th floor was awful. The only good thing was the excellent complimentary breakfast. Not a good value. We were disappointed.2023-06-12"

"The hotel was run-down other than the rooms. The key cards had to be re-set 5 times. Not enough towels and washcloths provided, so we had to ask for more. One of our two rooms ran out of toilet paper, and there was no spare roll. The toilet in one room ran; the maintenance man made it worse, so we had to call again to get it fixed. Not a great experience. 2023-04-10"

"The handicap room had a wheelchair-accessible shower, but no bathtub. The hallway had an odor and needed to be aired out.2021-07-07"
"The accommodations were more than adequate; in addition to the kitchen, there was plenty of counter space for computers and other equipment. I was able to use my sewing machine and was even able to line up my materials. I loved all the appliances I could borrow for the room; even games were available. Don't count on stocking your kitchen from the cupboard. We stopped at a grocery store before arriving at the hotel.2017-03-21"
"Great rates. The hotel was clean, and the room had a good bed, nice cabinetry and appliances, and a bathtub. The employees were friendly and helpful with directions. The Iron Abbey restaurant was 10 minutes away, and a favorite of ours. Philadelphia was about a 40-minute drive away.2016-02-25"

"No hand soap in the bathroom, and not enough towels provided. The check-in clerk was about to end his shift and thought he was a standup comedian. I checked with the hotel clerk, and after a long delay in getting the items, I went back to the front desk and finally got soap and towels. The TV didn't work, so I was moved to another room. No daily housekeeping; I requested fresh towels and trash removal, but the housekeeper left the used towels on the floor. The pool wasn't open, a disappointment. I was disappointed.2024-02-12"

"The bed was comfortable, but a double is small for 2 people. OK gym, though not great. Had free coffee in the morning, and free parking. Legends was disorganized and understaffed. If you stay at this hotel, be aware that there may be some confusion about what "free breakfast" means.2015-04-24"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
