"This hotel was hidden behind a Holiday Inn Express and wasn't the easiest place to find, but it was economical. My room was close to I-81, so I heard a lot of traffic noise. The AC was loud. The room had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and hair dryer, but the decor and layout were outdated. The room safe didn't work well; it took several calls and several employees to get it open.

"Easy to find, and the mall was almost next door. The hotel was older but clean. Great selection of soft and firm pillows, and I liked having a table and 2 chairs. I couldn't get the TV to work, but an employee came and fixed it; the plug in the back of the TV was loose. There was a book in the room about the history of the area, which I thought was very nice. The sink was outside the bathroom. I was charged $1.50 for an in-room safe I didn't use. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Loved the 24-hour coffee in the lobby.2015-10-03"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
