"There was a Mexican restaurant right next to the hotel, and there were other restaurants nearby.2019-09-21"
"Easy to access. The motel was clean and comfortable. Nice staff, and they were willing to help in any way they could. There were several flies in our room, and they loaned us a fly swatter. The only negative was that the breakfast nook was too small and crowded. However, there was a nice selection of food.2015-07-21"
"Good rates. The fitted sheets wouldn't stay on the bed, and the towels were thin. The pillows were uncomfortable. The TV remote control didn't work well, and we had to hunt for the channels we usually watch. The credit card receipt I was asked to sign clearly stated Do Not Sign This, but the clerk said I should. No pets allowed. Consider other options.2022-06-11"
"I got a quiet motel room as requested. Good experience overall.2019-06-18"

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly. The bag breakfast wasn't great, but understandable because of Covid.2020-12-16"
"The hotel room was dirty. There was what looked like blood splatter on one of the bedsheets, and there was black mold in the shower. It was a shame because the front desk clerks couldn't have been better; they were so pleasant and helpful. If the room had been in better condition, I'd definitely recommend staying here.2018-12-01"
"An OK experience. The hotel clerk was a bit impersonal, and we had trouble understanding him because of his accent. Ask for a room away from the parking lot.2023-03-26"

"There was construction around the property, so not much parking was available; guests were able to use the parking lot at the Super 8 next door. Nice room, and construction noise wasn't a problem. Breakfast was OK, but the selection was limited. Good place to stay.2022-05-26"

"The hotel was reasonably priced for the area. It needed some work, but was overall a good place. The room was nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Some of the chairs in the pool area had mold on them. I didn't like the salted butter at breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.2019-09-09"

"The check-in clerk provided good service, but the toilet in my room wasn't flushed, and it didn't flush well. I put my food in the fridge only to find in the morning that it didn't work. There was what looked like a patio table in the middle of the bedroom. The WiFi was terrible. Spend a little more and stay at a better hotel.2020-04-25"
"The motel wasn't beautiful, but it was a clean place to sleep and shower. The room smelled like dirty socks. Be aware that it's a pet friendly facility, so you'll likely hear barking dogs.2019-07-29"

"The room was fine, but the hotel clerk was rude and spent much of her time outside smoking. I actually had to go get her to check out. The entire common area of the hotel was dirty, and the pool was filthy. The hallways and stairways needed vacuuming. Don't stay here.2020-08-17"

"The hotel room wasn't in good condition, and the pool area was in need of maintenance. The concrete was chipped, and the walkway needed upgrading. Nice check-in clerk, but the morning clerk was unfriendly and unresponsive when we tried to talk to him. Terrible breakfast; the sausage was rubbery, and the eggs were cold.2015-07-25"
"The motel was located in a quiet area. The beds were comfortable.2017-02-25"
"I had a small dog, so we were put in a pet room. Although it had a laminate floor, it smelled of cat urine. Don't get a pet room at this motel.2016-07-03"
"Great location, and the price was right. The room was flawlessly cleaned each day while we were out. The staff added to our stay with their smiles, assistance with the WiFi, and welcoming manner. We enjoyed the continental breakfast. The only negative was that the pool wasn't the cleanest. Other than that, our hotel stay was perfect.2015-07-19"

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.
