"My smoke-free hotel room smelled so strongly of smoke that it made me ill. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The back door was broken, and the key card didn't work. The employees were nice, but that was the only positive. Don't stay here.2023-11-28"
"The hotel was old and needed updating, but my room and bathroom were clean. Easy check-in and checkout. Breakfast was OK; at least it was free. I'd stay here again.2023-08-29"
"Kids were running in the hallway all night. No on-site dining on the weekend, and the Bistro even charged for coffee in the morning. Consider other hotels.2022-02-23"
"The hotel was clean and beautifully decorated. The lobby bar was a nice place to sit and relax, and the outside fire pit was pleasant. GIve yourself some time to enjoy the amenities.2019-10-18"
"Great hotel room, but the pool and pool area were too cold.2019-03-20"
"I was disappointed that the motel didn't have an elevator. We had to take metal steps to the 2nd floor and enter through an exterior door. The hallway smelled musty. Our room key didn't work half the time. The TV cable was hanging out the wall, and the phone had no labels, so we couldn't call the front desk. There was no evacuation information posted on the door. I don't recommend staying here.2021-07-19"
"The hotel room wasn't the cleanest. My key card didn't work, and the remote control wouldn't turn on the TV; it had to be turned on via a switch in back. No breakfast because of Covid. Drive on.2021-03-09"
"The motel needed upgrading. The stair railing wasn't secure; my friend fell, and my husband almost did, too. The coffee was cold at 6 AM. We'll never stay here again, and neither should you.2019-04-19"
"The toilet in the 1st room didn't flush, so we were moved to another room. The TV didn't work, though the staff was able to fix it. Try another hotel.2016-11-14"

"Easy access to the highway, hiking, and tourist locations. The motel needed some updating, and it had exterior stairs and no elevator.

There was an on-site restaurant, but no other restaurants nearby.2019-10-20"

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.
