"The hotel was fabulous. The room was clean and comfortable, and we were warmly welcomed.2015-05-21"
"You get what you pay for. The hotel was simple and fairly clean, and the lobby was inviting. Average room, but it was quiet. The desk chair was broken and tilted when I sat in it. The carpet needed to be replaced, and we found someone's shoes under the bed. Housekeeping only made one bed the 2nd day. Carb-heavy breakfast. There was only one, slow elevator. Go with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.2017-11-19"
"Excellent value. The hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Nice staff.2017-01-09"

The employees were accommodating; we had a minor issue with the toilet, and a maintenance man came immediately to fix it. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.2016-10-28"

"My motel room was OK, but looked like something out of the 1960s. It really needed renovation.2022-01-09"
"The room was old and in bad condition. The mattresses were old and lumpy, and the bathroom was so filthy that we couldn't take showers. We spoke to the motel clerk, and she said it was the kind of room you get if you bring a dog. I can't express what a horrible place this was.2022-01-04"

"Nice hotel, but the buffet food wasn't good. Eat elsewhere.2018-05-02"

"The hotel room was clean, well-furnished, and nicely appointed. The bed was comfortable. The only drawback was that there was no lever on the bathtub faucet to engage the shower. Cordial, professional employees. Try it, you'll like it.2016-09-06"

"Close to Longwood Gardens. The hotel was comfortable. Be sure to enjoy the made-to-order breakfast.2017-10-17"
"Close to Longwood Gardens and Winterthur. Great bed; I slept well. The staff was professional, charming, and helpful. I had to attend an important meeting and no taxis were available, so the hotel manager volunteered to drive me to the event. Good breakfast. Stay here.2017-01-17"
"A beautiful and reasonably priced hotel. The room was clean, the employees were friendly, and the food was excellent. I definitely recommend staying here.2016-05-19"
"Nice hotel. Our junior suite was roomy and clean, and the front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. The only problem we experienced was that the elevator was out of order. The staff was apologetic, and offered to have our bags carried upstairs for us. Good breakfast.2015-08-18"
"We were disappointed that our handicap room didn't include a roll-in shower. The check-in clerk tried hard to find a room that would work for us, and I appreciated her effort. The fire alarm went off, and because of my handicap, I wasn't able to go up or down the stairs. Luckily, it was a false alarm.2015-04-15"
"The hotel was run-down and not worth the price. The toilet overflowed at night, and the front desk clerk was nowhere to be found. When we did reach him, he said he'd contact us after talking to maintenance. We never heard back, so we asked for a plunger and cleaned up the mess ourselves. The manager never returned my call, and the staff overall was indifferent. Don't stay here.2019-08-24"
"A horrific experience. The hotel was in poor condition. There was no hot water, and the bathtub didn't drain. We didn't stay and don't recommend it.2019-05-09"
"We heard unexpected train track noise in our hotel room. Poor customer service at the front desk. The only great service was from the housekeepers. The food wasn't that good.2019-03-16"
"The hotel staff was wonderfully friendly and accommodating.2019-01-07"
"Not a good hotel. There was a hole in the room window that was covered with packing tape. The toilet was broken. The front desk was often unmanned, and there was no security. Don't stay here.2019-10-12"
"The room wasn't ready at 4 PM. The hotel lobby could've been cleaner. The mattress seemed new and comfortable, but the pillows were awful. The continental breakfast was just a few muffins and coffee.2019-05-15"
"Excellent accommodations. The room and common areas were clean and well-kept, and the rates were reasonable. The hotel clerk didn't seem to know what he was doing, and check-in took nearly 15 minutes. The checkout clerk seemed baffled when I asked for a receipt.2019-04-10"
"The room was clean, but the beds were terribly hard and uncomfortable, and there was a loud tapping sound in the bathroom all night. The hotel staff was nice.2018-06-04"
"I was happy with my stay. The hotel was close to the hospital. The room was nice and clean, and the employees were pleasant. Good breakfast. The only downside was that the elevator was broken.2018-05-11"

"I had a great time at this hotel, though I didn't get my requested wake-up call.2015-05-27"
"Not a luxury hotel. The lobby still reeked of old, stale smoke. The bedsheets were pilled. No daily housekeeping, and we weren't told ahead of time, so we returned to an unmade bed and no fresh towels. We only got one tiny bar of soap for our 3-night stay. We requested clean towels, but the dirty ones weren't removed. The "hot" breakfast was a joke. Don't stay here.2021-06-07"
"This is a superior hotel. The room was huge, and I was able to park in the convenient lot underneath for $20. Nice bar, too.2017-02-10"
"Hotel was nice and clean. Employees were friendly and helpful. They guided me to restaurants within walking distance, and offered a discount card for participating eateries. No on-site parking lot; there was an attached parking garage around the back, and another half a block away. I'd definitely stay again.2015-03-23"

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.
