"Nice view, but the hotel lobby smelled like cat litter.2019-01-16"
"No TV channel guide in the hotel room or at the front desk. Check-in was easy, and everything was in order. No mention, though, of an extra $5 county fee. I was impressed with the full, cooked-to-order breakfast.2023-01-04"

"When we arrived, my wife went to a trash can in the lobby to throw out 2 cups. The motel clerk rudely told her she had to go outside to throw them away in a garbage can across the driveway by the pool. I told him this was rude, and he said it was "motel rules". If we didn't already have a reservation, we wouldn't have stayed.2015-09-24"

"Motel only has 2 smoking rooms, and I didn't get one. Also didn't get requested 1st floor room. Room wasn't that clean. Found out after my shower that no towels had been provided; I had to use the bedsheets to dry off. Don't recommend.2015-02-09"
"The hotel clerks were attentive, but the room smelled like mildew. During the hurricane, water seeped through the floor boards, and the shower didn't have a grab bar or soap dish. No generator, which is important for people traveling with oxygen.2022-10-03"

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.
