"The hotel was just OK. Some lightbulbs were burned out, the alarm clock didn't work, and there was no stopper for the bathtub.2024-01-24"
"Good experience. This hotel is a great place to stay.2019-05-22"
"The hotel room was OK, but the shower had poor water pressure and barely any hot water. Kids woke me up slamming doors and running in the hallways early in the morning. We called the front desk, but they didn't come resolve the problem as promised.2019-04-05"
"The hotel was clean. We called ahead to see if we could check in early; the clerk said we could, but when we arrived, we were told the room had been given to someone else and we'd have to wait until 3 PM to check in. When we returned at 3, the room still wasn't ready. The key card barely worked. We called for a can opener but were on hold so long we gave up. Luckily, a housekeeper on our floor had one. Nice pool, but the lounge chairs were broken. I'll stay elsewhere next time.2019-06-05"
"The hotel entrance was easy to miss. The room carpet needed to be cleaned, but I had a comfortable stay other than that. The employees were friendly. Good breakfast.2015-09-16"

"We received prompt service when we arrived at the hotel, but were told our carpet was wet from being cleaned earlier in the day. The room smelled so bad that we almost left, but we were tired and turned on the AC. It looked clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. There was a fast-food ketchup container by the coffee. The staff was friendly.2021-06-28"
"I wasn't comfortable with the people hanging around outside the hotel, and someone kept trying to open our room door at night. A scary experience.2016-08-11"
"The bedding was damp, so we removed it and asked the hotel staff to dry it.2015-09-08"

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.
