"The TV was damaged, and we were initially blamed. We moved to another room. The front piece of the AC fell off when we turned it on. The fridge didn't work and leaked water on the floor. There were cigarette burns on everything. Don't stay at this motel.2021-09-26"
"This was my most horrible motel experience ever. The staff was rude, especially management. Don't waste your money; stay somewhere else.2018-06-08"

"Everything about this hotel was excellent, and everything I needed was nearby.2023-04-03"
"A bare-bones hotel room with no closet and poor lighting. The ironing board hung from a wall, and the mattress was too soft. Never got my requested wake-up call. Don't stay here.2023-02-28"
"Sketchy neighborhood, but the hotel was quiet and the beds were comfortable. There were 3 connected hotels and a lot of homeless people nearby.2021-07-01"
"Everything went well and breakfast was good, but there were about 10 roaches in the bathroom. Don't stay at this hotel.2016-04-16"
"The interior was better than the exterior. Nice room, but my experience was frustrating. The key card didn't work, so I returned to the front desk to have it reset. When I went back to the room, I found it was already occupied. The hotel clerk acted like the mistake was mine, then wrote the mistaken room number on my key again. At that point I asked for a room on a different floor.2015-10-24"
"The shuttle driver made all the difference; she was outstanding in every way. She helped me check in and even took my bags up to my room. She took me back to the airport in the morning. The hotel room was clean.2021-05-18"

"The hotel was clean and easy to access from the freeway. Close to the Blue Line train to downtown. The AC worked well. The TV remote control wasn't synced to the channel guide. Nice towels. Breakfast items weren't replenished when they ran low. There was a Bojangles in front of the hotel. Good place to stay, but I didn't appreciate people playing loud music in the parking lot after 10 PM.2023-11-18"
"Nice hotel; everything was clean. Stay here.2023-10-17"
"The hotel wasn't well-managed. Stay somewhere else.2023-08-13"
"The hotel was easy to find. Our room was by the interstate, and we heard trucks all night long. The bed was tiny and only had one pillow, and the bathroom light wouldn't turn on unless the light in the main room was on. Not bad for an overnight stay, but I wouldn't stay for any length of time.2017-05-08"
"Cheap but nasty. My hotel room wasn't serviced for 7 days, and broken items weren't fixed. The staff needed more training.2016-06-07"

"The motel was a little better than average, but the WiFi was terrible.2018-07-09"
"The motel room was hot when I arrived, and it took a few hours to cool off after I turned off the AC. There was a slight smell of mildew. The curtains didn't fully close, so light came in the window. No alarm clock. There seemed to be a lot of paperwork at checkout, and I didn't like that my ID was copied. Consider other options.2018-06-28"
"Poor value. The motel room was tiny and dirty. The amenities were slim to none, and the appliances didn't work. The employees were rude and unaccommodating. I don't recommend staying here.2016-03-29"
"Convenient to Carowinds, and there was a mall across the street. Plenty of restaurants nearby, too. The hotel and room were clean, and the room was large and had a sofa. The continental breakfast was adequate, and the dining area was large. I had a pleasant stay.2019-08-06"

"The hotel wasn't clean. The mattress was OK, but the headboard was dirty. Good water pressure in the shower, but the paint job in the bathroom was poor. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work, and the smell of smoke came in through the exhaust. The wallpaper in the bathroom odd the lobby was peeling. There was trash and food spills in the elevators and hallways. The only ice machine was on the ground floor. Only decaf coffee was available. Don't stay here.2022-04-03"
"The 1st room had peeling paint, and the bathroom was dirty and had black mold. No hair dryer in the 2nd room, and no shower caps were available. Stay at another hotel.2016-11-29"

"The hotel was under construction. The bed was comfortable, but that was the only positive. The TV listed 114 stations but only got 64, and the remote control didn't work. Breakfast was paltry at best. Not a good stay.2017-02-15"

"The motel was clean, and the service was outstanding. The manager made sure guests were accommodated. I was impressed.2017-04-14"
"Good, clean motel. It was reasonably attractive and comfortable, and far enough from Route 74 to be quiet. The bathtub area had been poorly repaired and needed a re-do, but the shower worked fine. Decent value.2016-04-05"

"The hotel atmosphere was nice, and I loved the late checkout. The bed was comfortable, but the blanket was stained, so I removed it. The AC made a rattling noise, and the toiletries were sparse. Bring ear plugs to block out highway noise. Limited variety of food at breakfast.2018-05-09"

"There was no one at the front desk when we arrived. We waited, called out, and finally called the hotel, but no one answered. We finally encountered an employee who was taking care of laundry. The toilet was backed up in the morning, and someone came up with a plunger. The hotel quality was unacceptable at any price. Don't stay here.2020-03-03"

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.
