"The hotel and room were construction despite construction. The pool was closed Sunday morning, and the coffee ran out before breakfast ended at 10 AM.2017-07-18"
"The housekeeper didn't change the bedsheets each day. The ice bucket was never emptied, and I only got a new bag for it one day of the six days I stayed. Other than that, my stay was good. The staff was really friendly. Go out for breakfast.2016-05-16"
"Great hotel staff. I'd stay here again.2015-11-25"
"My motel room was clean but nondescript. No carpeting. The mattress was OK, and I liked having 3 pillows. I could hear street noise; garden view rooms would probably be quieter. The water pressure in the sink was terrible, and the shower water pressure wasn't great. Not all rooms have both a fridge and microwave. Average grounds. 2022-02-01"

"We arrived at 7:30 PM and were told we'd been given a room upgrade, but the hotel clerk gave us a room number for a non-existent room. When we did get to the room, it was so nice and spacious; we loved it. We did find a bug in the bathroom.2019-07-18"

"The hotel was clean and quiet, and the room was spacious. If you're looking for a restful stay away from the busy side of the beach, this place is perfect.2017-08-29"
"The hotel interior could've used some work, and the furniture looked old. I liked that we were able to print our boarding passes in the lobby. If you're looking for a great view of the beach, this is the place. But it's not within walking distance if you have children.2016-02-02"

"A very pleasant hotel stay. I enjoyed the accommodations, and the staff was exceptional. The pool was too warm, but that's the only complaint I had. I look forward to returning.2015-09-09"
"The carpet in the room and hallway was in bad shape, and the desk chair was in poor condition. The fridge froze everything. There were ants in the bathroom sink; I had to call maintenance twice about it. No hot water in the morning, and the bathtub drained slowly. While my wife was using the pool, the pool person came out and ran a loud gas machine. The breakfast attendant wasn't that polite. The checkout clerk wouldn't look us in the eye, but did comp one night. The evening clerk was polite. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-10-27"

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.
