"Reasonably priced, but the hotel was dated and understaffed. The front desk clerks never answered the phone when I called, and they didn't communicate with each other about items I had delivered. I waited 2 hours for the shuttle to pick me up from the airport. The drivers were accommodating but needed better instructions.2018-08-16"

"A quaint hotel with nice, friendly personnel. Easy to access.2016-02-29"
"The hotel lobby can get noisy at concert and show times, so make sure your room is far enough away. Had a shuttle to and from the BB&T Center, which was a huge bonus. On the down side, the microwave in my room didn't work.2016-01-21"
"The hotel wasn't clean, and the room had a terrible odor. The carpet was dirty, and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. The beds and pillows didn't have protective coverings, and the linens were uncomfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. There were ants in the pool area, so it wasn't relaxing. Limited seating at breakfast. Don't recommend.2015-04-23"
"The hotel was nice, the price was right, and the customer service was good.2020-08-26"
"The motel smelled like marijuana. There was no phone in the room, and the cable TV went off every 5 minutes. I lost power all night, and there was no one at the front desk. When my husband later told a clerk he planned to complaint, the reply was, "Go ahead." Don't stay here.2019-08-09"

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.
