"The hallways and elevators had debris from repair work. The door in my room didn't work properly, and neither did the sink. The chairs were stained. The elevator was slow. There were cockroaches near the breakfast area and around the restaurant attached to the hotel. Spare yourself and stay somewhere else. 2024-01-20"
"The hotel room was average, and breakfast was mostly waffles. No milk the 1st morning, so I couldn't even have cereal. Just coffee, water, and watered-down orange juice to drink. The restaurant was good for dinner, though.2023-03-05"
"Our hotel stay was the best. We had to change rooms due to a plumbing issue, but the room was great. We liked the wall division that allowed for some privacy for the kids and adults. The kids had a bunk bed, and the adults used the sofa bed. The wall-mounted TV was awesome. There were restaurants within walking distance.2022-09-09"

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.
