"The bed was heavenly, and there were plenty of electrical outlets. There was a bar and bistro. I was greeted nicely by the hotel clerks. My grandson asked about the pool, and the clerk took us to see it and explained about the salt water and towels. It was a delight to stay here.2019-07-03"

"Across the street from Jazzy's, a great BBQ restaurant. Room was clean. Staff had a hard time keeping up with the demand for coffee. Stay and enjoy this hotel.2015-03-02"
"Check-in was OK, but there was some confusion about a security deposit. The hotel room was freezing, and we found a baby gecko in the bathroom. I saw 2 roaches in there at night, one on the vanity counter approaching my toothbrush. It was unnerving to say the least.2022-11-10"

"The WiFi in our motel room didn't work well, and we had a great view of the dumpsters. The pool water was ice-cold, and the whirlpool had police tape around it. There was only one chair on the porch, and the seat was cracked. Ash from a cigarette put out on the porch stained my socks. Good housekeepers and breakfast.2019-11-30"

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.
