"The hotel was nice, but the water tasted terrible. The in-room coffee maker was too complicated to bother with. The elevators seemed confused about whether to go up or down while we were in them. Finding the entrance from the street was a challenge.2022-03-12"
"This was the worst hotel experience ever. We weren't able to check in until 4:30 PM, and then found our 2 rooms smelled bad and had no AC. We waited 45 minutes for the problem to be fixed, and by that time were soaked with sweat. The AC was only fixed in one of our rooms. The front desk clerk was rude, and though we'd asked for a room over the pool with a view of the fireworks, we were given rooms far from the pool. The vending machines were out of order. I don't recommend staying here.2022-07-06"

There was a desk and a dining table for two, and laundry facilities were available. Check-in and checkout were a breeze, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. This hotel is worth a stay.2019-05-04"

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.
