"Average hotel stay. The front desk clerks didn't seem to care about guests, and the cab service to the port and back was terrible. It was late taking us to our cruise ship, and we waited over an hour for it to pick us up when we returned to port.2015-07-24"

"The hotel was close to JAXPORT, but it was located in a bad area. There was no one at the front desk when we arrived, but eventually the clerk appeared and checked us in without enthusiasm. The hotel looked new, but the room wasn't nice and didn't look like online photos.2015-08-20"
"This hotel was absolutely awful. Our room door was open when we arrived. There were cigarette burns in the comforter, and a grocery bag over the light fixture above the bed.

"The hotel room was small and didn't have much furniture. Not enough towels provided, and the front desk never sent more up as promised. The bathroom door was warped and didn't close. The showerhead was stuck on a single pulsing stream. No sink stopper, and no grab bars in the shower. There are better options for the price.2017-12-17"

"The room was clean. Great motel clerk and easy check-in. Breakfast was good. Book it.2018-12-29"
"I had a horrible stay at this motel. The 1st room had stained carpeting, dirty bedsheets, and a dirty bathroom. We were given another room, but there were blood stains on the bed. The doorknob fell off the door. We were moved to a 3rd room, but the doorknob fell off the door of that room as well. The toilet wouldn't flush, and the staff said there was no plunger so I'd have to use the lobby restroom until morning. I asked for a refund and stayed somewhere else. Don't stay here.2018-10-13"
"My room was nasty and smelled bad. The motel clerks were extremely rude and disrespectful. Don't stay here.2018-06-24"

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.
