"Don't expect a 5-star hotel, but the room was nice and had been recently renovated. The building was old, and renovations will help a lot. Good experience overall.2017-10-29"

No balcony in my room as I expected, and no soap was provided. The side of the desk was damaged. The check-in clerk mumbled terribly. The fire alarm went off for a few seconds in the late afternoon. Find another place to stay.2017-10-27"
"The hotel had been remodeled and looked great. A pair of men's shoes were outside my door, and a man showed up at 10:30 PM with a key to my room. I called room service repeatedly before finally the front desk clerk took my order. The self-parking near construction was a hassle.2017-05-21"
"One mile from TIAA Stadium. The room was spacious, but the view was limited. The sleeper sofa was OK. No problem checking in. Breakfast cost $12.95 per person. Parking was off-site and cost $10 per night. This hotel met our needs.2021-01-03"

"Convenient to the St. Johns Mall. The interior needed maintenance and fresh paint. The carpeting was worn and dirty, and the shower was falling apart; the knob fell off while I was showering. Housekeeping service was late. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and plenty of parking.2019-06-11"

"My husband was on crutches, and the hotel clerk said we should let her know if the room wasn't convenient and we could change rooms. Parking cost $6. Breakfast was just coffee, snack bars, and a packet of oatmeal guests could microwave in their rooms.2019-09-18"
"The hotel didn't have the amenities that similarly priced hotels have. The floor and bathroom weren't clean, and the building needed maintenance and upgrading. Look elsewhere.2019-04-21"

"My experience at this hotel was horrible. There were no blankets on the bed, and the front desk clerk couldn't get any for us. We had trouble with the key card and kept needing assistance. Never got clean towels and couldn't even get a cart for our luggage. The front desk clerk wasn't helpful and acted like I was bothering him.2022-04-02"

"The hotel looked nice, but the shower didn't work. The bathtub did, but we weren't able to shower. When I told the checkout clerk, he just said "sorry." I asked for a cup of ice for my tea, and he said they didn't have any ice.2019-10-12"

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.
