"An older hotel. The AC in the 1st room was so loud that we couldn't sleep, so we got a room that was quieter after a 45-minute wait; some workers helped us lug our suitcases up 5 stairs to the room. The view from the window was of trash, debris, and dirty equipment. 2021-11-10"
"Great experience, but we left a pillow and pajamas behind and housekeeping never turned them in. The front desk clerks were wonderful.2020-03-07"
"When we arrived at the hotel, we were told we'd been upgraded, but the there was nowhere to sit and the room had major plumbing problems. When we tried to request a plumber, the clerk told us to get in line and stop being rude or she'd call security. We'll never stay here again and don't recommend it.2020-01-23"

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.
