"The hotel and room were construction despite construction. The pool was closed Sunday morning, and the coffee ran out before breakfast ended at 10 AM.2017-07-18"
"The housekeeper didn't change the bedsheets each day. The ice bucket was never emptied, and I only got a new bag for it one day of the six days I stayed. Other than that, my stay was good. The staff was really friendly. Go out for breakfast.2016-05-16"

"My motel room was clean but nondescript. No carpeting. The mattress was OK, and I liked having 3 pillows. I could hear street noise; garden view rooms would probably be quieter. The water pressure in the sink was terrible, and the shower water pressure wasn't great. Not all rooms have both a fridge and microwave. Average grounds. 2022-02-01"

"Close to the airport, and a shuttle was available. The hotel was clean and looked like it had been recently updated. The room was clean and adequate, and the AC worked well. The ceiling fan helped move the air, too. The fridge kept our drinks cold. Pleasant front desk clerks. The breakfast had hot food, fresh fruit, and great coffee.

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.
