"The room was clean and updated. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was clean. We enjoyed free coffee and cookies in the lobby. The motel staff was wonderful and professional. The pool was closed. Nice restaurant and bar,; unfortunately, the lone waitress was unable to keep up with crowds, so service was slow. The power went out one night. 2022-10-03"

"The WiFi in our motel room didn't work well, and we had a great view of the dumpsters. The pool water was ice-cold, and the whirlpool had police tape around it. There was only one chair on the porch, and the seat was cracked. Ash from a cigarette put out on the porch stained my socks. Good housekeepers and breakfast.2019-11-30"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
