"Not a good value. I received a gruff reception from the attendant when I arrived. The condo was dirty, and it was a trudge to reach it. Not enough toilet paper provided, and there was no housekeeping service. The parking garage was poorly designed, so I had to park while trying to avoid being hit by speeding cars in the opposite direction.2019-04-30"
"The hotel was falling apart. I had to call the front desk daily to keep the AC running. There was only one chair in the room, and no lamp on the desk. The elevator operation was spotty. People hung out in the parking lot playing loud music until 3 AM. I left a day early. Stay away from this place.2021-04-27"

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.
