"The hotel staff was friendly, and the landscaping was nice. However, the room was shabby and smelled like dog. Harsh overhead lighting and no lamps. The mattress was lumpy, and I could feel the springs. The flooring was chipped and was dirty. The sink was cracked and too high to wash my face. No breakfast, and no garbage cans outside to throw away dog waste. I won't stay here again.2022-11-15"

"Lovely area and building, and it was nice having kitchen facilities in the room. No cookware or silverware provided, though, and there was no coffee maker or coffee in the lobby. The decor was minimal, and there was no nightstand. I'd rather pay a little more and stay at a better hotel.2018-03-29"
"This motel was a good choice. I was inexpensive, and the bed and shower were clean.2018-10-28"
"The TV didn't work in our king room, so we were given a room with a full-sized bed. We were too tired to go back and deal with the matter. The front desk clerk wasn't customer-oriented. I don't recommend this motel.2015-04-16"
"The best thing I can say is that the toilet flushed and there was hot water. Things went downhill from there. It's a typical run-down, interstate motel. The one bright spot was the 5-star check-in clerk.2015-03-23"
"A no-frills, acceptable place to stay. Room was clean.2015-01-18"

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.
