"Nice, clean hotel. Great airport shuttle hours; we arrived late, but they still accommodated us. The only negative was that we were told one thing about breakfast, but signs said something different. The attendant started packing up early, so many of us had to rush to get some food.2018-08-31"

"Everything went well. Good hotel, but there was work underway and the sound of a drill in the next room made it impossible to sleep. We complained and were moved to another room. The staff was attentive.2020-01-25"

"Beautiful room and surroundings. Eat at the hotel for convenience.2017-09-03"
"Great location. We were told we'd been upgraded to an "ocean view" room, but we actually had a view of parked boats. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the gift shop prices were amazing. Good experience.2017-08-10"

"Close to the beach and many restaurants. We loved staying at this hotel and recommend it, especially if you're going on a cruise the next day. The room was clean, the staff was pleasant, and the pool area was great.2018-04-02"
"Convenient to the cruise terminal. Nice beach and beach access. A very basic hotel. The door handle on the sliding door to the balcony was broken. It took 4 calls and a trip to the front desk to get the cot we'd requested. Housekeeping didn't bring any blankets for the bed; we finally got some a few hours later, but no sheets were included. Great front desk service and nice pool, but meals were expensive. No extras included.2015-12-21"
"Great location. The room was clean, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Fantastic outdoor bar area with an affable and engaging bartender. The parking fee of $36 was too high, though.2018-06-03"

"A low-quality hotel. Stay somewhere else.2020-11-02"
"Close to the port. The hotel was extremely old and dilapidated. Renovations were underway, but the temporary check-in area was in total disarray and surrounding rooms were filled with junk. We had to wait outside in the pool area, which was under construction. Decent room, but there was a dead bug in the bathtub. Find another place to stay.2015-09-30"

"An awesome hotel. You'll enjoy your stay.2018-01-05"

"I requested a riverside room and was given an ocean view room; when I pointed out the error, it was corrected, but it took extra time out of my stay. The check-in clerk said the sauna and steam room were open 24 hours a day, but that wasn't correct. Try another hotel with a better set-up and atmosphere.2022-11-01"
"My oceanfront hotel room was worth the price, but I didn't like having to pay for parking.2019-11-09"

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.
