"Room had a strong smell of air freshener, though it wasn't unpleasant. We could hear the drive-through at the restaurant across the parking lot. Motel staff was friendly. Good breakfast.2015-03-17"
"Coffee service area in the room wasn't clean. Bathroom was dirty; there was hair in the bathtub and on the ceiling, and used towels still in the room. Men talked on their phones outside our room until late at night. No hand soap at the sink for the breakfast attendant to use. Find another place to stay.2015-01-24"

"The beds weren't that comfortable, and the fridge didn't work well. No security on the premises. No restaurants nearly. This hotel is just a place to sleep.2021-09-13"
"Great location for downtown and pier touring. This is a beautiful, vintage hotel. The room was clean, though the furniture was showing some wear. The staff was accommodating. Expensive, but worth it for the location and ambiance. If you book the package with breakfast included, the amount allotted won't cover breakfast at Marchand's. Also, if you request an ocean view, ask for a room on the 6th or 7th floor so your view isn't blocked by trees on the hotel grounds.2021-03-01"

"Close to everything; right by I-75 and minutes from the beach. The hotel was exceptionally clean and had a wonderful staff. The only downside was that the beds were doubles instead of queens. Lots of healthy and hot selections at breakfast. Great place to stay.2016-01-01"

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.
