"I've never been so disappointed with a hotel stay. The room was small, dark, and not that nice. Our room wasn't serviced, so the next day we were moved to another room.

"Conveniently located and fairly priced. The hotel was older, but the room had laminate flooring. The only chair was the desk chair. The bed was comfortable enough, but it squeaked when I moved. I wish the hallways and stairs weren't carpeted. A dog had done its business outside the side door; I told the hotel clerk, but it was never cleaned up. Because of Covid, breakfast was grab and go; we were disappointed with the offerings.2021-01-03"

"Walk to Premiere Outlets. Dated motel. Bring everything you need since there are few amenities in the room; no paper and pen, and the only toiletry provided was shampoo. There was an old spill on the nightstand, but the bed looked clean. The exterior door was hard to lock, and the door to the interior hallway was hard to open and close. Easy check-in and checkout. Not much selection at the continental breakfast.2015-04-04"

I found the hotel descriptions at HotelGuides honest, whether they recommended a hotel or did not.
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.
