The carpet had rough edges that were a tripping hazard, and the lock on the room door was upside-down. The front desk clerk didn't speak English well, making communication stressful. Find a different hotel.2023-03-22"

"The hotel room needed updating, and the carpet needed to be replaced.2020-07-31"
"Not a 5-star hotel, but it was a pretty good value. Close to restaurants, shops, and theme parks. Because of the Covid-19 outbreak, staffing was minimal and there was no sit-down breakfast.

"Great location near a lot of stores and restaurants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Stadium. Economical. Clean room, but the furniture was old.

OK for a short stay, but I wouldn't bring my family here.2015-12-29"

"I had a terrible stay at this hotel. There was no blanket or comforter on the bed, and the blanket in the closet was too small. The staff did provide a 2nd blanket the next day. The heater didn't adequately warm the room, and the WiFi kept disconnecting. No in-room coffee. The hallway doors were propped open, letting in cigarette smoke, and there were ducks wandering around the grounds leaving waste. Don't stay here.2020-02-14"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

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.
