"The hotel was expensive, especially considering that it didn't have a pool. The bar area was too busy; I couldn't get served and had to leave to get some food. The breakfast food was cold even at 6:30 AM, but the coffee was OK.2022-05-11"

"Great location to access Bexley. I really liked the hotel suite layout and decor. I was at the end of a hallway, and it was quiet during the week I stayed. The kitchen was completely adequate for preparing meals. Housekeeping was inconsistent; the bedroom and bathroom were always spotless, but the wood floor in the kitchen never got mopped. They provided too much soap, but I didn't get replacement salt, pepper, tea, and scratch pads, even after leaving a note.2016-01-17"

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.
