"Close to the cruise terminal, but the hotel was old, dilapidated, and seemed overpriced. The bathroom was dark, the sink drain cover was missing, and the sink was coming off the wall. The ceiling vents were loose. No counter space, and the handicap bench in the shower was damaged. Only one of the elevators worked. There were a lot of negatives about this place; I wouldn't stay here again.2019-04-01"

"A safe hotel near the Long Beach terminal. The room was small and looked somewhat run-down.2023-03-04"
"OK hotel. It was very clean but had other issues. We had to have our key cards re-set repeatedly. Nothing at the front desk went quickly. The housekeeper forgot to leave fresh towels the 2nd day. We called the clerk and asked for 4 towels, but were told nothing could be done until morning. I insisted, but ended up having to pick them up from the front desk myself, and there were only 3. No AC in the hallways or elevator, though it was hot and humid out.2016-07-01"
"My key card had to be re-set almost every day, but the hotel staff was courteous and friendly. I'd stay here again.2015-11-21"
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.
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.
