"When I entered the motel, it smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. There were no shower towels available. The plumbing pipes creaked, and the AC was in bad shape and set to 52 degrees. The TV remote control was sticky, and the batteries were barely held in place. There was a taped crack in the window. There was a large hole in the curtain, and the ceiling sprinkler was falling out. I found an old cigarette and plastic wrappers in the room, and the towel rack fell off the wall. Don't stay here.2020-10-08"

"The 1st room smelled like smoke, and the AC wasn't working. The key card reader in the 2nd room didn't work. No stopper for the bathtub, and the body wash dispenser was empty. The elevator appeared to be on its last legs. Needed better cleaning and maintenance, but the hotel was overall serviceable.2023-03-10"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
