"Not a 5-star hotel. The room smelled musty, and there was a dead bug in the freezer. The kitchen wasn't that clean. On a positive note, there was plenty of hot water for showers, pets were allowed, and the customer service was good.2018-05-24"
"The hotel wasn't easy to spot at night. The room was clean. We woke up to fire alarms at 8 AM and had to rush outside. Never got a clear explanation from the staff about it.

"The hotel was clean enough and updating was underway. The clerk was friendly and helpful, but the room was run-down. No cots available.

"Excellent location if you're visiting Palo Duro Canyon. Our room was nice and spacious, and the employees were all friendly and eager to help.

"The hotel was a bit difficult to find, but it was worth the effort. It was clean and cozy, but a bit small. The staff gave us a room near an exit door to accommodate our service dog.

The dining area was small, but the tables were well-spaced.2022-05-26"

"Easy to access from I-40. The hotel was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly. I didn't like the $25 security deposit. The room only had one chair, so one person had to sit on the bed. Good room heater, but the bathroom was cold. The shower door didn't close well, so water drained onto the floor. The squeeze bottles of soap are a problem for people with arthritis. Good breakfast.2021-01-15"

"The hotel smelled bad. My room wasn't clean, and there were what looked like blood stains on the floor. The staff wasn't at all helpful; they acted inconvenienced whenever I asked anything, and stood in the back talking and laughing while I waited to check in and check out. I was disappointed to find that breakfast ended at 8:30 AM. I'll never stay here again.2018-12-11"
"Quiet and close to the freeway. The room was OK, but the fridge, microwave, and coffee pot were all plugged into one surge protector. The fridge didn't work until I unplugged the microwave.

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.
