"The hotel room was basic, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast wasn't good; the hot items were cold, and the pastries and bread were stale.2021-09-27"

"The hotel was dirty, and there were no towels. We went to the front desk to request some, but the clerk was watching a screen. I thanked the employee who handed me towels, and didn't get a response. There was hair on the bedsheet, and also on the bathroom counter. The floors were dirty, and the room smelled like mildew. The luggage cart was sticky. Don't stay here.2021-07-17"
"Decent hotel, but nothing to write home about other than the low rates. The whole place looked kind of run-down, and the beds were too firm. The quality of the toiletries was poor. On a positive note, I enjoyed 4 days of blissful quiet and privacy. There only seemed to be 3 employees, but they were especially nice. They re-set the router because the Internet connection was slow, and opened the vending machine when it didn't work. Breakfast wasn't worth the effort. No elevator.2016-10-29"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
