"The hotel room was great; it was clean and smelled good, and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, there were kids running and jumping in the room above ours until 3 AM, so our sleep was not great.2015-10-27"

"I was impressed by the blackout curtains in the room, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a night light, hair dryer, and toiletries. The hotel clerk was pleasant and so helpful. We couldn't find the light switches, and she came to help us. My granddaughters used bathroom towels for the pool, and the clerk got us replacement towels. A-1 continental breakfast. Get ready for a wonderful stay.2017-04-17"
"Nice hotel with clean rooms. I stayed on a weekday, and it was quiet. I had to change rooms because the sliding glass door wouldn't close tightly and lock. Nice staff and swimming pool. The restaurant and lounge were convenient. 2015-11-06"

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.
