"Reasonable rates. The room was spotless and comfortable. It had an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, and comfortable beds with extra pillows. The shower was the best. The staff was courteous and helpful and treated me like royalty. Wonderful breakfast. You'll enjoy your stay.2017-07-28"
"The hotel was undergoing renovation work from 7 AM - 5 PM. Had we known, we wouldn't have stayed here. My wife was injured when a chair broke; the staff did nothing to make the situation better, and the broken chair was back in the same spot the next day.2016-06-27"

"The room was dirty, but we had to go to a wedding and ddn't have time to deal with it. When we returned, the hallway smelled horrible, and so did the room. There was trash on the floor, the walls were dirty, and there was hair in the bathtub. Everything was stained and dirty. My son couldn't stand the smell, so we decided to just drive home. The front desk clerk was rude when we checked out. Find another hotel.2017-10-31"
"The handicap toilet was too low, and there was only one grab bar mounted vertically on the left side; it was inconvenient for a right-handed person. The shower chair was bulky and hard to handle, and water leaked out and made the floor slippery. The lobby floor was slippery due to the rain. Breakfast was provided off-site, which was difficult for a person with ambulatory issues, and it added extra time. Don't stay at this hotel if you're handicapped.2017-08-24"
"Our room was quiet even though we were next to the airport and Highway 70, and the heating system was silent.

"We were able to check in early, which we appreciated. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were able to enjoy a full breakfast before being shuttled to the airport, and we were able to leave our car parked at the hotel during our trip. We'll definitely stay here again.2022-09-30"

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.
