"Our room keys wouldn't work. We finally got in the room to find that it smelled like smoke and the window didn't open. Got a new room, and our keys didn't work for that room either. The safe didn't work. The shower water was scalding at first. Both the front desk clerks were rude. The continental breakfast was good. Don't recommend this hotel.2015-09-28"

"Easy to access from the interstate. The motel didn't look inviting, but it was just what we expected and worked for our needs. We arrived early, and the clerk found us a room immediately. He also gave us excellent directions and restaurants suggestions. The room was basic, but the bed was comfortable and the fridge worked well. No coffee maker or tissue. We felt safe. The staff was helpful. We left our door ajar once while we were in the room, and the manager knocked just to see if we were in. Breakfast was toast, bagels, and cereal. We were pleased.2015-09-25"

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.
