"The hotel was a little run-down, but there was a sign saying remodeling would begin soon. Our bed had 3 small pillows, and I had to ask for more. When I got them, they didn't have pillowcases on them; we got 1 pillowcase and one zipped pillow protector. We had a coffee pot, but only got 1 packet of regular coffee and 1 packet of decaf. Don't stay here.2022-04-26"

"The hotel room was always either too hot or too cold. The microwave smelled bad and needed cleaning. The bathroom pipes were noisy when other guests showered. On a positive note, the bed was made daily with fresh linens, and we got fresh towels every day. If you're looking for a safe area and average comfort, this is a good choice.2017-06-22"

"Minutes from a shopping center, movie theaters, and Midwest One Ampitheatre. The hotel was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. Delicious breakfast with made-to-order omelets. It wasn't free, but it was well worth the price.2015-06-04"
"The floor of my hotel room needed vacuuming, and there were hairs in the hand towels. No bath towels provided; I had to go to the front desk to get some. Spend more money and stay somewhere better.2019-04-29"

"The room was run-down, and wasn't the room type I reserved. The hotel clerk said nothing else was available, and the manager wasn't on duty. I was given a $10 discount. The blackout curtain was shredded, so I woke to strips of sunlight hitting me right in the face. The elevator was overdue for an inspection, and the doors opened while the elevator was still moving. Don't stay here.2015-07-02"

"There was a very large group of noisy college students at the motel, and we had to ask them several times to quiet down. The staff said police had been called. The motel itself was clean and OK, but we didn't get any sleep until the kids checked out. The rest of our stay was fine.2015-08-08"
"Clean, quiet motel. Not a thing to complain about. Good value, too.2015-06-27"
"This was the dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed in. The 3rd floor hallway had a terrible odor, and the carpet in our room was sticky. We heard loud music from the parking lot from 2:30 AM - 3:30 AM, and the manager was too busy playing on his computer to do anything about it. We left after one night. Don't stay here.2022-09-09"
"Good hotel with great employees. Close to restaurants. A positive experience.2017-07-04"
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.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
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.
