"The hotel and room smelled bad. The bedding was stained, and there was a ring in the toilet bowl. There were bugs crawling out of the sink, and we found a roach on the table. We got a bit of a discount when we complained at checkout, but we wouldn't stay here again and don't recommend it.2017-10-18"
"I had a pleasant, non-eventful visit. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We could hear the guests next door until after midnight. Be aware that the hotel fills up quickly when there are events at the university.2015-10-27"

"Handy location. This was an older hotel that showed some wear, but it suited our needs. I struggled with the AC and fridge. I did like the layout of my king room, and we were comfortable. Limited toiletries provided. The coffee could've been better. 2015-10-14"
"Good location and rates. Enjoyed the pool and whirlpool, but mistakenly left our bathing suits behind when we left the hotel. We returned and the hotel clerk wouldn't look for our suits and told us to return the next day, but by then we'd left town. Our suits were found and mailed to us at our expense; wish the staff had looked for them while we were at the hotel to retrieve them.2015-06-15"

"Clean room with comfortable beds and a selection of pillows. The hotel staff was polite.2017-05-02"
"The carpet had hair and fingernail clippings in it. The bathroom floor needed cleaning. Everything else at the hotel was OK. We were comped for the night, so I'd go back.2016-03-06"
"Considering the price, I was not impressed with this hotel. The room was small, the sink and mirror was tiny, and the TV picture was awful. The front desk clerk was unable to fix the TV, but a maintenance worker took care of it the next day. A party in the room next door kept us up late one night.2016-10-18"

"Nice hotel. It's a good place to stay.2018-01-15"
"I was frustrated that the volume on the TV was set too low to comfortably hear. We were moved to a handicap room since the TV volume went higher, but the TV was farther from the bed so it was still hard to hear. One of the heaters only put out warm to cool air, so we had to rely on just one heater. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again.2016-11-27"

"I was disappointed with my stay at this motel. When we asked for fresh towels, we only got 1 hand towel that was a little dirty; we were told we'd be charged because the dirt wouldn't come out in the wash. Be aware that a deposit is charged. Stay away.2021-09-26"

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.
