"My hotel stay was fine, including the unexpected upgrade to a king suite. One of the TV remote controls didn't work, the bathroom door didn't close properly, and there was no tissue. Fortunately, the 2nd remote control worked for both TVs.2018-06-04"
"There were restaurants nearby, and a gas station and convenience store next door. This was an exceptionally clean hotel. Our room was comfortable and sanitary, and the pillows were wonderful. The front desk clerks greeted us every time they saw us, and smiled as they worked. The hot breakfast had everything we needed. We'll stay again.2016-06-21"

"The hotel room was nice, clean, and quiet, and the TV worked. The AC was a bit loud. The walk-in shower had a short shower curtain, so water splashed onto the floor and out the door. I was given extra towels when I told the front desk clerk. There were some loud dogs when I was there. Good continental breakfast.2022-08-03"
"The hotel room was ready earlier than expected, but I found leftover food in the fridge. Had to have the key card reactivated 3 or more times. Not enough towels provided, so we had to ask for more.2015-07-14"
"Comfortable bed with the best pillows I've encountered in a long time. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast items were somewhat limited. I'd stay again.2015-06-23"
"The hotel and room were sparkling clean and well-maintained. Even the carpet in the hallway was clean. My entire room was odor-free, and all the furnishings and fixtures looked new. Even the bathroom was spotless, though the floor felt a bit sticky. This will definitely be my 1st choice when I return to Michigan City.2017-01-05"
"Great hotel, but I had to have the front desk clerk come to the room to show me how to operate the shower. It had a hidden pull-out at the end of the spout that I never would have figured out on my own.2020-09-16"

"Great location and rates. The room was clean but the bedding wasn't, and the mattress needed to be replaced. Friendly staff. The swimming pool and breakfast were fine. We enjoyed our stay.2015-09-24"
"The motel was OK. There were some stains on the bedding, and the room smelled musty. The shampoo container was already open and half gone, and there was only one bar of soap. Not much hot water in the morning. Not worth the price.2021-09-08"
"The motel was conveniently located and pets were allowed. Most of the employees were friendly, but one night clerk wasn't.2018-10-11"
"An OK motel. No coffee maker in the room, though.2018-06-19"
"Close to the casino, restaurants, and the outlet mall. Low-cost, no-thrill hotel. The room was clean and cool. The bed wasn't comfortable, but the linens were clean. Nice shower with plenty of hot water. The toilet didn't flush well, and there was rust in the sink. No AC in the hallway. Pleasant staff. We didn't see an elevator, and the stair carpet had a pattern that makes you dizzy if you stare at it. Continental breakfast was mediocre.2015-09-07"
"Great hotel; we want to come back with our kids.2016-02-16"
"Basic hotel. The carpet was dirty and had a big stain, and the light by the bed was unplugged. There was a hole in the wall from the bathroom door lock. The towel bar next to the sink was loose. Breakfast was the best part of my stay.2015-09-08"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
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.
