"Hotel was clean but a little dated. Looked like renovations were underway. We had to walk down a number of hallways to get to our room. Room was large. Great bath towels. Continental breakfast was unimpressive. 2015-01-24"
"I knew I'd made a bad decision as soon as I arrived at this hotel. The parking lot was dark and uninviting, especially for a woman traveling alone. The front desk clerk was surly and treated me as if I interrupted her cell phone call to do something trivial. There was a group of men in the lobby, and one said something inappropriate to me. The room reeked of smoke, even though it's supposedly a smoke-free property. It was musty, and the bathroom was disgusting. Breakfast was inedible. Don't stay here.2017-04-29"

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.
