"There was no warning that the parking lot would be a nightmare of forklifts and tents to prepare for the upcoming Gem Show. The noise from the backup beeping when on from morning to night. The hotel staff was overwhelmed, and bar and food service were unavailable. Don't stay here around the time of the Gem and Mineral Show unless you're part of the show.2023-01-24"
"Great stay from start to finish. The hotel room was immaculate, and the lobby and breakfast nook were clean and well-stocked. The 6th floor had a nice church and mountain view. The front desk clerks were friendly and professional. Parking was easy and free by using your room key, though it took a little getting used to using the key for the elevator. The address was Stone Ave., but the drive up was on Ochoa at the north end of the building.2023-01-30"

"Not a good value. The hotel was a dump. The room was extremely run-down, and the heating and cooling unit didn't work. We were moved to another room, but the carpet was damaged, the window coverings were dirty and in need of repair, and the blackout curtains were held together with a bobby pin.

"Located at the far west edge of the city. Plan to drive to stores, restaurants, and services. Quality resort with nice desert landscaping. Room wasn't what I expected; had a microwave and fridge with dishes for two, but no kitchen. We heard lots of wildlife outside, including coyotes and a rattlesnake just outside the front door. On-site restaurant was expensive, and meals couldn't be billed to the room.2015-02-17"
"Easy to navigate the 2 miles to Banner UMC. Lots of take-out restaurants nearby. The room was spotless, and the bed was comfortable. Our 2nd night, we stayed in a room with a patio, which we enjoyed. The hotel clerks were so warm. Pretty grounds and pool, and orange trees abundant with fruit. Beautiful lobby bar, and they still had those great chocolate chip cookies. The restaurant was closed because of Covid.2021-03-11"
"Not a pleasant experience. The wallpaper in our room was peeling. The bathroom was old and had rust and mold everywhere. The sink leaked and didn't drain well, and the stopper kept coming out.

The ice machine on our floor didn't work.2017-08-23"

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.
