"The desk lamps and phone didn't work, and the toilet ran. A hotel clerk said she doesn't get paid enough to listen to complaints. Don't stay here.2022-05-04"
"I had a pleasant stay. The hotel clerks were personable and answered all our questions.2021-10-19"

"The hotel was a bit tricky to find and access due to its proximity to on and off ramps of the interstate. We got a room on the opposite side of the highway as requested, and it was quiet, comfortable, and well-appointed. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Small exercise room with minimal equipment. Excellent complimentary breakfast, and the manager's reception on Tuesday and Thursday was a nice touch. Not far from the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans, but at least an hour from the airport. The only restaurant within walking distance was a sushi place.2016-02-08"
"This was probably the quietest motel we've ever stayed in. The room was clean and met our needs, and the bed was comfortable. Good place if you just need a good night's sleep.2017-01-23"
"Just a 30-minute drive to New Orleans. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The employees were really nice. We had so much fun in the pool. Good parking. We'd definitely stay at this hotel again.2018-10-01"
"The hotel room was large, clean, and nicely furnished. However, breakfast was miserable, the weekend clerks needed training, and the in-room safe didn't work. I had to take my laptop and camera with me everywhere. The elevators were slow. Ask for a 1st floor room.2016-11-08"
I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
