"A very nice hotel, but the elevator was slow.2015-08-14"
"The hotel didn't have anyone to help with luggage. No hot water for showers. Our room was never serviced during our stay, and we never got fresh towels or extra toilet paper. We made the bed each day ourselves. Not happy that we didn't get a room with a view. The staff was nice.2023-10-11"

"An excellent facility. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we woke up refreshed. The shower needed no-slip mats, but that was the only issue. The hotel staff was so genuinely friendly and helpful; I've never been treated so well. Great place to stay.2023-10-04"
"The hotel was new, shiny, and bright. Construction was no impediment to having a good stay. The room was large, and the Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch. The TV remote control didn't work; a staff member got everything else working. The fitted bedsheet was too small. It took a long time for the shower water to get hot. The shower water ran onto the floor. The staff bent over backwards to be helpful and pleasant. The $12 breakfast buffet was overpriced. Stay somewhere else.2022-08-28"

The hallway reeked of marijuana. The front desk clerk was always outside smoking. Breakfast was old apples and stale bagels. Don't stay here.2023-10-17"

"I had a pleasant stay at this hotel.2019-06-05"
"The hotel wasn't within walking distance of Lovelace Heart Hospital as I'd hoped. The check-in clerk was hard to understand because she talked with her head down. When we got to our room, it hadn't been cleaned, so we had to go back down and ask for another room. It was fine and pretty clean with the exception of the mildew on the shower curtain. I mentioned it and got a discount. I had to go to the front desk a few times to get service in the bar area. The food was OK. Breakfast was decent, and the people who worked the omelet bar were the friendliest people at the hotel.2017-09-03"
"A cool throwback hotel; loved the retro look. It was busy and understaffed, but the employees were friendly. The room wasn't ready when we arrived at 6 PM, so we had to return 2 hours later. Covid restrictions have taken a toll on the property.2021-08-13"

"The neighborhood didn't seem safe. My reservation was for 3 nights, but I didn't even stay 1 night. I walked about 20 minutes from the motel to the convention center through a construction zone that was like zombie-land. Don't stay here.2017-03-30"

The other one was nice. 2019-10-05"
"Nice hotel and employees. The room was quiet. I wish the shuttle hours had been posted.2017-11-24"
"The motel room was too small for the price, and the bathroom was even smaller. No bath mat.2022-10-13"

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.
