"Located in an industrial park, so there was nothing within walking distance. This was a comfortable hotel with wonderful amenities, like free food and coffee in the lobby. The lobby itself was bright and airy. The room was spacious, immaculate, and very modern. The pool and whirlpool were inviting. Breakfast was made to order.2015-04-14"

"The hotel was close to the highway, shops, restaurants, and the Air Force Academy. The AC in my room worked well and was quiet. I liked the ceiling fan, too. The carpet in the room and hallway was stained. There was a hole in the bedsheets, the pillows were lumpy, and the towels felt like sandpaper. The sink was stained; I asked for it to be cleaned, but it didn't happen. The elevator was dirty, and the snack machine was mostly empty. I appreciated the 20% discount at Denny's.2015-09-09"

"The rates were low. I had to navigate 3 police cars at the hotel entrance when I arrived. Looked clean, but the room and bed smelled like body odor. The bedsheets were scratchy, and the slippery bedspread kept falling off the bed. Slow Internet connection. The kitchenette wasn't stocked, so I had to ask for every little thing I needed. No toilet paper or trash can in the bathroom, so I had to ask for those, too. I didn't feel safe and didn't enjoy my stay.2017-04-08"
"The hotel was fairly comfortable and clean, though I saw a few spiders and ants. Ask for a room on the top floor and away from exit doors so you don't have to listen to people walking around and going in and out all the time. Good experience.2015-08-30"
"Nice hotel. I received a friendly greeting when I arrived.2024-01-27"
"Traffic noise from I-25 was noticeable on the east side of the hotel, but it didn't keep us awake. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small, but it was functional.

"Decent motel room. The staff was friendly, but there were strange people lurking outside, and there seemed to be people sleeping in the hallways. The roof was leaking in various places, and there were buckets catching the water. Don't recommend.2015-05-31"
"It was raining when we arrived at the motel, and there were 5-gallon buckets in the hallway catching water. The nightstand in my non-smoking room had cigarette burns. No elevator, and the stairway railing was broken; a large, exposed screw was pointing upwards. At least the coffee at breakfast was good. Keep looking.2015-05-21"
"This is a cheap, low-end hotel. The blanket had holes. Look for another option.2017-08-12"

"We're seniors and the motel had no elevator, but we were given a room on the 2nd floor. A nice housekeeper saw us struggling with our luggage and offered to help. The lamp shades weren't held in place and fell off if we accidentally bumped them. No on/off switches on the bedside lights, and no ashtrays in our smoking room. The only true bright spots were the kind housekeeper and evening clerk. Don't stay here.2020-09-04"
"Great hotel with friendly personnel. Try the IHOP in the parking lot.2020-06-16"
"The room and bathroom lighting were poor, and I couldn't operate the barn door for the bathroom; it was too heavy and had a sharp handle. The window shades were also difficult to use. We could smell food outside our room. Stay at another hotel.2019-10-27"

"There was no staff at the hotel from 6-10 PM. The lights in my room came on automatically 3 times between 1:15-3 AM until I could figure out how to get them to stay off. I used the phone in the lobby to check out, but it was just a recording with no helpful information. I slid my keys under the desk window and left. Don't stay here.2021-12-19"
"Clean, comfortable room. The staff was friendly and helpful; they went out of their way to help my wife while I was having surgery. Great lobby and bar. Breakfast was good. Plan on a nice experience.2022-05-13"
"Good downtown location near many restaurants and attractions. The well-equipped lobby was on the 2nd floor, with secured guest access to other floors. The room was clean and had nice bedding and towels. The pool and exercise room were good options. Nice breakfast for a reasonable price. One issue was that I wasn't able to get a taxi to pick me up at the airport at 1 AM.2021-08-02"
"The hotel was right downtown, so I was able to walk to restaurants and shops. The room was a bit dated but nice, clean, and good-sized. Excellent front desk clerks. Beautiful lounge area, but the wine list wasn't that good. Breakfast was fine and the service was good. Ask for a room with a view.2017-09-12"

"The motel had bedbugs. The staff was rude. I left early. Don't stay here.2020-08-15"

"My stay was short and comfortable. The hotel clerks were helpful, understanding, and resourceful. Limited staffing, though, so expect some limitations of service.2021-10-05"
"The room smelled like urine. The hotel clerk gave us another room, but it wasn't well-cleaned, and we didn't have enough towels. The coffee maker was the wrong model for the coffee inserts; I told the clerk, and all he said was, "Thank you." There was trash in the hallway for 12 hours. The pool was closed. Breakfast was a joke; the food ran out by 7 AM. Don't stay here.2021-06-10"
"Good location and excellent personnel. You can stay at this hotel with confidence.2021-01-13"

"I thought the hotel rates were too high for the time of year. Don't stay in a room near the noisy pool area.2017-02-10"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
