The security man did come up with a plunger and confirmed that the toilet needed repair, so we had to change rooms in the middle of the night. This will be my last stay here.2018-10-06"

"Perfect location and rates. I liked this hotel very much.2021-12-06"
"Good location. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the furniture was newer. But the AC was loud and cycled on and off every 7 minutes. The TV remote control wasn't working. No cups or utensils provided; it was difficult to drink coffee without a cup. Only some of the lights worked. The doors closed loudly. The water pressure in the shower was a trickle, and the toilet didn't flush well and made a horrible screeching sound. This hotel was not worth the price.2017-04-14"
"This hotel wasn't up to my standards. There were bugs on the counter in my room, and the room wasn't serviced. The lobby and community room looked shabby and worn, and the front desk clerks weren't helpful with information about grocery stores or restaurants. Stay away.2017-04-10"

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.
