"I had a horrible motel stay. The room was clean, but the electricity went out at midnight, and I wasn't able to get in my room until 2:30. It was freezing, and the check-in clerk didn't offer extra blankets. The power still wasn't on when we checked out in the morning.2021-02-16"
"The motel was fine, but the bedsheets had some dirt-like particles.2019-07-25"

"The computer hub didn't work. There was old food in the hallway throughout our stay. The front desk was often unmanned, and breakfast was pretty much non-existent. Parking cost an extra $20. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-02-26"
"We booked 2 hotel rooms. The AC in one room made noise, and the front desk offered our ear plugs. They were moved to another room, but there was a problem with the key cards. They were finally moved to a 3rd room at 5 AM.2018-09-06"
"The hotel was so clean, and the food was great. The only negative was that the front desk clerks weren't very welcoming or attentive. No information in the room about checkout times, room service, or other hotel features. We enjoyed the pool. Book it.2021-09-20"
"The beds were small. There was hair on the toilet and in the sink, and the garbage can hadn't been emptied. The valet parking wasn't good; the valet ignored me for 3 minutes while he was using his phone; we had to pay $45 plus tax, then park our car ourselves. Run away from this motel. 2023-05-03"

"Great place to stay, especially if you need to be near Austin Heart Hospital. There was a Denny's restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. The room was clean, and the bedding was excellent. No room servicing after 3 days, though, and the trash cans were overflowing. Super-nice front desk clerks.2021-02-04"

"I requested a room away from the noisy elevator and ice machine, and got a room right across from the elevator and near the ice machine. I had to call and request a different room. On the plus side, I left my clothes in the closet and the hotel clerk mailed them all to me. No complimentary breakfast despite the high room rates. Parking cost $26 a night.2016-08-11"

"We could walk to everything we needed, including a beautiful trail. The service was exceptional, and all the employees were so friendly. The hotel had the best complimentary breakfast I've ever had, and The Crepe restaurant downstairs was excellent. This place is a gem.2016-10-11"

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.
