"Everything was great, and the room was clean. I recommend this hotel.2018-02-13"
"Right on the highway, so the traffic noise was deafening; at the pool and inner patio, the noise drowned out conversation. The hotel was spotless, and housekeeping was stellar. My room was large and well-appointed, but the pillows were puffs of nothingness. The employees were professional and helpful, though I wish they'd been more knowledgeable about area restaurants. The breakfast area was large and terrific, but the food left something to be desired.2017-09-21"

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.
