"The mattress sagged on one side. The sink was clogged, and the toilet leaked. There were no maintenance workers available to fix the plumbing issues. The hotel didn't offer any compensation.2020-08-06"

"A perfect hotel if you're flying from the Sacramento Airport. The only negative was the noise level.2020-02-04"
"A clean and pleasant hotel with friendly personnel. Good place to stay.2017-04-28"
"Nice hotel. Check-in was smooth. The people in the room above ours were noisy when they arrived at midnight. The restaurant food and service weren't good at all, so eat somewhere else.2016-11-23"
"I was disappointed; the hotel seemed like it was stuck in the 1980s. The hallway on my floor hadn't been vacuumed. The electrical coils on the stove were twisted and improperly placed. The coffee machine was old and cheap. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The TV in the lobby was always on, which was annoying, especially since I'd hoped to have a peaceful breakfast. 2022-10-23"
"The people in the room above mine were noisy all night, so I didn't sleep well. If you stay at this hotel, get a room on the top floor.2015-09-05"
"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Upscale decor and very comfortable beds with nice pillows. The room had a stove and full-sized refrigerator. Try it; you'll be pleasantly surprised.2015-09-02"
"The hotel was full of kids' baseball teams, and the noise from children running in the hallways kept me awake until after 11 PM.2021-11-15"
"Good location. The hotel lobby and staff were great, but the room was subpar. The desk chair was broken, and the other chair was at least 10 years old.2021-07-15"
"A terrible experience. Other guests were loud and out of control late at night, including yelling and throwing furniture around. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-04-25"
"The hotel room was clean, but check-in wasn't that clear. I had to make 4 calls to request confirmation for an early check-in.2022-04-18"
"People in the next room smoked marijuana; the hotel clerk asked us what we expected him to do. He ended up barging in our room while we were in bed and started spraying the curtains with something to try to mask the smell. Then he handed us a bottle of apple juice. Don't stay here.2021-07-28"
"The view over the courtyard was lovely, but I could hear everything going on at the pool. The hotel staff was incredibly friendly. The entire experience was absolutely relaxing.2017-09-05"

"Our stay was lovely. The motel was clean, and all the employees we encountered were nice and helpful. Loved that they helped people getting cancer treatment. We'll definitely come back and highly recommend it.2016-11-04"
"Convenient to restaurants. One of our rooms smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that we asked for a room change. The other was barely tolerable due to the smell, but I'd already unpacked and didn't want to move. The shower plumbing sounded like a jackhammer. The motel clerks were friendly and more than willing to accommodate our needs.2016-06-13"
"I didn't get adjoining rooms as requested. In fact, one room was on the 7th floor and the other was on the 15th floor. The coffee pot in my hotel room didn't work. The clerk was rude when I called to check on my reservation, and I waited on the phone for 15 minutes to talk to a manager.2018-12-17"

"We arrived at the hotel at night, and there were a lot of people milling around and sitting in cars in the parking lot; it was a bit unnerving, though the parking lot was well-lit. The hallway lighting was dim, and the room was just OK. Someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night. No breakfast. Stay somewhere else.2021-05-13"

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.
