"The room was half-renovated. The TV didn't work, and the staff couldn't fix it. The elevators were noisy and needed to be replaced. The employees were nice. No on-site breakfast, just a voucher for a restaurant in the neighborhood. Don't stay at this hotel.2017-08-13"

"The hotel was dated and nasty. The lobby looked nice, but it was all downhill from there. The only positive was the friendly staff. We took the shuttle downtown, and called to be picked up at 9:45. At 11:15, we gave up and called a taxi. Find somewhere else to stay.2015-06-16"
"We enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, clean, and had everything we needed, and the bed was soft. We loved it. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping everything clean. The staff was pleasant and friendly. If you want a special place to stay, choose this hotel.2020-10-06"

"Affordable hotel. Our room had a leaking toilet that flooded the floor a bit, so we had to change rooms. We went out, and the room was infested with ants by the time we returned. They were everywhere, even in the bed and fridge. We had to change rooms again, but the new room also had ants. We were finally moved to an ant-free room, but it smelled musty. By this time, it was 5 AM. We weren't charged for our stay, and the manager was apologetic, but I wouldn't stay again.2016-01-04"

"The hotel room was small, and there was nowhere to put our luggage. There was a desk, but with all the coffee gear there, there was no space for working. The desk chair was so close to the bed that I couldn't pull it out. There was a small fridge. The room was always too warm or too cold, and the heater was loud. Breakfast was good. We wouldn't stay here again.2020-01-22"

"The hotel room looked clean and in good condition, but the sofa bed mattress pad and cover were dirty. When I looked in the closet for linens, I found a basket with dirty sanitary napkins in it. When we asked for someone to change the bedding, we were given a key to another room and told to take the linens from there and put them on the sofa bed. The pool and pool area were absolutely filthy; the water was so dirty, I could barely see the bottom of the pool. Don't stay here.2022-03-31"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

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.
