"Great location to access Bexley. I really liked the hotel suite layout and decor. I was at the end of a hallway, and it was quiet during the week I stayed. The kitchen was completely adequate for preparing meals. Housekeeping was inconsistent; the bedroom and bathroom were always spotless, but the wood floor in the kitchen never got mopped. They provided too much soap, but I didn't get replacement salt, pepper, tea, and scratch pads, even after leaving a note.2016-01-17"
"The hotel was fairly comfortable, but I could hear plumbing noise from other rooms. The toilet in our room flushed on its own during the night. The exhaust fan was loud and rattled.

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.
