"Check-in was great. The hotel clerk had a super attitude and engaged with us. We were totally satisfied with our stay.2019-05-09"
"Clean hotel with friendly personnel. One night the 3rd floor hallway smelled like gas; I told the front desk clerk, but she didn't seem as concerned as I was. There was a film on the pool water the 1st night, so we didn't swim. It was gone the next day, but there were hundreds of tiny ants around the pool and whirlpool. Breakfast was disappointing.2017-03-23"

"Nice room and good breakfast, but the hotel clerk had no clue if the room had a bath or shower. I requested a room with a bathtub, but mine instead had a beautiful walk-in shower.2017-11-30"
"The hotel had dated decor and furniture. We arrived before check-in time, and the clerk told us to come back in an hour. We asked for a room upgrade, and her reply was, "You get what you paid for." The garbage truck woke us up at 1:30 AM when the dumpster was emptied. We liked that breakfast started at 4 AM, but there was no syrup in the container, and the creamer dispenser didn't work.2018-07-29"

"Motel looked nice when we pulled up. But instead of a peephole, there was just a hole in the room door. Front desk clerk said no other rooms were available, and gave us a small discount. I felt a bit unsafe.2015-02-19"
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.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
