"Good value. This was the most well-maintained motel we've ever stayed in. The room was simple but clean, and the paint and caulk were professionally done. The bathroom was small, but everything worked. Good service and OK breakfast. There was parking for a large truck or trailer. If you don't need a lot of amenities, this is the place to stay.2023-12-04"
"A nice, efficient motel. It was a little tricky finding the road up to the place, Bells Lane.2023-08-22"
"Convenient location, but the motel was showing its age. It was fine if you're traveling with a pet and need to get some sleep. The sink was in the main room, and the bathroom was small.2023-06-08"

"The hotel room was clean and fine, but the bathroom was small. The TV didn't have the channel that broadcast the UUVA or SU basketball games. Good breakfast with many choices.2022-01-03"
"Located right off the parkway, with plenty of food options nearby. There were dead bugs in the stairway, and a bug on the ceiling of our room. No cots available. The hotel clerk was coughing and wasn't wearing a mask. The evening clerk was really nice. Good breakfast with hot and cold selections, and the attendant was pleasant.2021-11-25"

"We had a short stay, but everything was perfect. We'll definitely return to this hotel.2017-11-26"
"The room was minimalist and spartan, and I heard a lot of noise. I didn't like the thick duvet bed cover, and there was debris on the bed platform. The tile floor was sticky, and I didn't like the toiletry dispensers. Nice hotel clerks. Not my kind of place, but younger people might find it appealing.2023-08-26"

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.
