"Good hotel overall, but the room rate seemed high. The room was clean and efficient. The bathroom light went off on its own at strange times, including when I was taking a shower. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was good. The soda vending machine took my money and didn't give me the product I'd selected. I recommend staying here.2022-09-09"

"Not a good value. I could hear street noise at night, and one of the windows was broken. There were holes in the wall. No phone book. Someone called about my son smoking in the car, and the front desk clerk told him he had to go inside because he was creepy. Don't stay at this motel.2016-04-30"
"This motel beat paying for a high-priced downtown hotel. The room was clean and quiet, with good amenities. A $20 cab ride to the heart of the city, and you can't even park downtown for that.2015-08-04"

"I enjoyed my stay. I was at first daunted by having to make the bed, but then realized I could just wrap up like a burrito in the fluffy duvet. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the room was so clean that I walked around barefoot. Don't let the locked gate of the garage discourage you; it's one of many safety features I appreciated.2023-02-19"
"Walk to restaurants, stores, and the University of Washington. About a 30-minute commute to downtown. The room was clean and well-maintained. It was simple yet had a hip vibe. My room was near the elevator, but noise wasn't an issue at all. Friendly, helpful staff. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.2017-10-31"

"The hotel was comfortable and clean, and the staff was welcoming. Parking was a hassle. You need a room key to get past the gate at the bottom of the entry ramp to the underground parking area. The garage ceiling was low, and it was hard to maneuver even with a normal-sized car. There was a sign about it being a high-voltage area, and I could feel my pacemaker acting up.2023-02-03"

"A fantastic hotel, but valet parking was expensive.2018-06-04"

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.
