"The hallways were dirty. We didn't even want to go down for breakfast. The only thing good about our stay was the bed. Pick another place to stay.2021-08-13"

"Great motel not far from Des Moines. Check-in was extremely fast and efficient.2018-06-18"
"Excellent rates. Clean motel and room, but the exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work. The staff was cordial. Ample breakfast in a nice eating area. The parking lot was well-lit and felt secure. We liked that the property was set back a bit. We'd definitely stay here again.2017-09-06"
"The hotel was convenient to I-80, and there was a restaurant and bar across the parking lot. The room wasn't carpeted, but it was spacious and adequate. The employees were professional. Good green area for pets. No breakfast because of Covid. Expect a decent place to stay.2020-07-19"
"The hotel felt outdated. The carpeting by the ice machine was saturated with water.2020-07-05"
"The hotel was OK but nothing special. The clothes rack was next to the TV, so if you hang up your clothes, it blocks your view of the TV. No hot water the 1st night. No full-length mirror; the desk was in front of the mirror, so it was hard to put on makeup.2019-06-20"
"Cheap hotel. Room was nice and clean. Employees were friendly. Loved the breakfast. Worth a stay.2015-03-18"
I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
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.
