"Convenient to Ped Mall and downtown; easy walk anywhere. The hotel staff and maintenance worker were helpful when we had an issue with the key. The flexible checkout allowed us to enjoy our final day in the city. The hotel could be noisy on weekend nights, so if you want solitude, this isn't the place for you. 2017-10-12"

"The hotel was near the arena but a bit difficult to find; it looked like a storefront, but the back door emptied into the arena complex. Each studio had a kitchen, but not a lot of privacy in the bathroom area. The room was nice and clean, and the beds were comfortable. Great electronics. Not really family-oriented. The check-in desk wasn't well-marked. We enjoyed our stay.2023-02-17"

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.
