"A low-class hotel. It wasn't clean and desperately needed repairs. 2023-11-13"
"Our stay at this hotel was poor. Our room only had a twin bed. There was an overhead light, but no desk lamp. The TV wouldn't come on; we were told to unplug the cable box. There were no washcloths and only half a roll of toilet paper, and the hotel clerk said we'd have to go upstairs to get more. The bathtub didn't drain well. 2018-05-21"

"No smoke alarm in the room. There was old food in the fridge. The bathroom was dirty, there were holes in the walls, and the tiles were falling off.

"The hotel was easy to access and close to restaurants and a Starbucks. Good place for the price, and pets were allowed. The soundproofing wasn't the best. I felt comfortable walking my dog alone at 10:30 PM in the grassy area around the property.2018-08-28"

"The room smelled strongly of disinfectant; we turned on the AC and went out, and it was better when we returned. The bathroom door couldn't be fully opened because it hit the toilet, so it was hard for 2 people to get ready in the morning. I found 2 small millipedes on the tile floor. The hotel clerk was courteous and helpful. No breakfast due to Covid. Not a bad place to stay if you don't mind some compromises.2020-07-06"

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.
