"Close to IKEA. The hotel was nice and clean. A housekeeper got on the elevator with a large bag and pushed the button before we were able to exit; we had to use our hands to stop the doors from closing. Great breakfast. Good place to stay.2018-05-02"

"Easy to find. Excellent hotel in a nice area. Some kids made noise in the hallway late at night, but when I told the checkout clerk, she comped my room. Good restaurants within walking distance, and there were 2 gas stations nearby.2016-05-09"
"The toilet in our room wouldn't flush, and it took 2 calls and 45 minutes to get someone to come fix it. We arrived at the hotel only to find out the restaurant couldn't start our dinner for a half hour, so we ended up going elsewhere to eat. The elevator was slow and sounded like it was about to come apart.2019-05-30"
"We weren't given the room type we reserved, but the hotel staff asked us if we wanted to change rooms the next day. The restaurant and bar service was terrible.2018-10-24"

"The carpet in the hallway was stained, and the carpet in our room was damp. I waited 25 minutes to check in. The eating area was too small. Consider other hotels.2018-05-14"
"The room badly needed an upgrade. It had a chemical smell, and the carpet and furnishings were old and worn. The TV leaned to one side. Train noise ruined any chance of sleeping through the night. The motel clerk was professional. Don't stay here.2015-10-30"
"OK motel and staff. The room needed better soundproofing; I could hear conversations in the next room, and the traffic noise was horrible. Stay somewhere else.2015-10-27"

"The hotel room was nice and clean, but there was no easy chair. Check-in was difficult.2023-01-26"
"The hotel charged a $100 deposit. The building was cheaply constructed; I heard banging doors and heavy footsteps late into the night and early in the morning. My room was just a room and a bathroom, not a suite. The bed blanket was scratchy. 2022-03-13"
"OK hotel other than the noisy people above my room. Overall, my stay was fine.2015-04-21"
"The deadbolt on the door didn't work; maintenance tried to fix it, but it was still hard to use. The bathroom was so small that my walker wouldn't fit through the door; I had to have help every time I needed to use the bathroom. The hotel lobby was filled with a group that was drinking and swearing. Don't stay here.2021-11-22"
"Not terrible, but there are better options. The bathtub and sink didn't drain properly, so I was standing in about 8 inches of water in the shower. The floor near the elevator wasn't level because the tiling wasn't completed. The front desk clerk was curt when I asked about breakfast; only coffee and muffins were provided. Find another hotel.2020-10-20"
"Our key cards didn't work, and we got locked out. The hotel room wasn't clean at all, and there weren't enough towels for 2 people. The breakfast area was closed for remodeling, and there was no breakfast available. We could hear loud remodeling work when we were in our room. Stay somewhere else.2020-04-21"

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.
