"The room was quiet, and the beds were comfortable. I couldn't pull the blinds shut to block out the early morning sun. The hotel clerks were polite when I checked in late after a concert at Riverbend.2019-08-24"
"Good location. The hotel was clean, and the employees were nice. Our housekeeper was exceptionally friendly and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. I highly recommend staying here.2018-04-23"
"The hotel was clean and up-to-date and the room was nice, but the housekeepers were extremely noisy in the morning. The staff was friendly and efficient. The parking lot was full, so we had to park in a neighboring lot. Worst of all, the pool was closed due to construction, and we weren't informed before we arrived. The ice machine on our floor was out of order.2018-03-13"

"Good motel and good service.2022-04-01"
"About 20 minutes from our concert at Riverbend. The room was nice and clean. The motel clerk was kind enough to get a bandage for my husband when he got a cut. There were restaurants in the area; we walked to the White Castle at night and felt safe and secure.2019-07-15"
"There were holes in the wall of my hotel room, and the fridge didn't work. Only one towel was provided.2018-03-08"
"The motel room was filthy. The carpet had burn marks, and the bedding and towels were stained. So was the furniture. The shower was disgusting. Don't stay here.2017-12-12"
"The motel room was clean, but the TV remote control, the phone, and the clock didn't work. The front desk clerk did come show us how to operate the TV manually; she was professional. We'd stay here again and recommend it.2017-09-21"
"Nice hotel for the price. Clean, updated room. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows, and the bathroom was exceptionally clean. The only negative was the people sitting on the outside stairs to smoke. We asked for a late checkout, and were bothered 3 times by people wanting to see if we were still there. If you're looking for a quality room for an affordable rate, this is a great choice.2021-07-14"

"The hotel was located in a run-down area, and is run by very frugal management. The room had a microwave and fridge. No blanket on the bed, and no extra toilet paper provided. Paint was peeling off the shower walls. Nice, clean outdoor pool. The only working ice machine sat in an inch of standing water. No water available in the vending machine. Continental breakfast wasn't edible, and no coffee condiments were available.2015-09-08"

"Clean hotel and room. Convenient to Cincinnati.2021-07-26"
"Not a good value. The hotel room was noisy, and housekeeping didn't clean the rooms or check to see if we needed anything because of Covid. The bag breakfast was a disgrace. I definitely won't be back.2020-06-15"
"The room was too small, and there was only 1 chair. Not enough linens provided. The sliding door in the bathroom didn't close all the way. The pool was over-chlorinated, and there were no towels in the pool area. I don't recommend this hotel.2022-04-13"
"The room was small, but the hotel clerks were friendly.2021-09-09"

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.
