"The motel room was clean. The bed was comfortable, but the bedspread needed to be replaced. The curtains didn't shut all the way. Even though the highway was nearby, the noise didn't bother us. Great walk-in shower and water pressure, but not enough towels provided. Nice staff. We enjoyed our stay.2022-02-26"
"My non-smoking room smelled like smoke, and there were ashes on the bathroom counter. The room was dirty, and there were holes in the walls. There was hair in the bedsheets and the shower, and the towel rack was falling off the wall. The staff didn't care if I was there or not. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Find another motel.2017-10-28"

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.
