"The room looked nice and was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The pool heater didn't work during our 4-day stay, and the whirlpool wasn't warm enough and the jets didn't work. Good hot breakfast, though some selections were better than others. There was a lot of construction going on at the hotel and exit when we stayed.2021-04-14"

"This hotel is a great choice. It's about equal distance from Ohio River activities and Ark Encounter. The rates were reasonable, and the hotel was comfortable and secure. The TV in the room was large, but there were limited free channels. The beds were comfortable but quite high for children and the elderly. We were able to check-in by phone. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent. Limited restaurant choices at the Richwood exit, but there was a sports bar with good food next door.2022-08-29"

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.
