"The TV in my room didn't work, and the hotel clerk wasn't able to fix it. The carpet wasn't vacuumed, and I found to-go food boxes under the chair. At 4 AM, I woke to water leaking from the ceiling. There was green spatter all over the shower curtain. I decided to leave, and the clerk offered no compensation.2023-07-02"
"Right off the exit and next to fast-food restaurants. Our room was extremely clean, and even though it was a smoking room, there was no odor. Good hotel for a short stay.2018-05-23"
"Definitely a no-frills place. No shampoo or conditioner in our room, and the soap bars were small. We had to wait over 30 minutes to check in since there was only one motel clerk on duty. No coffee until morning, and no breakfast at all. No pool or lobby restroom.2023-10-02"

"Everything in this hotel was broken or dirty, and remodeling gear lay everywhere. I had a view of the stray cats by the dumpster. The bathtub didn't work. The customer service was the worst. Turn around and run away.2017-05-30"
"The hotel had problems. The room wasn't clean, and the door wouldn't lock. Some of the wall panels didn't meet the ceiling. Find another place to stay.2018-10-25"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
