"Close to local attractions. The hotel was cozy, and the staff was accommodating.2017-06-24"
"Decent rates, but the motel was just OK. The toilet was dirty, and there was a plastic laundry bag under the bed. Nice sliding doors to the exterior. Adequate service. The dog park wasn't great.2016-09-23"
"All the furniture in the motel room was banged up, and the AC cover was broken on one side. Old, dented, unsightly refrigerator, but it did work. The toilet seat was broken and had been painted. The shower curtain didn't have a liner, so it wrapped around me like a shawl when I showered. The water control valve needed to be replaced. No other rooms were available. No continental breakfast. There was an assortment of broken furniture in the parking lot. What a sight.2015-05-30"

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.
