"Convenient to Medstar. My vehicle was too wide for the hotel parking garage. Not a safe area for walking.2021-12-05"
"The hotel clerk and her assistant were helpful, pleasant, and went out of their way to help us. They provided great restaurant recommendations. Short walk to the King Street Oyster Bar. We got our requested wake-up call and they made sure a cab got us to the MedStar Medical Center by 7 AM. The pool wasn't open, and the valet-only parking was expensive.2021-07-09"
"I was not happy about having to use the valet parking service, and wasn't able to access my vehicle when I wanted to, even just to retrieve something I'd forgotten.

"Close to the highway and a lot of little shops. The hotel was clean and had up-to-date rooms and lobby. Loved the kitchenette. No full-length mirror in the room. Quick and easy check-in. The employees were nice, attentive, and helpful. There was only one elevator. Great place to stay.2021-09-26"

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.
