"This hotel was a dump. The room hadn't been vacuumed when I arrived. There was a leak in the bathroom that left the floor flooded. The shower was dirty, and there were soap stains in the holders. Choose another place to stay.2019-06-13"

"Good value. Clean, well-kept hotel. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were exceptional; I wish I had some for my bed at home. The staff was accommodating and professional, and happily welcomed my pet. There was quite a bit of noise from MD 100, so ask for a room away from the highway. I'd stay again.2015-06-02"

"Our hotel room was in an older annex and it showed. The wallpaper was peeling, the key card didn't always work for the front entrance, and the toilet was stained.

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.
