"Nice hotel with understanding personnel. There was a mall across the road.2019-03-23"
"The room smelled musty, and the extra pillows and towels I requested weren't provided. The hotel staff had the worst attitude I've experience at a Marriott property. The front desk clerk acted like she was doing me a favor by talking to me, and the bartender was outright rude. Stay somewhere else.2018-04-19"
"The hotel entrance was dirty, and so was the room. I was given another room, and it was dirty, too. I ended up cleaning it myself. I requested vacuuming, but after waiting over 2 hours, I finally went to the front desk, got a vacuum, and did it myself. Not a good experience.2021-06-01"

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.
