"The room was comfortable, though the AC was a bit noisy. We received a warm welcome, and the staff had a gift for our puppy. They even helped us unload our car without being asked. Delicious breakfast buffet. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this hotel.2018-05-17"

"Close to a lot of good shops. A good, clean hotel. Loved the suite with plates and utensils. The front desk clerks were friendly and accommodating, and I appreciated being able to borrow a wheelchair. I'd stay here again.2020-12-03"
"The hotel was set back enough that we didn't hear the highway noise. It was clean and well-run, and the staff was accommodating and pleasant. The only negative was the awful lighting in the room; every light was a bright halogen light with no dimmer. Take advantage of the wonderful restaurants on Moody Street.2021-05-09"

"The hotel was convenient, clean, and comfortable. Awesome room. My only complaint was the noise level from kids in a nearby room. Breakfast was impressive. Great place to stay.2016-02-15"
"Not worth the price. I found toenails on the floor, and had to chase after a housekeeper when I found that the bed had no bedsheet. No spare towels available. The front desk service was poor, and the employees overall didn't seem to care about customer service. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-10-11"

"We arrived at the hotel an hour after check-in, but our room wasn't ready. After waiting another 15 minutes, the clerk said it still wasn't ready and gave us a different room type. I wasn't impressed with the room; it was smaller than I wanted and right by the highway. On a positive note, the bartender was nice. Don't stay here.2020-02-16"

"The hotel was dated, and the carpet on the 4th floor was soiled and needed to be replaced. The room was clean, quiet, and well-stocked. The beds were firm and in good shape. We checked in quite late, but it went smoothly, and the noon checkout time was appreciated. The service was excellent. Good place to stay, but we thought it was too pricey. No complimentary breakfast. The $35 parking fee was ridiculous. We recommend finding other options.2019-12-04"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
