"Good location. The hotel room was fine. Not much of a view, though, and the window was so filthy that we kept the curtains closed. The $58 parking fee was outrageous.2021-08-27"
"Lots of restaurants, stores, and sightseeing in the area. The bathroom was old, and the plumbing was patched. The corking around the toilet bowl leaked. The hotel staff was welcoming and wonderful; they went above and beyond to meet my needs. 2020-12-17"

"About a 10-minute walk from MGH, so it's convenient if you have a medical appointment. Self-parking cost $15 as opposed to $58 for valet parking. The check-in clerk was strictly business. My stay was OK.2020-09-12"

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.
