"A horrible experience. The hotel room needed a deep cleaning. The AC didn't work well, and the WiFi didn't work for hours. The $16 breakfast was worse than fast-food. Parking cost $30 per night. Don't stay here.2022-08-11"
"The hotel entrance was hard to find. The key card didn't work, but the room was nice. There were plenty of charging ports, but few electrical outlets. There was only one plastic cup and a few disposable coffee cups. Not enough garbage cans. The heating and cooling unit was noisy, but other than that, the room was quiet. The staff was pleasant enough, but wouldn't recommend any restaurant except the one on-site.2021-09-19"

"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"

"My stay was fine, but I didn't like the smell of the cleaner the hotel used. I mistakenly left behind a valuable ring, and the staff kindly found it and mailed it to me.2015-03-23"
"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"

We had trouble with the key card for the parking lot gate and were stuck in the garage for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come open it. Not a good experience.2017-10-13"

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.
