"I told the hotel clerk that the shade was missing from a bedside table lamp; I was told it would be fixed, but it never was. The coffee pot didn't work, and the message light on the phone flashed even though there was no message. Good breakfast, and the attendants were pleasant.2016-10-14"

"A basic hotel. The room was clean and had a coffee maker, but the WiFi didn't work. The employees were polite. Breakfast wasn't good, but the coffee was OK. If you need a relatively inexpensive place to stay, this one is fine. 2019-01-29"

"I found a bug in my bed the 1st night. The hotel clerk seemed unconcerned, but did move me to another room. The hotel did pay for a total laundering of my clothing.2015-12-01"
"The rates were fair, and the hotel was pet-friendly. Basic room, but that's what I expected. It took a while for the water to become even slightly warm, but it was fine after that. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Minimal complimentary breakfast.2017-02-20"
"The hotel was clean, and the price was right. I had a pleasant stay and would recommend it to others. Check out Lucky's around the corner; it had many TVs playing sports and live music.2015-11-04"
"The hotel room was clean and well-equipped. Had a kitchenette that was suitable for preparing simple meals.2015-07-21"
"The hotel room was old and smelled musty. It took a long time to get hot water.2019-09-03"
"The hotel was undergoing renovations, so the lobby wasn't appealing. There was only one clerk at the front desk; I tried calling 3 times from the road, and no one ever answered the phone. No AC in the elevator, so it felt like a sauna. The pillows were horrible; we both woke up with sore necks. Don't stay here until renovations are complete.2019-07-09"

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.
