"Great access to I-75 & Pine Knob Music Theatre. We were pleased to have a top floor hotel room; it was quiet the first few nights, but we could hear the guests next door the 3rd night. We forgot to check the alarm, and it went off at 6 AM. We enjoyed the pool. Get to breakfast early or forget getting omelets or sausage.2022-06-12"

"This hotel was just OK. The exterior was a complete mess, with trash all over, and the interior was no better. The carpet was dingy, there were stickers on the wall, and I found cards on the desk. The coffee pot was broken. The pool water was cloudy. I got to the breakfast area just after 9 AM, and the food was already put away.2019-07-23"

"Good experience overall. The room was comfortable, and the window opened for fresh air. There was an exhaust fan over the stove. Limited TV channels, but the WiFi was good. The shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The parking area and common areas weren't clean. The hotel staff was friendly. Good hotel for folkds on a budget who can tolerate a bit of noise. We'll stay here again.2022-10-30"

"Nice hotel, but one front desk clerk was rude. She ignored me at check-in and then asked if she could help the men behind me. When I called later about a burned out light and asked for an extra towel, she sighed and said she'd take care of it. I got a towel, but the lightbulb wasn't changed until we asked the housekeeper, who sent up a maintenance worker. 2016-09-13"

"For the most part, we really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, but we expected the building to be newer. We loved having a full fridge and cooking facilities, and there were enough dishes for all 4 of us. We were in the room several times when housekeeping came, and we asked them to just empty the garbage cans and give us fresh towels. After that, they didn't clean the room even when we were out, and we stayed for 10 days. This part of our stay was unsatisfactory.2019-07-22"

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.
