"This was our worst hotel stay ever. The AC in our room barely worked, the alarm clock was from the 1960s, and there was no hot water. We told the front desk clerks; they said they'd call maintenance, but we never saw any maintenance workers. The room had 2 fridges, neither of which worked well, and the cabinet was dirty. The room wasn't carpeted. The hallways had dirty carpeting and scuffed walls. The vending machine in the hallway was empty, and the ceiling above it was torn out. We left early in the morning. Don't stay here.2019-09-25"

"The hotel room was clean, the view was excellent, and the bed was comfortable. The front desk service was exceptional; the clerks handled all inquiries and problems in a friendly, courteous manner. The amenities looked great, but we didn't have time to use them. OK food at the restaurant, but the menu was limited. No continental breakfast. We were charged for an extra day of parking because of a late checkout, but we were able to sort that out. We recommend staying here.2019-07-21"
"We stayed at this hotel on New Year's Eve, and it was a horrible experience. The rates were too high, it took about a half hour to get a drink, and the bar ran out of basics. We ordered food at 10 PM, but the kitchen closed at 11 and we never got our food. Don't stay here.2018-01-03"

"Nice hotel with great customer service. Unfortunately, my room had no heat; we finally got a space heater, but it only warmed the room to 60 degrees. We froze the entire night and morning. The door lock didn't work, either, so we didn't feel secure.2018-01-06"

"The hotel looked nice, but the room was dated. The carpet and bathtub were dirty, and the walls were stained. The bottled water in the fridge cost $3-$4, and both were half-empty. There was tape on the walls. The valet person was unfriendly and pushy, and parking cost $28 per night. There were noisy kids running around in the lobby. Find another place to stay.2019-08-20"
"An amazing experience. Great hotel; go for it.2018-10-15"

"Convenient downtown location; easy to access from highways. Good value. The hotel room was comfortable and quiet, and the employees were friendly and accommodating. This was the perfect place for us to stay after a Tigers game. Highly recommend.2016-09-13"
"Not worth the price. The room smelled like smoke and wasn't clean enough. Even the pillows smelled like smoke. When I turned on the heater, the smell got worse. The furniture and carpet were old and dirty. There were no bath towels, so I had to go back to the front desk to get some. Quick check-in. The staff was responsive when I called about kids partying at 4 AM. Choose another place to stay.2019-05-01"

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.
