"This is an older hotel that needs a lot of work. Our room felt like a dungeon; it was behind the indoor pool between the showers and pool filtering equipment, and we could smell chlorine. The room needed a deep cleaning. Not an uplifting experience.2019-03-23"
"We're old, and the motel clerk put us on the 2nd floor with no elevator. The room was worn. The light by the bed was burned out. The bathroom door frame was bent, so the door wouldn't stay closed. The room door wouldn't lock. The toilet didn't flush well, and the lid was the wrong size. The vanity light wouldn't turn on, and the switchplate was dirty. Pay a little more and stay somewhere else.2023-01-12"

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.
