"The hotel was unkempt, and the bedspread had an unappealing stain. The front desk clerks were nice, but I don't recommend staying here.2019-10-14"
"The hotel clerk tried 3 different credit cards, and none of them were accepted. We waited a bit and tried again, and there was no problem. The clerk was helpful throughout. The room had a connecting door, and we could hear a lot of noise from the other room, so we asked for a room change. The 2nd room was clean and quiet, despite being next to the Rite Aid parking lot. The breakfast buffet was adequate, and the food was good. No elevator, but the stairs were wide and inside.2019-04-22"

"I was disappointed with my stay. The computer froze up at check-in, and the motel staff didn't know what to do. They finally called a help desk to get them through the registration process. The lobby was small, and there was nowhere to sit. The TV in my room didn't work at all, and the alarm clock was broken. Don't stay here.2023-04-18"
"The room was clean, and the hotel staff was helpful, but early check-in wasn't allowed and I was only given an extra hour when I asked for a late checkout. The pool was shared with another hotel, and there was no whirlpool.2016-08-16"
"There was hair in the shower. Check-in and checkout took too long. The pool was nasty. Don't expect much at this hotel.2016-05-13"
"A maintenance worker unlocked our room door and tried to come in at midnight. We didn't sleep a wink after that. Great check-in clerk, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this hotel.2016-04-13"

"This hotel wasn't worth the price. There were Keurig cups in the room, but no coffee pot. Only one light in the bathroom worked. Check-in was a nightmare; the clerk didn't know what she was doing, and called us in our room at 8:30 PM and had us return to the desk to try the payment system again. We were dissatisfied.2021-01-16"

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.
