"A decent hotel, but it had the thinnest walls I've ever experienced. The people in the next room were loud until 1:30 AM, so I didn't get much sleep. The employees were polite.2022-06-13"
"The hotel wasn't fancy, but it served our purpose. Our room was on the 2nd floor, and we could hear noise from surrounding rooms and the freeway. The double beds were small, and the $25 per night pet fee was high. No ice machine on our floor. Good variety at breakfast, though food ran out quickly and the attendant had a hard time keeping up with the demand.2018-10-23"

"The hotel looked a little sketchy from the outside, but it was nice inside. Nice room, and the pillows were amazing. Large fitness room and good breakfast. There was a kids' party in the whirlpool when I'd hoped to use it. The ice machine was broken, but the front desk clerk got some ice for me.2018-02-01"
"The hotel was hard to find since it was behind a Best Western.2017-08-24"
"The front desk clerk initially entered the wrong credit card number and my card was denied. The only hot items at breakfast were make-your-own waffles and packaged oatmeal. Don't stay at this hotel.2017-01-16"
"Clean, excellent hotel room with a great view of the river. The service was good. There were loud people in the hallway at 3 AM, though.2020-01-12"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable. Ask for a room with a view of the river; I was on the opposite side of the building and had a view of air ducts. Nice whirlpool for relaxing, and the workout room was small but adequate. I was satisfied.2016-06-19"

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.
