"The hotel room was clean, and check-in was pleasant. Book it.2021-06-21"
"Convenient to the beach. The decor was dated, but the hotel was clean and decent. The door didn't lock securely unless is was pulled hard, and I had to get new key cards every day. The front desk clerks weren't familiar with the area and were unable to recommend dining or shopping locations. They didn't answer the phone and didn't wear masks despite signs saying masks were required. The pool was clean and well-maintained. Coffee and water were available, and there were vending and ice machines, but they only took cash. No major stores or restaurants nearby; Meijer's was 5 miles away, and Walmart was 10 miles away.2020-07-27"

"The motel room was disgusting. The paint was peeling, and the bedding was filthy. The walls were dirty. The bathtub wasn't clean, and the grab bars were broken. Don't stay here; just because remodeling is underway isn't an excuse for not cleaning.2016-12-22"
"Located in a safe, decent area. You get what you pay for here. The hotel had been recently remodeled, and the room had good soundproofing. One lightbulb was burned out, and wasn't replaced even after we notified the front desk. The clerks were otherwise helpful. The housekeeper never left enough towels for our family of 4. Everything else was acceptable. Ask for a room away from the highway.2015-08-06"

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.
