"The 1st room had white powder on the floor, so we were moved to another room. The hotel was being renovated, and there was no hot water for showers in the morning. The beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Good on-site restaurant.2017-08-31"

"The location was seedy. The room and hallway smelled bad, and there were bugs on the carpet. The balcony door lock didn't work well. The parking lot had many large potholes. A horrible hotel; I decided not to stay.2016-04-29"
"There was a definitely odor of chlorine though we were 2 long corridors from it in our room; it may have been a cleaning product. Service at the hotel was OK.2016-01-25"

"We asked for room repairs and cleaning when we left on the shuttle, but nothing was done. The shuttled failed to pick us up after the Wild game. The complimentary breakfast was disorganized, and the food was cold. The on-site bar and restaurant were the bright light of our stay; the service and dining were excellent. Look for a different hotel.2018-01-17"
"The hotel charged extra for Internet access and parking.2016-09-05"
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the nice room to the cocktail reception and complimentary shuttle to the cooked-to-order omelet and coffee, everything was great. The only negative was that the bed sagged in the middle. Definitely a good experience overall.2016-02-03"
"Not worth the price, though the view was nice and the bathroom was spacious. We weren't told that we'd have to call to have the room serviced. I called for clean cups and towels and they were brought up, but the dirty cups and towels weren't removed. The room and hallway carpeting needed vacuuming. No hotel information in the room. The employees were kind, and the valet service was excellent.2021-10-22"
"The bath was sub-par, and the hotel food was overpriced, but I had a great stay otherwise.2017-10-19"
"An expensive hotel. Everything was first-class until we tried the Citizen Restaurant for breakfast. The service was slow, the food was cold when it arrived, and we didn't get what we ordered. When I told the checkout clerk, I got a blank look.2017-10-12"
"The hotel was too expensive for what we got. Everything was good except the shuttle left us stranded at an event during the winter carnage. We called 3 times an hour and a half before the shuttle hours ended. I won't stay here again.2018-01-31"
"Nice hotel. The room was clean and quiet. I had a lovely stay.2016-10-09"
"The hotel room overlooked the atrium, which I didn't like. Nice that it had a fridge and microwave, though.2016-06-21"
"Nice hotel. Our room was clean, and all the employees were pleasant and helpful. Loved the free shuttle to and from the hospital, and also the Irish pub, which had good food and drinks. I'd definitely stay here again.2019-04-14"

"Definitely worth the price. Nice hotel with friendly employees. Breakfast was good. I highly recommend staying here.2017-10-18"
"Good hotel for the price. The 1st room smelled musty, and we weren't sure the bedsheets were clean. The bathroom door wouldn't shut. We got a room change right away, along with a $15 deduction for the hassle. The 2nd room smelled less musty, but the door was hard to close. Nice lobby and good breakfast bar. The attendant did a great job.2017-08-17"

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.
