"Good location. The hotel clerks were friendly and helpful, but housekeeping was a real disappointment. The beds weren't made for 2 days, and no shampoo was provided. The wastebasket and liner were sitting on the bathroom counter. My makeup sponge on the soap dish was thrown away.2019-03-27"

"The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet, but the reception area was being renovated when we arrived. It was dusty and smelled like a sawmill. There was plastic around everything, including the front desk; there was just a hole to speak to the clerk.

No coffee the last day.2018-07-28"

"The room was nasty and the furniture was dirty. We found dead bugs in the bed and shower, and the bedsheets were stained. The toilet overflowed, and afater maintenance repaired it, we had to call for help again because my child got locked in the bathroom. The clerk argued with me about the room. The pool area was so cold that people were sitting around in their coats. This was one of the worst experiences I've had. Stay at another hotel.2015-12-22"

"Convenient to St. Mary's Hospital, and the rates were competitive. The shuttle to and from Mayo buildings was reliable and a wonderful perk.

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.
