"The hotel needed to be refurbished; everything was dark and dingy. The staff was pleasant.2018-09-24"
"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. It was better the next day, but we were disappointed to have a room just down the hall from the noise and dust. The room was nice and pretty clean. A light evening meal was provided. No coffee the last day.2018-07-28"

"Good value. The hotel was surprisingly nice. The decor was a bit dated, but the suite was large and the beds were comfortable. I even had a full kitchen. I'd stay here again.2016-08-23"
I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.

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.
