"There were bugs in the room. The king bed only had 2 small pillows. The breakfast bar was pretty much empty when we arrived at 6 AM, and the motel clerk was hesitant to put more food out. Fruit Loops are not breakfast. I was disappointed.2023-06-09"
"The motel was under renovation, and I had to turn up the TV to drown out all the noise until it finally stopped at about 6 PM. The room was clean and well-maintained. I liked the flat-screen TV, but had trouble with the remote control. Good WiFi. Breakfast was adequate. At checkout, the front entrance was closed for power washing, so I had to exit from the back. Wait to stay until renovations are done.2018-03-24"
"I really enjoyed my stay at this motel. The housekeepers came by every morning, and our needs were met.2021-07-31"
"The deadbolt on the room door didn't work; we were offered another room, but the motel staff wouldn't help us move our belongings. The bedding and carpet were new, but the furniture was old. The bathroom needed renovation, and the hot water knob in the shower came off in my husband's hand. The motel was dog-friendly, but hopefully you'll get a renovated room.2016-10-04"
"This is the worst motel I've ever stayed in. The room was run-down and had mold that had been painted over. The water pressure was extremely low. There was no chair on the door, and I had to lift the door up to close it. 3 of the lightbulbs were burned out. Pass on this one.2020-08-29"
"My hotel room wasn't serviced during my stay; I had to go to the front desk for clean towels, though a housekeeper did remove the used towels. Stay here if you just need a pet-friendly room.2016-12-02"

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.
