"The motel was clean. Great staff and good service.2019-06-01"
"The motel room was clean and nicely decorated. 2 people in our party slept well, but the other 2 said the beds were too hard. I loved the complimentary lotion. The housekeepers were friendly, but the front desk clerks never smiled. Really good breakfast buffet.2016-06-14"
"I wasn't at all impressed with the motel clerks. Someone backed into us in the parking lot, so we needed to file an accident report with the police. The clerks had no idea who to call or what to do.2015-08-18"
"The motel room was clean and spacious. Nice breakfast.2015-05-20"

"The room was clean and spacious, and the hotel clerks were wonderful. We highly recommend staying here.2022-05-29"
"The room was clean and smelled good, but the double beds were too small. I went to the front desk, and we were moved to a 2-bedroom suite that was fantastic. It made our stay memorable. Check-in went smoothly, and the hotel clerks were the best. Book it today.2016-07-07"
"Our "handicap" room wasn't a true handicap room. The hotel clerk was rude; my service dog barked once in the lobby, and he came out to lecture me about dogs. I'd never stay here again and don't recommend it.2016-06-19"

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.
