"The toilet didn't work in one of our two rooms. The staff was slow to respond, and couldn't fix the problem. I'd rather camp than stay at this motel again.2023-06-03"
"Just an average motel, but it's convenient to Bryce Canyon. The walls were so thin that I could hear the people upstairs stomping around at 5 AM and a crying baby in the next room. Not a good value.2021-06-30"
"The room was clean, and the motel clerk was polite and gave us lots of great information.2017-03-30"
"The motel was clean and quiet and away from the craziness. No wireless Internet in the room, though. The restaurant was understaffed, and the food was burned. The waiter was wonderful, but couldn't do everything by himself.2016-05-17"

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.
