"The bed was comfortable, and the bedding seemed new. All the lights from electronics in the room affected my sleep. No hot water for a shower in the morning, and there was some mold around the bathtub. The hotel staff could have been friendlier. You get what you pay for.2022-04-09"

"We stayed at this motel for 3 nights. The room was adequate, but we only got clean towels once. There was no coffee pot. We had a problem with the room key, and the front desk clerk acted like we were bothering her.2020-10-03"
"The motel was OK. Ask for a room away from the pool.2017-12-20"

"An attractive and well-run hotel. Breakfast was great. Book it.2021-12-11"
"Great experience. The motel met my expectations.2019-07-09"
"I wasn't satisfied with my motel room. There were crumbs in the beds, and the blanket was rough. The fridge wasn't cold enough, so my yogurt and milk went bad. The TV volume was too low. The AC vent emitted a terrible smell. The bathtub was dirty, so I had to clean it before I could bathe my child, who then slipped on a puddle of water on the floor. Don't stay here.2019-06-08"

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.
