"The motel was so bad that we left after 1 night.The room was dirty, and there was what looked like dog hair all over the bedsheet and pillowcases. We called the front desk, and someone brought up clean pillowcases, but the pillows were badly stained. Don't stay at this terrible place.2021-06-27"
"My son asked for more towels and was only given one. The water was cut, so we couldn't flush the toilet or take a shower until it was restored in the evening. I had to request reimbursement for the in-room safe charge since the safe was broken. Find another motel.2019-08-14"
"There were many things about this motel that I found unacceptable, but the biggest problem was that there was no water. The room was outdated, and there was mold in the bathroom. The handle of the room safe was broken, so I couldn't use it. Keep looking.2019-08-12"
"The motel was OK for the price, but I wouldn't stay longer than one night. We had to go back to the front desk for instructions on operating the TV volume. There was no breakfast, and no one in the office in the morning.2020-10-04"
"This motel was just OK. The exterior wasn't pretty, but our room was OK and the shower was nice. No breakfast provided, and the coffee was gross.2019-09-01"
"I woke up to find small bugs in our bed and on the floor. I got up and went to the front desk, but the motel clerk was rude and didn't want to help me. He told me to return at 9 AM to talk with the manager. When I returned, the head of housekeeping looked at my video and said the bugs didn't look like bedbugs. The clerk returned and said nothing could be done.2019-07-23"

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.
