"This was the most pleasant and convenient motel stay we've experienced for the price. The room had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, dining table, make-up table, safe, living room, and a comfortable king bed. Don't worry about bringing a hair dryer, iron, or toiletries.2016-03-10"

"A good, economical choice. The exterior of the motel wasn't fancy, but we were extremely pleased with our clean, updated room. We were impressed by the follow-up call shortly after we checked in to make sure we were satisfied. We felt relaxed and slept well. The front desk clerks were courteous and thoughtful, and there was some variety at the complimentary breakfast.2017-08-22"

"Not a good experience. There was a lot of noise at the motel, and I couldn't sleep.2020-05-30"

"The motel was OK, but parking was tight.2017-06-09"
"A 20-minute walk to the hospital. The room was plain but decent, and the bed was comfortable. No carpeting, which was fine with me. I'd asked for a smoking room, but got a smoke-free room. My request for an early check-in was denied. I waited 20 minutes for the office to open. The motel clerk was rude and even asked for my credit card PIN; I had to shield the numbers with my hand. I was charged a $200 security fee because I paid with a debit card. The checkout clerk was pleasant, and there was an employee who was gracious and made my stay better.2021-01-29"

"OK motel for the price. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Everything worked, and the small AC cooled the room quickly. About half of the TV channels were in foreign languages, so the selection for me was limited. No security, but there were no homeless people in the area.2022-01-17"

"The motel was undergoing much-needed renovations. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the grounds weren't that nice and the construction noise was loud. Friendly, helpful personnel. Great place to crash, but not a place to hang out during the day.2018-04-15"
"The motel was in a bad part of town. The beds were uncomfortable. Every swimmer in my family had a rash after swimming in the saltwater pool. No protein at breakfast.2017-05-30"
"Ideal location. The motel was well-run but dated. One electrical outlet was dead, so we had to use extension cords for lights and appliances. Housekeeping was above average. Go for it, but expect the stay to suit the cost.2015-12-03"
"The motel room was clean. My stay went well.2018-05-20"

"The bed was shaped like a banana and felt like sleeping in a hammock. Not a bad motel, but if you have small kids, be aware that windows on the 3rd floor open all the way, and the screen in our room was bent.2017-08-02"

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.
