"Located right off the interstate; some might be bothered by the noise, but it wasn't an issue for me. The motel was being remodeled during our stay. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was better than we expected.2019-02-05"
"I arrived at the motel at 3 PM, but my room wasn't ready until 4 PM. The room was clean and nice other than a burn hole in the comforter. Friendly staff.2015-05-05"

I called again at 10:30 and was told they were locked up and I couldn't get any until morning. I left after one night. Don't stay here.2021-07-15"

"The best thing I can say is that the toilet flushed and there was hot water. Things went downhill from there. It's a typical run-down, interstate motel. The one bright spot was the 5-star check-in clerk.2015-03-23"
"A no-frills, acceptable place to stay. Room was clean.2015-01-18"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
