"The area around the hotel seemed safe. There were gaps around the room door that let in sunlight in the morning. The beds were clean. There was lettuce in the microwave, and the dresser was small and had missing handles. There was hair in the bathtub. Check-in was easy. Adequate parking and good exterior lighting. I wouldn't recommend staying here more than one night.2019-09-23"

"This motel was so bad that we slept in our clothes. A pit bull charged at us when we got off the elevator on our floor. We had to change rooms because of loud barking and screaming.

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.
