"Our 1st-floor room was right outside the staff door; employees were noisy, and their children ran around on Saturday - light switch by the door didn't work - fridge didn't work - beds were comfortable - in-room coffee wasn't bad - lamps and TV weren't plugged in - TV schedule wasn't correct - bathroom was clean, but the hair dryer didn't work - computer wasn't working when we checked out, so we weren't able to get a receipt; none was mailed to us as promised - we didn't try the continental breakfast - won't return.2012-04-01"
"The motel was old and worn, and the room was tiny. The check-in clerks were super nice, though. It was a good choice for me since I was with my dog; the room wasn't carpeting, and there was a nice dog walking area under trees that my dog liked a log.2021-03-08"

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.
