"This motel is OK if you just need a place to sleep. The room was small but clean, and everything was serviceable. The downside was the traffic noise from the highway just outside. The continental breakfast ended at 9 AM.2016-09-29"

"The bedroom furnishings were old, and the carpet was beat up. The lampshades needed to be replaced. No door on the closet, and the leather chair was horribly worn. The bedspread was fine, and the bathroom was nice. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-07-13"

"Breakfast had a variety of choices, but the dinner wasn't appealing to youngsters. Needless to say, I ate at the neighboring Ruby Tuesdays instead of at the hotel.2015-07-20"
"The hotel was conveniently located. Good room, and I enjoyed the employees. But the shower knob didn't work, and the quality of the toiletries was a disappointment. No complimentary breakfast or even coffee.2015-12-10"

"Great value if you just need a place to sleep. Nice lobby, but the hotel room was a little outdated. However, everything was clean and in working order.2017-10-09"
"The hotel was clean, quiet, and reasonably priced. No fridge in the room. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, so it got misty when I showered. The door handle in the bathroom was broken. The entry wasn't clearly marked, and it was hard to spot at night. Just a place to sleep.2017-08-31"
"The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. We realized the shower in our room didn't work, so they moved us to another room. The manager called to apologize, and gave us a discount for the 1st night's stay. Breakfast was great.2023-03-06"

"My stay was great. Friendly staff, nice pool, and good hot breakfast. Everything was clean. The only problem was a funky smell in my room, like wet carpet and mold. Everything else was fine.2015-07-08"
"The hotel was clean, and the room layout was great. I loved the free breakfast. Good place to stay.2016-10-11"
"My 1st room was fine, but when I extended my stay, I had to move to another room. The bed was small and there was mold in the bathroom. I asked for another room, and it also had a small bed. The dishes were dirty, and the chair was stained. The hotel staff came and removed the dirty items.2015-08-10"
"The hotel was clean, and the staff was nice and helpful. The WiFi wasn't working, though.2020-10-18"
"Centrally located hotel; across the street from the theater. Beautiful room, and the bed was almost too comfortable. The cups were dirty, though. Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. When they found out it was my birthday, they upgraded our room for free. When we misplaced our concert tickets, the valet ran back to our car and found them. Nearby restaurants were expensive, but we had food delivered from Filippio's, and it was affordable and delicious. In-room bottled water was warm and cost $4, but cold water was available in the vending machines for less.2015-03-10"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
