"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"

"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"

"Great hotel staff; they were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was overpriced.2016-03-22"
"We were disappointed that the pool and whirlpool were closed for an unknown reason. Only one restaurant was available. We ordered room service both mornings of our stay, and not enough silverware was provided. I booked the shuttle for the next morning, but it wasn't there and I had to make alternative arrangements. I specifically picked this hotel for the amenities, and was disappointed that they weren't all available. Don't stay here.2016-02-27"
"The suite was nice, but it was too close to the noisy elevator. Rowdy teens were loud and kept me from using the whirlpool. Other than that, this hotel was nice.2017-12-12"

"The motel was clean and extremely quiet, and the staff was pleasant. Be prepared to pay $5 a week for wireless Internet access. I'd definitely stay here again.2017-03-02"
"The motel was within walking distance of major malls. We were able to cook in our room, which was a high point. The front desk clerk wasn't informative about area attractions. We were visiting from another country, so some recommendations would've been nice.2015-08-24"

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.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
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.
