"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 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"

"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"
"Nice hotel with pleasant, accommodating personnel. The restaurant wasn't open because of Covid, but there was an abbreviated men that could be delivered to the front desk for pickup.2021-06-12"
"There was a dirty plastic knife in the fridge when we arrived, and a shirt behind the fridge. The toiletries were used. Housekeeping skipped our room altogether one day. No anti-slip mat in the bathtub, so it was good that there was a grab bar. We checked out a day early and don't recommend this hotel.2016-10-17"
"I had trouble getting on the bed because it was so high. There was no table in the room for dining, and nowhere for room service to put my food. I was told the shuttle service had been discontinued, but there was a shuttle bus parked in front. Don't stay here.2019-06-23"
"A horrible experience. The hotel room was dirty and smelled like smoke, and there were beer bottles under the bed and ottoman. The chair was in poor condition, and the coffee pot was broken. There was no shower curtain. We've stayed here a number of times with no problem, but this room wasn't acceptable.2017-12-28"
"There was a large group of visiting children at the hotel, and they were screaming and running wild in the hallways early in the morning. I called the front desk twice to complain and even tried to speak to the childrens' chaperones, but nothing was done. Don't stay here.2019-08-05"

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.
