"Average hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Excellent restaurant off the lobby. I had a pleasant stay.2015-08-28"
"Nice decor and good beds. The fridge in our room was dirty and had food in it. The hotel clerk was condescending and didn't give clear directions to our room, which we had trouble finding. No apology; I was just told that a housekeeper would be up after a break. No trash bags in the trash cans. I ended up wiping down everything myself. Because of the lack of cleanliness and the clerk's attitude, we didn't have a comfortable stay.2021-04-04"

"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"

"We didn't like this hotel. Our room had no soap, towels, or toilet paper, and when we called the front desk, we were told we'd have to come down to get them. The towels were in the dryer, and no one brought any up as promised. There was no remote control for the TV, and again we were told to go down to get one. Not an enjoyable stay.2019-02-05"
"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"

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.
