"Nice location less than a minute from Rte. 17. Our studio was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated, and we liked being on the 1st floor near the pool, front desk, and breakfast area. The housekeeper noticed a bit of blood on my husband's pillowcase from home and took it to wash, which was very thoughtful. The hotel clerk was helpful and friendly. The small pool was dirty, and the water was cloudy. Get to breakfast early, especially on weekends; it was crowded and the table and floor got dirty quickly. The food was slow to be replenished.2019-07-31"
"Good hotel in a great location. Better vacuuming was needed, but that was the only negative.2018-07-02"
"We checked in at 4 PM and found the the room wasn't ready and the housekeeper was sitting on the bed. We went down to the bar for a while. When we went back to the room, it had been given to another guest. The lights and AC in the 2nd room didn't work. We've stayed at this hotel 3 times, and it's gone downhill each time. We won't stay here again.2022-10-19"

"Too expensive for the lack of amenities. The hotel room was dark; there wasn't even enough light to put on make-up. The clock was so small that we didn't notice it for several hours. There was nowhere to store clothes, just a short bar for hangers. 2022-10-12"

"Nice hotel near good restaurants. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and check-in was pleasant. The AC was loud, but that was the only negative.2018-08-14"
"The hotel smelled like marijuana. There was a cigarette burn on the bed, and the bedsheet was stained. The night clerk was horrible and lacked customer service skills. I left after one night. Not a good experience.2017-08-24"
"The hotel was adequate and everything was in working order, but the the decor and overall look were kind of seedy. One elevator made a banging sound each time it opened. An OK value if you don't need to be impressed or pampered.2017-07-13"
"Nice hotel, but not upscale. The rooms surround the common area below, so it was noisy; we were on the 2nd floor and could hear people talking even when they weren't being loud. There were dirty dishes in the hallway for 3 days. The restaurant doesn't open when the hotel isn't busy. The same menu was served at the bar, but it wasn't a comfortable place to eat a full meal. The bartender was the one bright spot; she both tended bar and served the food.2019-12-02"

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.
