"Nice, clean room and good service. Don't hesitate to stay at this hotel.2019-06-11"

"Good hotel overall. The AC was noisy and stuck on the high setting, so we had to keep adjusting the temperature. The front desk clerk was cheery, friendly, and helpful with restaurant information. The waffles at breakfast were too thin.2018-06-27"
"The hotel didn't have anyone to help with luggage. No hot water for showers. Our room was never serviced during our stay, and we never got fresh towels or extra toilet paper. We made the bed each day ourselves. Not happy that we didn't get a room with a view. The staff was nice.2023-10-11"

"Easy to access from the freeway, and close to several restaurants. The motel was clean and comfortable. More variety at breakfast would've been nice, and stronger coffee. Good place to stay.2021-11-17"
"The hotel was run-down and overpriced. The room carpet was dirty and buckled. The towel bar in the bathroom was broken and lying on the floor. There was only 1 washcloth for 2 people. The hallway reeked of marijuana. The front desk clerk was always outside smoking. Breakfast was old apples and stale bagels. Don't stay here.2023-10-17"
"The hotel room was great, but we were disappointed with the breakfast. There was no hot food, and the juice machine wasn't working. I was able to get some cranberry juice, but it wasn't cold and the ice machine was on the 2nd floor.2022-04-27"

"An excellent facility. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we woke up refreshed. The shower needed no-slip mats, but that was the only issue. The hotel staff was so genuinely friendly and helpful; I've never been treated so well. Great place to stay.2023-10-04"
"The hotel was new, shiny, and bright. Construction was no impediment to having a good stay. The room was large, and the Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch. The TV remote control didn't work; a staff member got everything else working. The fitted bedsheet was too small. It took a long time for the shower water to get hot. The shower water ran onto the floor. The staff bent over backwards to be helpful and pleasant. The $12 breakfast buffet was overpriced. Stay somewhere else.2022-08-28"

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.
