"The hotel needed better soundproofing. It cost extra to rent the kitchen package; the room didn't even have a glass or a spoon. Basically no breakfast, but the coffee was good.2019-04-04"

"The hotel was somewhat run-down. The room had an odor, and the carpets were worn. The bed was comfortable, though, and the staff was excellent. Good place for the price if you just need a place to rest.2021-06-02"
"The hotel was nice, clean, and well-run. The bottom of the bathtub was curved, making showering awkward. The towels felt like sandpaper, and the elevator was slow. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet.2019-02-18"

"The room was remodeled. The motel clerk was friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was good. A security guard patrolled the property when I stayed during the Balloon Festival.2022-10-04"
"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"
"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"
"This hotel was a visual delight; the decor and Native American sculpture were spectacular. There were seating areas set invitingly among the artwork and video footage. Our room was comfortable, with Native American carpet and decor. We thought the entire place was exceptional and clean. Staying here was a nice surprise.2021-08-10"
"The hotel room was clean, and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was fresh and well-prepared. There were restaurants between the hotel and the highway, but they were a bit hidden. I'd definitely stay here again.2021-09-12"

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.
