"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"

"The only positive things we can say about this motel are that the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and looked newly renovated. The carpet and towels were worn and stained, and most of the light fixtures didn't work; the main one didn't even have a lightbulb in it. We were told that coffee would be available at 7 AM, but there was still no coffee 20 minutes later. We won't be staying here again.2021-04-23"
"The hotel was clean. Good place to stop.2023-02-10"
"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. The room was fine. The front desk clerk wasn't friendly at all, and didn't tell us about the $75 deposit charge put on our credit card.

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.
