"Our 1st-floor room was right outside the staff door; employees were noisy, and their children ran around on Saturday - light switch by the door didn't work - fridge didn't work - beds were comfortable - in-room coffee wasn't bad - lamps and TV weren't plugged in - TV schedule wasn't correct - bathroom was clean, but the hair dryer didn't work - computer wasn't working when we checked out, so we weren't able to get a receipt; none was mailed to us as promised - we didn't try the continental breakfast - won't return.2012-04-01"

"Not a good value. The floor in my hotel room was sticky, and the TV was stuck in shut-down mode, so it was impossible to operate. The phone cord had been ripped out of the handset and was left dangling. I had to go to the front desk to get help, and since there was only one clerk on duty, I had to wait an hour for her to come look at the TV. She couldn't get it to work and moved me to another room, where the carpet was filthy. I expected better and left after one night.2023-10-14"

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.
