"Not a luxury hotel. The pool, whirlpool, and exercise room were close the first 24 hours of our stay. When they did open, the exercise room was being painted, the whirlpool looked like it hadn't been open for years, and there were ants all over the pool deck. Stay somewhere else.2018-02-27"

"Not a good value. The entire 2nd floor of this hotel smelled like mildew. The carpet in my room felt soggy, and the hallway ceiling had leaks and falling plaster. The evening clerk was friendly and helpful, but the morning clerk was sleeping when I went to the lobby at 5:15 AM. Breakfast was good, and the attendant was friendly and kept the area clean. Don't stay here.2018-08-10"

"The hotel rooms were comfortable and ultra clean. We were greeted with a smile and assigned our 3 rooms. The staff pointed out the location of the pool, exercise room, and ice machine. Breakfast included omelets and a variety of hot and cold food. A kitchen worker asked if everything was satisfactory and if there was anything else we'd like. Don't hesitate to stay here.2019-08-07"

"The room was big and clean, and the staff was accommodating. I recommend this hotel.2018-03-12"
"The hotel had poor soundproofing, so I could hear everything going on in the rooms beside and above mine. I also found a roach in my room. Wouldn't stay here again.2015-08-13"
"When I called about shuttle times, I was told that the 1st floor was undergoing renovation, but was assured that it wouldn't be a problem. When I arrived, I felt like I needed a hardhat. The "front desk" area looked like a storage closet, but the hotel clerk was nice. The room was adequate, but I was given an adjoining room, and a child in the next room cried and banged on the door. I had been told the shuttle started at 4:30 AM, but it didn't actually start until 6 AM. I had a horrid experience.2015-10-25"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
