"The room-darkening blinds didn't sufficiently block out the light from the parking lot, and the green blinking light from the smoke detector also contributed to the illumination of the room. Don't stay at this hotel if you need a dark room for sleeping.2019-09-16"
"Excellent location away from noisy roads. The hotel room was modern, spacious, and clean, and the front desk clerks were helpful with finding restaurants. Clean indoor pool and whirlpool. The hot breakfast had everything you could want. We highly recommend staying here.2018-07-31"

"Everything was fine. The hotel room was clean. Great beds and good TV. Minimal breakfast due to Covid, but the coffee was good.2021-07-20"
"We were disappointed with the hotel. It smelled musty and bad, and the room was outdated. The manager offered to move us to a suite at no extra charge. I went into the bathroom and saw a centipede. We left less than an hour after we arrived.2015-04-11"
"The hotel was convenient to Carrier Dome, but it was expensive. It was supposedly smoke-free, but my room had an overwhelming smell of smoke. I loved the on-site restaurant. 2022-06-07"

"The staff was the redeeming thing about this hotel. I needed help operating the shower, and then couldn't shut it off. The water pressure was like sharp needles. There was a door stop on top of the bathroom door. Breakfast was a piece of fruit and a muffin in a bag. I was disappointed.2021-08-06"
"Not worth the price. The room wasn't clean when we arrived; it smelled like dirty feet, the bedspread had dirt on it, and the toilet hadn't been flushed. We were moved to another room. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-06-14"
"There was no top sheet on the bed, and I found a plastic straw and plastic wrap on the floor. The bathroom door wouldn't close. There was only one coffee cup by the in-room coffee pot. This hotel was the worst.2020-08-05"
"I heard too much traffic noise in my hotel room and couldn't sleep. Ask for a room away from the road.2019-10-27"
"We had a great stay. The hotel was right next to the NY thruway, and close to the airport, stores, restaurants, and the zoo. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was good. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy the pool and whirlpool. 2019-09-02"
"There was a hole in the duvet. The sink was clogged, and the toilet ran after being flushed. The showerhead leaked. The front desk clerks were unprofessional. The hotel shuttle to the airport never arrived.2022-03-16"
"The hotel lobby had a nice fireplace. The room was nicely appointed and quite comfortable, and the beds were like sleeping on a cloud. My son went to purchase cookies from the snack kiosk, and the cashier went in back and returned with a glass of cold milk for him. Above-average complimentary breakfast, and I enjoyed visiting with the attendant. Our stay couldn't have been any better.2022-02-04"
"The room was really clean and comfortable, and the staff was amazing; they went above and beyond for everyone. I highly recommend this hotel.2019-09-02"
"This was a top-notch hotel. I had no complaints. The room was spacious and nicely designed. Big exercise room and good breakfast. Book it.2019-05-18"
"The hotel was nothing fancy, but I got a clean room for a good price. The bed wasn't great, and the frame was broken. The hotel was quiet, and the staff was friendly. Basically just coffee for breakfast.2023-02-16"

"The hotel clerk was nice and even gave us a map showing the location of the medical building we were going to. This is a good choice.2022-03-18"
"The hotel was clean. The check-in clerk gave us a room at the far end of the 2nd floor, which was OK until loud music started up. It didn't stop until 11 PM, and we had to turn up the TV volume all the way up just to hear it over the music.2022-12-17"
"Nice hotel just minutes from shopping, dining, and Tim Horton's. The shuttle took us to and from the Carrier Dome, and was so convenient.2015-04-09"
"The hotel room wasn't cleaned very well. The sofa was dirty, and the carpet needed vacuuming. No blanket for the sofa bed; I called the front desk and asked for one, but at 11:30 PM went down to ask again. The clerk said it would be delivered to the room, but it never was.2022-08-23"
"An impressive hotel that's worth the price. The property was extremely clean and well-maintained. The staff was efficient, friendly, and helpful. Breakfast was limited because of the pandemic, but it was quite adequate. Definitely stay here.2020-10-02"
"Great hotel with excellent facilities and service. Book it now.2018-10-30"
"The hotel lobby was noticeably clean, and the front desk clerk was nice. She even called our room to make sure everything was OK. I liked having a kitchen in the room. My only complaint was that only one roll of toilet paper was provided. We had to call and ask for another roll. 2023-02-07"
"The housekeeper left a note in our room that there were no more towels and we should call the front desk if we needed any. Don't expect much at this hotel.2020-02-19"
"The hotel was somewhat isolated, so you'll need a car if you want to go anywhere. I didn't feel welcome when I arrived, and the check-in clerk seemed to not want to be bothered by me or my questions. I wasn't told that the WiFi password was in the key card envelope, and there was no information about restaurants or anything else in the area. We felt like we were on our own. The parking area was across a busy street.2020-01-30"
"The rates were reasonable. The bed was soft and plush, but not great for people with back issues. Nice pool and exercise room. Wonderful shuttle service to Lakeview Ampitheater and restaurants near the hotel.2017-07-19"

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.
