"Convenient to RPI. Nice hotel room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The attached Penalty Box had a fun atmosphere.2016-04-14"
"My hotel room was comfortable and clean, but it was on the 3rd floor and faced the busy road. I heard cars all night long. I had a problem with the TV, and someone was sent to fix it. I ordered room service; the delivery was prompt, and the food was delicious.2015-11-16"
"The hotel room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. I loved having a small sofa. The decor was tasteful, and I appreciated not having carpeting. The area with games was great. We liked that there was an on-site restaurant, but it was loud and the music from the wedding next door was annoying. But we'd definitely stay here again.2022-09-28"

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.
