"The TV was damaged, and we were initially blamed. We moved to another room. The front piece of the AC fell off when we turned it on. The fridge didn't work and leaked water on the floor. There were cigarette burns on everything. Don't stay at this motel.2021-09-26"

"The hotel room was clean and had a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly. Great place to stay.2020-01-23"
"This was my 2nd stay at this hotel; both times, the upholstery, throw pillows, and draperies were dirty. There were other signs of wear and tear as well. Other than that, I had no complaints.

"The hotel was decent enough for a short stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for a vacation or family stay. The shuttle driver from the airport was pleasant, and the front desk clerk was nice enough.

Be sure to reserve the shuttle; it only runs when requested.2020-03-13"
"The motel staff was great, and the shuttle was convenient.2020-02-19"

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.
