"The 1st room was a handicap room with a chirping smoke alarm. The hotel clerk didn't know how to fix it, so she moved me to another room that was OK. The staff was nice. Check around for another option.2018-07-23"
"The hotel reeked of cigarette smoke. The staff was extremely nice, but I couldn't breathe and had to go to another hotel. Don't stay here.2016-08-19"

"Good location. The hotel itself was fine. We arrived at 4 PM, but our room wasn't ready for another half hour, even though check-in time was at 3 PM. The desk manager actually went up and cleaned our room. The employees were nice and personable, but service was sloppy. There was no bottled water in our room, and the extra towels we requested weren't provided. We waited over 20 minutes at the front desk one evening, but no one ever came to help us. Good breakfast buffet.2016-06-29"
"The staff was wonderful, but there were ants everywhere in our hotel room.2020-07-16"
"Great experience overall. The room was large and clean, and the hotel staff was responsive and polite. Good breakfast. There were several times I heard kids screaming and running through the halls after quiet time started, but it didn't last too long. Some guests were loud both nights of my stay. No vending machines, and the convenience store didn't have much variety. A front desk clerk found me some Diet Coke, which I appreciated.2018-11-15"

"The hotel was old, smelled bad, and didn't have an elevator. The ceiling tiles were dirty and loose, and there was no AC in the hallway. After lugging our baggage upstairs, we found that our key didn't work, so we had to go back downstairs to get a working key. On a positive note, the room was clean, nicely appointed, and recently renovated. The bathroom countertop looked like granite, which was a nice touch. The WiFi was unreliable; I had to use my mobile hot spot. The event area was nice, and the catered food was good. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.2019-05-23"

"We didn't get a 1st floor room as requested, and the TV and phone didn't work. We were able to change rooms the 2nd night, but housekeeping only changed the bedsheets and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I had to go back to the front desk and request vacuuming, but no one ever came. I won't stay at this hotel again.2018-02-07"

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.
