"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"

"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"

"Great room, but some guests smoked in their rooms, and the smell in our non-smoking room was strong. Excellent customer service and front desk clerks, and the security guard made us feel secure. We loved the heat laps outside. We ordered a drink at the bar; even though it was closed, the bartender made us a drink and charged it to our room. We'd definitely stay at this hotel again.2017-03-22"
"The room was clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this inn.2020-02-09"
"Easy to locate with exterior signage. I spent a week at this inn, and it was mostly quiet except for early morning street noise. The room was spacious, clean, and inviting, with amenities like a coffee and tea maker, fridge, extra blankets and pillows, and a hair dryer. My only complaint was that it took 4 hours to get the room to a comfortable temperature. Quick check-in and checkout, and the front desk clerks were courteous. The cookies and milk were delicious, and the wine and cheese reception was friendly and cozy. Lots of variety at breakfast, and the attendants were friendly and efficient. The coffee was delicious. Ample parking. If you're a fan of historic architecture, you'll enjoy staying here.2019-11-09"

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.
