"I told the hotel clerk that my wife was in a wheelchair, but she gave us a room on the 4th floor at the very end of the building. The parking lot was a distance from the building, and there was no drop-off area.2021-03-12"
"The entrance wasn't well-marked. Breakfast was good, but the bar was poorly stocked and the bartender was also working the front desk of the hotel. If you don't want a drink or any snacks from the lobby, you'll be fine.2018-12-28"

The bed and pillows were less than comfortable. The shower drained slowly, and the knobs didn't work properly. No soap for the shower. Good dinner at the on-site restaurant.

"The hotel was missing basic amenities. The beds were too soft, and we found a previous guest's pants in the closet. No exhaust fan or make-up mirror in the bathroom. We felt that the rates were too high due to a concert event in town.2019-07-30"
"The hotel was conveniently located, and the room, bed, and pillows were comfortable. Great breakfast options. 2015-11-19"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
