"My hotel room faced a building's heating and cooling units, and the staff wouldn't let me change rooms. I asked for extra coffee, but never got it as promised.2015-08-27"
"The hotel was overpriced and merely adequate. I requested a lower-floor room, but was put on the 12th floor, where there was no ice machine. The room was small and had 2 non-working phones. 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. Stay here only if you need to be close to the convention center.2021-03-28"

"For what I was, I wasn't too impressed. The room was small though supposedly newly remodeled. The toilet was dirty, and only 2 bath towels were provided. We stayed on New Year's Eve, and the people in the next room partied in their room and the hallway until 4:30 AM. It took 30 minutes to get our car from the valet.2017-01-03"

"Perfect location if you're going to a Reds game. The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. We had breakfast at the on-site restaurant, but it was expensive and the menu was limited.2018-07-30"
"Great location. The room was beautiful and elegant. My only complaint was the lighting wasn't good for putting on makeup. Our window was by the fire escape. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a good place to stay, but ask for a room that's not right by the fire escape.2016-03-27"

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.
