"My motel room was nice, comfortable, and clean, but I could hear noise from the room above mine. Ask for a room on the 2nd floor.2015-10-27"
"No-frills motel. The room was fairly clean, and had a working fridge and microwave. The dresser had plenty of storage space. Workers banged on the vending machine at 7 AM. Disappointed that there was no half and half for my coffee.2015-07-14"
"The hotel had a lingering smell of smoke. The AC didn't work, so I changed rooms. The bedspread was stained, and there was no remote control for the TV. No stopper for the sink, either. Breakfast was a disappointment. OK if you just need an inexpensive place to sleep.2016-07-17"

"An awful experience. Nice bed and bedding, though the comforter was torn. The hotel employees were gracious, and the food and drink selections were good. However, the room was filthy with trash, including dirty diapers piled in a corner. The phone didn't work. We were moved to another room, which wasn't much better. The coffee maker was dirty, and there was trash lying between the fridge and closet. Don't stay here.2021-06-09"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
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.
