"Clean hotel with professional personnel.2022-10-31"
"The hotel room was clean. No coffee before 6 AM, and breakfast was a joke. No snack or soda vending machines.2021-09-01"
"The room was odd, with a strange partition in the middle and lots of unused space. I didn't like having the sink outside the bathroom, and there was no vent. Good service; the hotel clerk was doing 3 jobs, but still took care of us quickly. 2019-04-24"
"The beds in my hotel room were hard. The heating and cooling system was user-friendly.2016-06-13"

"There were cracks in the door. The bed linens were obviously dirty, and the comforter had holes in it. Good WiFi signal. The toilet didn't flush. However, the shower worked well. Not worth the price unless this motel is your only option.2015-05-21"

"Housekeeping didn't clean my room during my 2-night stay. I didn't even get clean towels. The front desk was only staffed during the day. I've never stayed in such a cheap hotel before. Pay a little more and stay somewhere better.2015-05-19"

"Nice hotel room. It was fairly quiet, but we could hear a party in the room across the hall. The toilet seat was loose. The housekeeper didn't leave coffee supplies when she serviced the room. The garbage can by the coffee in the lobby was overflowing. Don't expect much service here.2017-09-05"

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.
