"The hotel was worn. The bushes outside were dead, and the trash cans were overflowing. The air freshener scent in the lobby was nauseating. The check-in clerk was nice, and the decor was OK. The hallways were dark. Our room windows were foggy, so we could barely see out, and the drapes were coming off the rod. The floors were spongy, and the dresser drawers wouldn't stay closed. Only half the bathroom lights worked, and the fan was really loud and annoying. Don't stay here.2021-06-07"

"The hotel suite was dirty and hadn't been serviced after the last guest stayed. I ended up being downgraded to a smaller room, though I did get a reduction in price. My stay was average.2021-05-02"
"The hotel needed updating. The room was clean but old, and the carpet was stained. The employees were friendly and polite.2018-06-16"

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.
