"The hotel room had been remodeled, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was nice. However, room wasn't clean. The toilet was dirty when we arrived, and there were styrofoam balls on the floor. There was cheese in the fridge, and the coffee and spoon packages were open. The floor hadn't been swept, and the bottom of the sliding door was filled with dirty and grime. Breakfast wasn't being served because of Covid-19, but there was no discount. There were screws in the parking lot, so I had to be careful every time we left. The other guests made me uncomfortable. Stay somewhere else.2020-05-15"

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.
