"The motel was quiet and convenient to stores. The room was clean and comfortable and had a kitchenette. The staff was welcoming.2020-05-25"
"Economical and handy to restaurants and stores on Lancaster Street. The motel exterior was inviting and attractive. The plumbing, blankets, curtains, and interior paint showed the wear and age of the motel. We felt like we needed to wipe down kitchen surfaces.2016-06-28"
"The assistant manager was rude; I arrived at 3:20 PM and was told the rooms weren't ready and she had until 11 PM to provide one so I should come back later. When I asked how much later, she scolded me and said she wouldn't repeat herself. I cancelled my reservation and went to another motel.2016-05-08"

"The motel was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and it was close to I-5. The poor WiFi was the only negative. The area seemed a little sketchy, being tucked at the end of a Fred Meyer store parking lot. We didn't have any problems and would definitely stay here again.2019-06-19"
"Not a great motel stay. The handle on the dresser was broken, there was a hole in the wall, and a burn mark on the bedspread. The faucet was broken, and some lightbulbs were burned out.2018-09-18"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
