"The hotel clerks and housekeepers were responsive. I enjoyed having access to the Club floor. However, on 2 nights, I was disturbed by the TV in the adjacent room, and on the 3rd night, I woke to a strong, peculiar, chemical-like smell. No room service, and no shuttle service to the hospitals.2023-03-17"

"The line at check-in was long, and the hotel clerk said the coupon packets were locked in the manager's office. I tried calling repeatedly, but no one answered the phone, so I finally went back down and had to wait 30 minutes to get the packet. Don't stay here.2018-05-24"
"The hotel room didn't have any heat; we were moved to another room, but there was no hot water in the morning for showers. The 9th floor was dirty, poorly lit, and the elevators didn't always work. Find another place to stay.2017-11-27"

"The rates seemed high, but the hotel room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. We got a good night's sleep. We were a bit unhappy that everything cost extra, including a fridge. No soda vending machine on our floor.2018-04-09"
"Lovely hotel. Our room was on the 9th floor, and we heard an intermittent noise all night that sounded like a subway passing under the building.2016-05-03"
"Our room was nice and clean, and the hotel employees were pleasant and helpful. No one told us that we had to use our key card to operate the elevator. Stay here.2024-02-07"

"Convenient location. Although the hotel and convention center were adjacent to one another, the convention center entrance was 2 blocks away. We found some hair on the shower wall. The hotel staff was extremely competent. The front desk clerks were patient, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the valet was helpful and informative. 2023-03-13"
"The hotel clerks were friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here.2021-06-16"
"An unpleasant experience. I asked for a 1st floor room and was given a room on the top floor far from the elevator. Towels weren't replaced daily unless a request was made in advance. During my 4-day stay, my room was never cleaned. The ice machine was in the basement. The hotel entrance was on a busy street, so loading luggage was inconvenient. Good variety of microwavable breakfast items and liberal breakfast hours.2021-08-21"
"Our room was clean, the bedsheets were fresh, and the carpet wasn't stained. The bathroom had new fixtures, and the shower had a glass door. The decor was spartan, but it was a good value. The hotel lobby was large, clean, and bright, with laminate flooring. The elevators were clean. Located in a seedy neighborhood, but it's a good option. 2021-07-12"

"The hotel was centrally located to downtown attractions. The subway to the sports stadiums was just a block away. The room was well-maintained, but the mattresses were worn. The TV was out of service for hours. The elevators were old and slow; be prepared for long waits during peak hours. I'd give this place 2 stars.2019-08-16"

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.
