"Clean, comfortable room with a good bed. Dogs were welcome. We weren't informed about the light supper on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Stay at this hotel.2019-07-07"
"The hotel room was clean, but the bed was uncomfortable. Great staff and good food.2016-09-15"
"The hotel was clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to stay with my dog.2016-05-22"
"Not a bad hotel. The room was clean and pleasant.2022-09-16"
"The hotel was run-down and not worth the price. The toilet overflowed at night, and the front desk clerk was nowhere to be found. When we did reach him, he said he'd contact us after talking to maintenance. We never heard back, so we asked for a plunger and cleaned up the mess ourselves. The manager never returned my call, and the staff overall was indifferent. Don't stay here.2019-08-24"
"A horrific experience. The hotel was in poor condition. There was no hot water, and the bathtub didn't drain. We didn't stay and don't recommend it.2019-05-09"
"We heard unexpected train track noise in our hotel room. Poor customer service at the front desk. The only great service was from the housekeepers. The food wasn't that good.2019-03-16"

"Not a good hotel. There was a hole in the room window that was covered with packing tape. The toilet was broken. The front desk was often unmanned, and there was no security. Don't stay here.2019-10-12"
"The room wasn't ready at 4 PM. The hotel lobby could've been cleaner. The mattress seemed new and comfortable, but the pillows were awful. The continental breakfast was just a few muffins and coffee.2019-05-15"
"Excellent accommodations. The room and common areas were clean and well-kept, and the rates were reasonable. The hotel clerk didn't seem to know what he was doing, and check-in took nearly 15 minutes. The checkout clerk seemed baffled when I asked for a receipt.2019-04-10"
"The room was clean, but the beds were terribly hard and uncomfortable, and there was a loud tapping sound in the bathroom all night. The hotel staff was nice.2018-06-04"

"The hotel was fabulous. The room was clean and comfortable, and we were warmly welcomed.2015-05-21"
"Nice hotel, but the in-room phone didn't work. I liked that breakfast was available. There were several dining options within easy walking distance.2022-06-24"
"You get what you pay for. The hotel was simple and fairly clean, and the lobby was inviting. Average room, but it was quiet. The desk chair was broken and tilted when I sat in it. The carpet needed to be replaced, and we found someone's shoes under the bed. Housekeeping only made one bed the 2nd day. Carb-heavy breakfast. There was only one, slow elevator. Go with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.2017-11-19"
"Excellent value. The hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Nice staff.2017-01-09"
"Close to restaurants, major roads, and businesses. This hotel fully met my expectations. It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The employees were accommodating; we had a minor issue with the toilet, and a maintenance man came immediately to fix it. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.2016-10-28"
"The hotel was clean and quiet, but showing a bit of age. The drawer pull on the bureau was broken, and a screw was missing from the towel rack. The employees were friendly, and my stay was quite nice.2016-08-17"
"Not a luxury hotel. The lobby still reeked of old, stale smoke. The bedsheets were pilled. No daily housekeeping, and we weren't told ahead of time, so we returned to an unmade bed and no fresh towels. We only got one tiny bar of soap for our 3-night stay. We requested clean towels, but the dirty ones weren't removed. The "hot" breakfast was a joke. Don't stay here.2021-06-07"
"This is a superior hotel. The room was huge, and I was able to park in the convenient lot underneath for $20. Nice bar, too.2017-02-10"
"Hotel was nice and clean. Employees were friendly and helpful. They guided me to restaurants within walking distance, and offered a discount card for participating eateries. No on-site parking lot; there was an attached parking garage around the back, and another half a block away. I'd definitely stay again.2015-03-23"

"The room didn't look like online photos, and I didn't like the floral wallpaper. The busy decor made it hard to relax. The temperature control switches didn't work, but maintenance came right away and fixed them. The carpet was worn and needed vacuuming, and there were cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. When I told the front desk clerk that the key card wasn't working, I was told that the hotel was booked solid. People smoked marijuana right outside my room. Don't stay here.2023-05-29"

"My motel room was OK, but looked like something out of the 1960s. It really needed renovation.2022-01-09"
"The room was old and in bad condition. The mattresses were old and lumpy, and the bathroom was so filthy that we couldn't take showers. We spoke to the motel clerk, and she said it was the kind of room you get if you bring a dog. I can't express what a horrible place this was.2022-01-04"

"My request for a late checkout was denied. I asked if I could get a microwave and was told no. I asked if there was one in the lobby I could use and was told no again. The room was nice and there was plenty of parking, but the staff wasn't accommodating.2016-07-23"

We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
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.
