"An OK motel for a short stay. Close to the freeway, but it was remarkably quiet. Farnesi's restaurant was adjacent. Our room was clean and had been recently refurbished. The linens were spotless and high-quality. The bathroom was huge, but it took a long time for the water to get hot. The front desk clerk was friendly. Smoking rooms were available. We were pleased and would stay here again.2022-04-26"
"I'm disabled and was given a room on the 2nd floor. The motel didn't have an elevator. No much handicap parking, so I had to walk a ways. No coffee or breakfast buffet.2020-06-09"

"The motel staff was great, but the room was not. There were a lot of sketchy people in the parking lot. The continental breakfast was just coffee and a store-bought muffin or doughnut. Find a better option.2023-07-24"

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.
