"I expected more for the price. The motel was old, and the plumbing needed work. The room was clean, and the bed was nice and comfortable. The toilet wasn't properly bolted to the floor, and there was some mold on the shower tile. Good, simple breakfast. The staff refused my request for a 1st floor room, and didn't tell me that there was an elevator; I didn't find it until my last day.2016-06-25"

"Hotel was clean, comfortable, and quaint. Beautiful grounds. Our room was a bit small, but had everything we needed. Only had white blinds on the window, no drapes to block out sunlight or porch lights. Staff was friendly.2015-02-26"
"Not a good value. I wasn't notified that the hotel was undergoing overdue remodeling. The room was dingy and depressing, but the entire staff was pleasant and made every effort to please. Don't stay here until the renovations are complete.2015-11-12"
"The motel staff was great; they were nice and went out of their way to be helpful.2020-10-04"
"Good location. The motel room was clean. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was noisy. Friendly staff and adequate breakfast. 1st floor rooms were halfway in the basement; ask for a room on a higher floor. Good place for a short stay.2018-10-14"
"The motel room was below the breakfast room; there was noise from a fan all night, and heavy footsteps started at 6 AM. The front desk clerks were helpful and friendly.2018-03-15"
"Convenient location, and I liked that my car was parked right outside my room. There were gas stations nearby. I highly recommend this motel.2023-10-17"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
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.

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.
