"Reasonably priced. Nice, clean room. The hotel clerk was helpful and engaging and spent a considerable amount of time helping me choose a good restaurant. The night staff was less than helpful. Entry to the lobby at night required a key card, and the staff ignored me as I stood in the pouring rain trying to get the door open.2018-11-27 "

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. - Diana Ward

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.
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.
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.
