"The motel was reasonably priced and close to CSUMB. The room was nice and comfortable, but the toilet ran all night. Easy check-in, and we appreciated the cookies. The continental breakfast was mostly carbs and sweets.2018-02-19"

"The heater didn't work, and water got all over the bathroom floor even with the shower curtain closed. Not the best motel stay.2017-01-19"
"Great location. This is a typical upscale hotel for the area. The shower in our room could've been in better condition. Be sure to take advantage of the fireplace and water access. The staff was exceptionally professional, attentive, and courteous. The only issue was returning to our room and finding pieces of partially-eaten fruit on the hallway floor, but it was removed by the time we left in the morning.2017-07-13"

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.
