"This hotel was a real home away from home. It was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating and friendly. The free breakfast was a great morning send-off. Don't pass this place up; you won't find a better hotel for the price.2021-04-08"
"The hotel was dated, and the exterior and grounds needed cleaning. Good TV. The bed and fridge were clean. The bathtub was grimy. The toilet ran all night, and the handle was loose. No restaurants or bars nearby. If aesthetics bother you, don't stay here.2022-02-26"

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.
