"This hotel is well worth a stay. The room was nice, and the staff was friendly.2022-08-28"
"There was hair in one of the beds, so we didn't use it but left the covers down so the sheets would be changed. I also spilled a soda. When we returned, the spill hadn't been cleaned up, and the bedsheets hadn't been changed. The front desk clerk was helpful in finding us a 1st floor room since my wife was using a cane.2020-06-15"

"The hotel was noisy, and my room was right by the staircase. There was also noise from the room upstairs. The TV didn't work, so I had to unplug it and plug it in again to re-set it. The desk was wobbly, and the chair and closet door were broken. The lamp outlets didn't work. I was sorry I chose to stay here.2022-04-30"

"We had a disappointing stay at this motel. Didn't look like online photos. We were greeted in the parking lot by patrons of the adjoining bar. Our room had a view of garbage and discarded mattresses. The toilet overflowed; a maintenance worker came to plunge it, but left toilet water on the seat. We were offered a room in the exterior addition, but asked for a refund instead. The clerk was rude but complied. Stay away from this place.2015-08-27"

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.
