Great place to stay.2018-11-10"

"I was disappointed. The bedside table wasn't within reach of the bed. We asked for a roll-in shower, and our room only had a bathtub; I wasn't able to shower. The hotel clerk said there was nothing he could do. A group was mistakenly given a key to my room and tried to enter. Breakfast was meager. Don't stay here.2022-08-07"

"Good location. The room was comfortable, and everything worked. We had a fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The carpet felt clean on my bare feet. The fridge worked too well and froze our drinks. No daily housekeeping; you'll have to ask for extra towels and such. No washcloths. Easy check-in and checkout. The hotel staff was friendly. Breakfast was limited but sufficient, and there was a toaster in the lobby.2021-07-23"

"Clean, comfortable room and friendly staff. I called ahead and was told it wouldn't be a problem to park my 14-ft. trailer. The check-in clerk had some problems with the computer saying all rooms were already assigned, but we were able to get a room. When we arrived, there were children running through the lobby from the pool, and my request for a room away from the softball teams was honored. I definitely recommend this hotel.2015-06-10"
"The hotel was easy to find off the interstate, but it was fairly pricey. Housekeeping still hadn't cleaned our room at 5 PM; I had to contact the front desk to get it cleaned. My studio king suite was smaller than I expected. Breakfast wasn't great.2019-04-15"

"There were active and noisy children in the room upstairs; we called the front desk, and within minutes we were moved to a quiet suite on the 4th floor. We slept well and appreciated the so quickly accommodated. I highly recommend this hotel.2019-07-10"
"Great rates. My room was clean, the carpet looked fairly new, and the bathtub and sink seemed updated. Good TV and OK bed. I didn't like having a bedspread because of Covid, and the blanket had holes in it. The window was loose and the screen was torn, so I didn't feel entirely secure. The check-in clerk was personable and made me feel welcome. Don't expect luxury for a budget price.2020-08-15"

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.
