"This hotel was really bare-bones. Had to pay for a 2nd roll of toilet paper, and there was a $25 fee if guests don't take out their own trash. The bed was more like a cot. No cooking utensils, hand towels, or tissue provided. The employees were friendly and helpful.2016-05-12"

"Great location near restaurants and businesses, but many were closed because of Covid-19. We were able to order and pick up meals. The hotel was comfortable and clean, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and answered my questions about what was being done to keep everyone safe. The room was clean, and we enjoyed having a suite.2020-04-16"

"Nice, quiet hotel with friendly employees. The room was clean and looked recently remodeled; there was a sign apologizing, but there was no mess to be seen. Awesome hot breakfast with plenty of variety and seating. We'll definitely stay here again.2019-05-21"
"If you have a pet, this is the place to stay. The room was clean and smelled nice, and I didn't hear any dogs barking. Our room was conveniently on the 1st floor. But the check-in clerk was more interested in answering the phone than helping me, and the other clerk was crabby when we asked for more towels. Nice pool area; the water was warm but salty. Nice, clean whirlpool, but it wasn't warm enough. Great breakfast, and the attendant kept it stocked with fresh food. I recommend this motel for a short stay.2016-01-20"
"The hotel was dirty and horrible. Don't stay here.2018-06-29"
"I was put in 3 different rooms because the first 2 had bedbugs. Don't stay at this hotel.2016-09-15"
"The hotel was generally satisfactory. There were several small roaches and spiders in our room, and it was humid due to the large, indoor water park. Good room amenities, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. If you don't have children and aren't interested in the water park, shop around for another place to stay.2016-06-28"
"Our hotel room was fantastic, but breakfast needed work. I'd stay here again.2016-05-20"
"Great room. The hotel staff was cheerful, helpful, and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to stay here.2015-09-20"
"The sofa and chair were hard and super uncomfortable. The pool area was filled with trash, and the garbage can was overflowing. Someone set a fire in the stairwell, and we had to evacuate at 11:30 PM. Don't stay at this hotel.2020-08-11"
"The hotel room was clean and quiet, but the shower water was lukewarm. No continental breakfast, and I didn't have time to eat at the restaurant.2019-02-04"
"Easy access to the interstate. The hotel room was clean and suited our needs perfectly. Check-in was quick and easy, and the clerks were efficient and friendly. I highly recommend staying here.2016-03-22"
"Not worth the price. The carpet was filthy, and the bathroom was way too small. Run away from this hotel.2018-08-09"
"This hotel was well worth the price. It was easy to access, and the staff was friendly.2016-12-12"
"A reasonably priced hotel with a pleasant atmosphere. Close to the amusement park and casino. The staff was friendly. The vending and ice machines were on the 1st floor, and our room was on the 3rd floor. Had to wait for the luggage cart, but the front desk clerk called when one was available.2016-05-29"
"Hard to enter the driveway from the south due to a divided highway. The hotel was clean and quiet, but the room and especially the bathroom were small. Nice breakfast, but needed more tables in the eating area.2015-08-18"
"This hotel wasn't the greatest, and I didn't think it was worth the price. Looked like updating was underway. The front desk clerk was nice and helpful.2015-07-21"
"There was nowhere to hand used towels. I enjoyed the hotel breakfast.2021-08-01"
"Nice hotel, but the handicap room was just a regular room with hand rails. The bathtub was too high for me to get into.2019-09-16"
"Our room was clean but humid, and the carpet was wet and sticky. The front desk clerk was the only pleasant employee at the hotel. The others completely ignored us. Look for other options.2019-07-08"
"Inexpensive hotel. I had a non-smoking room, but it smelled a bit like smoke. I liked the room layout, but not the long mirror for a headboard. The bed was comfortable, though. The bathroom door had been spattered with something and it hadn't been cleaned. Not a vacation destination, but it met my needs.2015-08-14"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. The fire alarm went off shortly after our arrival, and the front desk clerk said it wouldn't be turned off until the fire department arrived. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable. I'd recommend booking here.2015-06-08"
I have never found a hotel booking site so easy to use. I had my room booked in less than a minute. The hotel where I had planned to stay had an issue. I was panicking. I clicked on HotelGuides' website, got a room, and checked in 15 minutes later.

Lowest price guarantee
We add no fees.
If you don't like your hotel, we'll refund your money.
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.
