"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"

"We had to wait an hour before we could check in, but we got a discount for the inconvenience. The room was fine, and the hotel staff was courteous. Good place to stay.2015-09-10"
"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"
"The motel was dirty. The bedsheets had burn holes, and the pillows were bad. The TV was small. Not much selection at breakfast. Don't stay here; it's not worth the price.2016-02-03"
"Dirty motel with stained carpeting. The door lock was broken, and the AC didn't work. The walls needed cleaning, and there was hair in the bathtub. We'll never stay again.2015-09-12"
"The motel was OK, but seemed overpriced. It was hard to enter and exit the property.2023-08-06"
"We didn't get a 1st floor room as requested. We turned on the heater when we got to our room, and the cover fell off. No coffee in the lobby because the coffee maker was out of service and the clerk didn't know how to operate it. There was nowhere around the motel to walk the dog, despite a $200 refundable deposit. Find a different place to stay.2023-04-18"

"Easy access to the interstate and restaurants. The hotel was quiet, and the room was clean and well-appointed. The bed was comfortable, and the bedding was clean and smelled fresh.

"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.

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"
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.
