"Easy to find right off the interstate. Close to gas stations and nice restaurants. The smoke detector battery was low, and the detector started beeping at 1:45 AM. Otherwise, it was a good motel stay.2015-07-01"

"The hotel was just off Highway 169, but it was quiet and so clean. The room was spacious and had a fridge, microwave, ironing board, and plenty of room to hang up clothes. The staff was helpful with suggestions about what to see, including the Jolly Green Giant. Breakfast was delicious and nicely laid out. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.2019-05-27"

"Good rates. The room was clean and secure but dusty. Had an iron and ironing board. The mattress sagged, and I didn't sleep well. Clean bathroom with good towels. The motel lobby looked clean but smelled like mold, and the entire place needed fresh paint and wall repairs. The front desk clerks were quiet and didn't welcome us. There were weeds all over the grounds. The doors needed painting. The breakfast room was clean and well-stocked.2016-07-19"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
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.
