"This is the worst motel I've ever stayed in. The room was run-down and had mold that had been painted over. The water pressure was extremely low. There was no chair on the door, and I had to lift the door up to close it. 3 of the lightbulbs were burned out. Pass on this one.2020-08-29"
"My hotel room wasn't serviced during my stay; I had to go to the front desk for clean towels, though a housekeeper did remove the used towels. Stay here if you just need a pet-friendly room.2016-12-02"
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.
