"The rooms were better than expected, and we got rooms next to each other without having to ask. Not enough toiletries provided. Awesome check-in clerk. At checkout, I had to call on the phone to get a hotel clerk to come to the desk, and the clerk wasn't able to print out a detailed receipt for me. Breakfast was a bit sparse. Otherwise, the hotel was clean and I had a good stay.2015-05-12"
"The motel was overpriced. The carpet in the room was so dirty that it turned my feet black, and the bathroom was filthy. The only positive was that the bed was comfortable. The pool was tiny and dirty, and the breakfast bar was horrible. Stay away.2017-08-25"

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.
