"A terrible experience. The hotel floors and stairs were dirty. No smoke detector in my room. No mattress pad, and there was dried blood on the blanket. The microwave was rusty. No hand towels, and not enough other towels for 2 people. The exterior door wasn't secure. No breakfast, and no tea was available. I didn't feel safe here. Stay somewhere else.2023-10-17"

"The hotel had an informal, home-town atmosphere. My room was truly non-smoking, and my kitten was welcomed and was also comfortable. The staff was helpful and informative. Try it; you'll like it.2018-12-05"
"Everything was fine, but the hotel was a quirky place. It was clean but really dated, but the rates were quite reasonable. The bathroom sink was cracked. Great set-up with the rooms overlooking the pool. We liked it here.2018-11-26"
"Great location, but the hotel needed some upgrading. The hallway smelled like smoke, and I had a non-smoking room.2015-10-08"
"Great location. The showerhead was loose, and the key card reader for one entrance was falling off the door. Excellent hotel staff.2015-09-29"
"Nice hotel near restaurants and Allegheny College. When I arrived, the room was already charged to my card, so I wasn't able to pay cash as I'd intended.2023-10-02"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
