"The hotel was super clean and quiet. The staff was friendly, and the pool area was nice. Breakfast needed improvement, though, and there was no ice machine on the 2nd floor. It snowed overnight, and the parking lot had been cleared in the morning. Great place to stay.2019-03-13"

"Located away from the city and congestion. We were pleased with the hotel room and enjoyed the balcony. The linens were top-notch. The only negative was that the front desk clerk wasn't wearing a mask. I highly recommend staying here.2020-06-10"
"A lovely hotel. The lobby was clean and attractive, and so was the room. The mattress was too soft for my taste, though, and the bedspread was thin. I was scratching all night. Great flat-screen TV with a variety of channels. Clan bathroom, but the shower water was brown at first, so I had to let it run a bit. The staff was welcoming, and the maintenance man was so helpful and kind. Lovely pool. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast; no healthy options due to Covid.2021-01-02"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
