"The hotel was in a sketchy area, and there were homeless people on the premises; some even climbed the fence to use the pool. The property was clean, and updates were in progress. The front desk clerk was wonderful.2017-07-18"
"Good experience for the most part. We were there for jury duty, but the hotel clerk couldn't tell us how to get to the federal courthouse. A bar tab was mistakenly put on our bill, but the clerk took care of it and got back to me promptly. We used room service for breakfast, dinner, and dessert. The wait staff was friendly and had great attitudes.2022-01-05"

"Not in a great part of town; there were a lot of sketchy people roaming the area. The hotel was noisy. The room smelled like smoke, and a baby cried all night in the next room. One of the locks on the front door didn't work. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. Don't stay here.2021-07-31"
"I had trouble with the AC, and maintenance had left for the night. No facial tissues provided, and only one tiny bar of soap. The customer service was abominable. The only positive was that there was an IHOP next door.2021-06-17"

"I wasn't satisfied. We had 2 rooms, and both were so hot that we couldn't sleep and weren't able to get the temperature below 82 degrees. Our wake-up call was late. No one answered the front desk phone when I called. The breakfast food was gone by 7 AM, so we had a sleepless night and hungry morning. I don't recommend this hotel.2018-03-21"

"The hotel was clean, and the room had a fridge, stovetop, and plenty of towels. The USB ports on the bedside lamps needed to be updated, and the showerhead needed to be replaced. Well-lit for a late-night check-in. 2019-10-21"

"I took 3 calls to get maintenance to come repair the toilet, but the man did a good job when he finally arrived. The lamp between the beds was missing a lightbulb. The AC was too complicated to use, and the exhaust fan in the bathroom was too noisy. The hotel breakfast was a joke, and the coffee ran out.2018-06-04"

"The motel staff was great, but the room was not. There were a lot of sketchy people in the parking lot. The continental breakfast was just coffee and a store-bought muffin or doughnut. Find a better option.2023-07-24"

"Lovely property with large rooms and many amenities. While the front desk staff was above average, the housekeeping staff was exemplary. I had my hands full while trying to access the pool when a housekeeper offered to help, opening the gate and moving an unbrella so I'd be comfortable. Breakfast was included daily, and dinner was provided on weeknights. Consider this hotel.2015-04-17"

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.
