"Good location. The hotel room was nice, but the 1st floor was like a basement. Breakfast wasn't that good. No elevator, and the luggage cart was being used by staff when I was leaving.2015-05-24"
"The power was off at the motel, so I was given a flashlight at check-in. At least there was hot water.2019-10-31"

"Hard to find until locals told us it was behind the Smash Burger. Our hotel room was comfortable and nicely appointed. Our request for a quiet, 1st floor room was honored and we were offered a $5 voucher for breakfast. We appreciated having an on-site restaurant; the steaks were delicious, but the vegetables were cold and we had to send them back to be warmed up. Breakfast was great, with made-to-order omelets and other hot selections. I recommend staying here.2016-12-05"
"The motel was close to the freeway, so I heard some traffic noise. Nicely decorated room with a comfortable bed, but the heater was loud. The room had a microwave and fridge. The front desk clerk was friendly. Horrible breakfast with no healthy options; didn't like the disposable dishes, either. Overall, this is a convenient budget option.2017-02-15"

"Quiet location surrounded by mountain views. The hotel was clean and looked new, and the front desk clerks and housekeepers were friendly. No breakfast because of the coronavirus, but breakfast bars were available.2020-06-16"
"Close to the lake, and the grounds were nice. The hotel was old and smelled musty. The room was humid, and the carpet needed to be replaced. The trees blocked my view of the lake. I probably wouldn't stay here again.2016-04-16"

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.
