"The motel was OK, and the rates were low. The carpet in the room needed cleaning, and 3 of the 4 lampshades were cracked. The bathroom was clean. The pool was closed, and the grounds needed care.2021-06-10"

"The motel was adequate, but just expect the basics. The electronics weren't high-tech. Friendly staff, and they provided good restaurant recommendations.2016-09-29"
"Good value. The motel was set back from the road, so it was quiet at night. The room was quite clean, and even though it was a smoking room, it didn't smell like an ashtray. The bed was firm and had a selection of pillows. Plenty of outlets available. The bathroom looked newly renovated. The toilet flushed well, and we never ran out of hot water. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low. The bathroom window was dirty and had paint on it, but was nice for cross-ventilation. A pleasant experience. Try it, you'll like it.2016-05-24"

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.
