"There was no staff at the hotel from 6-10 PM. The lights in my room came on automatically 3 times between 1:15-3 AM until I could figure out how to get them to stay off. I used the phone in the lobby to check out, but it was just a recording with no helpful information. I slid my keys under the desk window and left. Don't stay here.2021-12-19"

"We're seniors and the motel had no elevator, but we were given a room on the 2nd floor. A nice housekeeper saw us struggling with our luggage and offered to help. The lamp shades weren't held in place and fell off if we accidentally bumped them. No on/off switches on the bedside lights, and no ashtrays in our smoking room. The only true bright spots were the kind housekeeper and evening clerk. Don't stay here.2020-09-04"
"Great hotel with friendly personnel. Try the IHOP in the parking lot.2020-06-16"
"The room and bathroom lighting were poor, and I couldn't operate the barn door for the bathroom; it was too heavy and had a sharp handle. The window shades were also difficult to use. We could smell food outside our room. Stay at another hotel.2019-10-27"

"The motel was disgusting. I left after 5 minutes. Find another place to stay.2020-05-26"
"Decent motel room. The staff was friendly, but there were strange people lurking outside, and there seemed to be people sleeping in the hallways. The roof was leaking in various places, and there were buckets catching the water. Don't recommend.2015-05-31"
"It was raining when we arrived at the motel, and there were 5-gallon buckets in the hallway catching water. The nightstand in my non-smoking room had cigarette burns. No elevator, and the stairway railing was broken; a large, exposed screw was pointing upwards. At least the coffee at breakfast was good. Keep looking.2015-05-21"

"The motel rates were good, and the room was clean.2018-11-07"
"There was a lot of traffic and train noise, though the motel was clean and I loved how helpful the front desk clerks were. My father was in the hospital, and they did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Ask for a street away from the noise.2018-09-04"

"The rates were low. I had to navigate 3 police cars at the hotel entrance when I arrived. Looked clean, but the room and bed smelled like body odor. The bedsheets were scratchy, and the slippery bedspread kept falling off the bed. Slow Internet connection. The kitchenette wasn't stocked, so I had to ask for every little thing I needed. No toilet paper or trash can in the bathroom, so I had to ask for those, too. I didn't feel safe and didn't enjoy my stay.2017-04-08"
"The hotel was fairly comfortable and clean, though I saw a few spiders and ants. Ask for a room on the top floor and away from exit doors so you don't have to listen to people walking around and going in and out all the time. Good experience.2015-08-30"

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.
