"Not a family hotel. The clientele made us uncomfortable. No good luggage carts. Stay away.2023-05-30"
"Located in a wonderful, quiet, lush setting. Close to Florida Fairgrounds. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. Nice pool area. Limited menu at the on-site restaurant, and the bar was small. Great place to stay if you're going to a concert at the ampitheater.2016-06-02"
"The hotel staff was pleasant and kind, but I didn't like having to pay for breakfast.2016-03-10"

"The hotel was nice. I'll stay here again.2021-03-22"
"The TV in my hotel room didn't work. I was upgraded to a suite, which was better, but it was right by the elevators, and the view was of an AC unit on the roof. I've stayed here a number of times and always have an awesome stay. No dinner at the restaurant because of Covid, but pub food was available in the lounge. The breakfast wasn't worth the $10 price.2021-02-21"
"The hotel badly needed updating. No housekeeping unless we asked for it before 11 AM. No Internet access on our floor, and the 3rd floor had a foul smell. We moved to another floor, but the thermostat didn't work and we had to operate the AC manually. The only positive was the kind hotel clerks. Breakfast was in a to-go bag. Don't stay here.2022-04-11"
"There was some mold in the bathroom, and there was no grab bar in the shower. The hotel clerks were pleasant and most helpful.2021-02-12"
"This hotel was perfect for us and our little dog. Book it.2020-07-29"
"Easy access to the casino, but a bit off the beaten path. The hotel was older, but it was clean and had been recently remodeled. It was just what we needed, a good, clean place to sleep. Our loft unit had plenty of space. There was a full bath and half bath downstairs, and a small balcony with 2 chairs and a table. The small kitchen area had a fridge, coffee maker, and small table with chairs. The continental breakfast didn't have hot selections except packaged oatmeal. No elevator.2024-01-22"

"Not a 5-star hotel, but it was a pretty good value. Close to restaurants, shops, and theme parks. Because of the Covid-19 outbreak, staffing was minimal and there was no sit-down breakfast. The bench by the TV had obvious stains on it, as did the chair in the room. The bed was OK. The front desk clerks were nice, welcoming, and accommodating. A bagged breakfast was provided.2020-03-26"

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.
