"The hotel smelled like cigarettes. The suite was perfect for a good stay, and had a full kitchen. Unfortunately, it wasn't clean. The trash can was full, and there was hair on the towels. There was old food in the fridge. The staff was rude.2022-08-08"
"A broken dresser door in the room almost fell on my foot. The hotel clerk was pleasant.2019-08-15"

"Check-in at this hotel is a pain even though we stay regularly.2023-09-29"
"Check-in was OK, but there was some confusion about a security deposit. The hotel room was freezing, and we found a baby gecko in the bathroom. I saw 2 roaches in there at night, one on the vanity counter approaching my toothbrush. It was unnerving to say the least.2022-11-10"
"Every employee was helpful, professional, and personable. I felt like I was at a family gathering. I highly recommend this hotel if you want a pleasant, easy stay.2022-10-06"
"The hotel was clean. Great service, and I was accommodated with an early check-in. The pool hadn't been skimmed, so I swam with mulch and leaves. Ask for a pool-side room and you'll get a nice patio.2022-06-30"
"Good location. Spacious room with high ceilings. The hotel staff was helpful with an early check-in. I'd stay here again.2015-12-15"
"I was disappointed that the hotel park and fly was only free for 7 days, and then it cost $5 per day.2018-05-30"
"Convenient to the airport, and within walking distance of a bar and restaurant where you can sit outdoors. The room was clean and everything worked. Beautiful view of the bay. We arrived late in the evening, and the hotel clerk guided us across the parking lot to a cool spot for drinks and dinner. I'd stay again.2015-04-12"
"Easy to access and close to shops. The hotel was nice and quiet, but not cleaning rooms each day is getting old.2021-11-03"
"I've stayed at this hotel twice; it's super nice, and the rooms are great. The beds are comfortable, and the rainhead showers are nice.2021-10-25"
"The bed was heavenly, and there were plenty of electrical outlets. There was a bar and bistro. I was greeted nicely by the hotel clerks. My grandson asked about the pool, and the clerk took us to see it and explained about the salt water and towels. It was a delight to stay here.2019-07-03"
"Good stay with no problems. Nice atmosphere.2021-07-03"
"The hotel staff provided excellent service and treated us like VIPs; we felt appreciated and respected.2019-10-03"
"I stayed during the hurricane, and the power was out when I arrived. The employees were handing out flashlights. The power was back on when I returned from dinner. The hotel was nice and had beautiful views of the bay. Pleasant check-in. The bartender wasn't the most friendly guy, and at closing time the staff turned on bright lights so we couldn't even enjoy relaxing in the lobby.2016-10-10"
"A fantastic experience from check-in to checkout. Great value and convenient to the airport, but I didn't hear plane noise. The hotel was clean, and the staff made me feel welcome. No on-site restaurant, but there was a restaurant across the street that also provoided room service.2019-10-25"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Stay here.2018-08-13"

"There was no one at the front desk when we left in the morning, so we just left the keys on the desk.2019-03-27"
"Convenient to the airport. I was pleased with the spacious, clean room, but I wasn't impressed with the complimentary breakfast. More parking would've been nice, too. Other than that, it's a great place to stay.2018-04-20"
"We were shocked at how depressing the room was. There was no color whatsoever. The bed didn't have a skirt or comforter. The carpet had rough edges that were a tripping hazard, and the lock on the room door was upside-down. The front desk clerk didn't speak English well, making communication stressful. Find a different hotel.2023-03-22"
"Not a good hotel stay this time. The power partially went out at 6 PM and was still out when we checked out the next day. We couldn't use the TV or WiFi, and only one light worked. The emergency lights in the stairwell didn't work. No coffee or breakfast available. Good place to stay when the power is on.2022-10-06"

"I had a terrible stay at this hotel. There was no blanket or comforter on the bed, and the blanket in the closet was too small. The staff did provide a 2nd blanket the next day. The heater didn't adequately warm the room, and the WiFi kept disconnecting. No in-room coffee. The hallway doors were propped open, letting in cigarette smoke, and there were ducks wandering around the grounds leaving waste. Don't stay here.2020-02-14"

"We had a pleasant hotel stay. We had an adjoining room and were talking normally when we got yelled out, so we quit talking and went to bed. 2019-01-28"

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.
