"The rates were fair, but the motel room wasn't clean. The night clerk was the same one we had when we stayed last year; she's always courteous and friendly. I wasn't impressed with the grass cutting at 9 AM.2016-07-12"
"Easy to access from the interstate. The motel didn't look inviting, but it was just what we expected and worked for our needs. We arrived early, and the clerk found us a room immediately. He also gave us excellent directions and restaurants suggestions. The room was basic, but the bed was comfortable and the fridge worked well. No coffee maker or tissue. We felt safe. The staff was helpful. We left our door ajar once while we were in the room, and the manager knocked just to see if we were in. Breakfast was toast, bagels, and cereal. We were pleased.2015-09-25"
"Nice motel room, just ignore the surroundings. I'd stay again.2015-05-22"

"Our room keys wouldn't work. We finally got in the room to find that it smelled like smoke and the window didn't open. Got a new room, and our keys didn't work for that room either. The safe didn't work. The shower water was scalding at first. Both the front desk clerks were rude. The continental breakfast was good. Don't recommend this hotel.2015-09-28"

"The hotel room wasn't at all clean. Breakfast was horrible. I don't recommend staying here.2016-09-23"
"Our hotel room was never cleaned; the front desk clerk gave us trash bags and told us to put the garbage outside our door. The 1st coffee pot didn't work, and neither did the replacement. Our request for an extra chair was denied. The window was filthy.2016-07-12"
"Clean, quiet hotel room. Everything was in good working order. The employees were friendly. I had a great experience and would stay here again.2016-05-23"
"Great value, but the closet in the my hotel room had an unwaorkably narrow opening. I asked for another room, but it had the same problem. 2020-03-15"
"Nice place to stay. Pretty easy to access off the I-55 exit on the adjacent service room. The hotel and room looked clean, and the fridge and microwave were clean and looked new. The personnel I encountered were polite. It was quiet and peaceful, which was great. Quick check-in and checkout. No ice machine on the 3rd floor, but the one on the 1st floor was close to the elevator. The lobby door was locked late at night. I definitely recommend staying here.2020-02-08"
"My hotel stay went quite well. The room was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable.

The breakfast area was clean, and the food was good.2019-07-16"

I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
