"The hotel was near a Walmart, and there were several restaurants within walking distance. Our room was clean and adequate; the only complaint was that the bathroom door didn't close properly and wouldn't lock, so it wouldn't stay shut. Breakfast was all carbs. A basic place, but it's fine for an overnight stay.2023-10-12"
"An OK place, but it was older and needed updating and repairs. The bed blanket had a cigarette burn, though the hotel was smoke-free. The wallboard by the bathtub was off by a bit, and the shower curtain was moldy. It took a bit of work to adjust the water temperature. Breakfast was fine, and the coffee was excellent. Fine for a short stay.2023-05-17"

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.
