"Great motel. The room was nice and kept clean, and the bed was comfortable. Only one coffee cup provided, and we had to ask twice for regular coffee. No whirlpool. Good breakfast. The Mexican restaurant next door wasn't open for dinner, but there were restaurants a few blocks away.2018-09-14"
"Close to Dordt College. The motel was OK, but there were issues getting checked in because the computer system was down. The room was spacious.2018-06-23"
"The 1st night was awful. The mattress sagged, and the pillows were hard. People on the 2nd floor stomped around until 2:45 AM, and the hotel staff did nothing about it. We were moved to a 2nd floor room the next day. The room was quieter, and the mattress was better. Breakfast was tasty, and we liked the cappuccino machine.2018-10-25"

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.
