"Not enough pillows provided. The bathroom was small. The hotel didn't have an elevator.2021-07-07"
"The hotel room looked recently remodeled. The bed was hard, but I was still able to sleep. Good place for an overnight stay.2017-11-29"
"The hotel was in a quiet area but close to things we wanted to visit. If you're looking for a peaceful, out-of-the-way vacation, this is a good place to stay, but it's not centrally located.2016-08-01"
"The motel room was great, and had been remodeled since my last stay. The ceramic floors were nice, and the AC worked well and was whisper-quiet. Needed a blanket for the bed, though. I didn't hear any noise outside until the morning, when the people next door started fighting. Great staff. Ask for a room away from the interstate and highway.2023-06-05"
"The motel room reeked, and the carpet was still wet from being cleaned. The bathroom was dirty and only 1 set of towels was provided. We complained and were moved to another room, meaning it took twice as long to get settled. Cross this one off your list.2017-10-14"
"The hotel room was nice and clean, and the front desk clerks provided good service. Decent breakfast.2016-12-30"

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.
