"This hotel is a great choice. It's about equal distance from Ohio River activities and Ark Encounter. The rates were reasonable, and the hotel was comfortable and secure. The TV in the room was large, but there were limited free channels. The beds were comfortable but quite high for children and the elderly. We were able to check-in by phone. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent. Limited restaurant choices at the Richwood exit, but there was a sports bar with good food next door.2022-08-29"
"The room looked nice and was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The pool heater didn't work during our 4-day stay, and the whirlpool wasn't warm enough and the jets didn't work. Good hot breakfast, though some selections were better than others. There was a lot of construction going on at the hotel and exit when we stayed.2021-04-14"

"The hotel room was comfortable and clean, and the bed had excellent pillows. The breakfast buffet wasn't worth the price; the food was cold, and there weren't many choices.2023-12-13"
"The motel room was clean. The bed was comfortable, but the bedspread needed to be replaced. The curtains didn't shut all the way. Even though the highway was nearby, the noise didn't bother us. Great walk-in shower and water pressure, but not enough towels provided. Nice staff. We enjoyed our stay.2022-02-26"
"My non-smoking room smelled like smoke, and there were ashes on the bathroom counter. The room was dirty, and there were holes in the walls. There was hair in the bedsheets and the shower, and the towel rack was falling off the wall. The staff didn't care if I was there or not. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Find another motel.2017-10-28"

"A nice hotel, but we arrived at 10:30 PM and had to wait to check in.2017-08-24"

HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.
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.
