"The hotel room was small, had flies, and the furniture was dusty. The sink didn't drain well. My friends left some items behind, and we were never contacted about them; we were told the housekeeper threw them away. On a positive note, breakfast was good, hot, and fresh, and the attendant kept the eating area clean. The lobby was clean, too.2021-06-22"
"The hotel room was small, and the bathroom was tiny. There was dust all over the lamps, and the key card only worked half the time. At least the beds were made and the floor was vacuumed. I wouldn't stay here again.2017-06-27"
"The hotel room was comfortable. Good lighting and AC, but the air smelled a little musty. Comfortable bed with a nice selection of pillows. Plenty of towels and wash cloths provided. The wireless Internet was fast. OK breakfast, but the hot food wasn't hot enough. 2017-04-15"
"The toilet in the 1st room didn't work, so we were moved to another room. The fridge in the 2nd room was so noisy that we unplugged it. The heater malfunctioned, too, but we were able to open the window to cool down the room. The hotel manager did discount our bill.2022-11-18"
"The AC needed to be cleaned; it blew out fine dirt on the bed closest to it.2018-09-17"
"The room had a horrible, musty odor, and didn't have enough electrical outlets. The hair dryer didn't work. There was a nasty old recliner at the bottom of the stairs. The exterior door didn't lock. Don't stay at this motel.2017-05-09"
"Good value. A nice hotel with pleasant, accommodating personnel. The WiFi didn't work well.2018-05-15"
"We had a restful stay and got our money's worth. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and all the employees were nice. We've stayed at this hotel twice and give it two thumbs up.2017-11-08"
"The motel was fine. The microwave wasn't plugged in when we arrived. No ice bucket in the room. Limited towels provided. The bed was decent enough. Friendly staff.2015-05-19"

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.
