"The motel room was filthy and had flies. The mirrors had water spots, and there were fingerprints on the door frames. The walls needed cleaning. Stay somewhere else.2020-08-28"
"Good rates. The phone in the room didn't work. The mattress cover and bedsheets were soiled, so I had to ask for replacements. The bathroom door didn't close properly for privacy. The coffee at breakfast was terrible, so we ate elsewhere. I don't recommend this motel.2019-09-04"
"Our motel room was a pleasant surprise. It was clean, and the staff was friendly.2019-04-25"
"The motel needed better soundproofing; I could hear the conversation in the adjacent room. The TV wouldn't work after 10 PM. The bed wasn't comfortable, and I could feel the springs. The towels were extremely small. Don't stay here.2016-03-22"
"This motel was disgusting. Don't stay here.2015-05-21"

"The rates were affordable. The hotel room wasn't clean, and the comforter was stained. There was hair in the bathroom. We asked for a room change, but the 2nd room had a musty smell. The employees weren't rude, but they weren't overly friendly, either. The breakfast buffet was small but nice.2017-11-09"
"The hotel was quiet, which we appreciated. One of our rooms was OK, but it wasn't that clean. There was dust in the corners, and hair in the bathroom. The 2nd room had a terrible moldy smell. The carpet was dirty, and the comforter was stained. The staff wasn't that cordial. Breakfast was good and had a nice variety, and fruit was available all day. Pay more and stay somewhere cleaner.2017-11-07"
"Nice decor and good beds. The fridge in our room was dirty and had food in it. The hotel clerk was condescending and didn't give clear directions to our room, which we had trouble finding. No apology; I was just told that a housekeeper would be up after a break. No trash bags in the trash cans. I ended up wiping down everything myself. Because of the lack of cleanliness and the clerk's attitude, we didn't have a comfortable stay.2021-04-04"

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.
