"Located in a rough part of town, but it was close to JFK Airport, and there was a gas station a block away. The hotel was clean. I didn't like the temperature control; no outside air. 2 sensor lights in the room drove me crazy, and I could hear people talking and smoking near my window. Pleasant check-in.

"Someone tried to open our room door and kept knocking at 7 AM, which woke us up. No ice machine on our floor; we had to go back down to the hotel lobby to get ice. We didn't realize that parking was valet-only, and drove around the block for 20 minutes trying to find on-street parking.2019-10-01"

"Excellent service. This hotel is worth a stay.2016-03-28"
"The hotel was easy to find, but we had to call for directions to the parking lot since it was on the 2nd level of the building. Our room was quiet but very small, and the queen beds were more like full-sized beds. The bathroom was so small it was hard to close the door; the sink was located outside the bathroom, and there wasn't enough counter space. On a positive note, the continental breakfast was good and there were lots of restaurants nearby. Coffee was always available in the lobby.2018-11-13"

"I enjoyed the pet friendly atmosphere. The hotel room was nice, clean, and comfortable, but the heater was noisy. Housekeeping didn't come until after 3 PM the 2nd day of my stay. Good concierge staff and good breakfast.2019-02-23"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
