"Good value. The room was nice and clean, but the carpet was ugly. The motel clerk was cordial. There was a noisy party at night, but the staff took care of it. We've stayed at far worse places that cost a lot more.2018-04-03"
"Located outside the downtown core, but well worth the extra drive. The motel was modestly priced, pleasant, clean, and well-maintained. The employees were helpful. I was especially pleased with the extensive breakfast bar and availability from 6-10 AM. Enjoyed the indoor pool and small workout room. I'll be back.2017-03-03"

"The hotel was shamefully understaffed, but the few employees on duty were polite and helpful. The room overlooked a lighted entrance, but didn't have blackout drapes. The hallway floors were old and run-down. Miniscule restaurant with mediocre food and only one server. OK for a 1-night stay.2020-03-04"
"I had a good overnight stay. The hotel staff was nice.2019-06-27"
"The hotel sign was hidden behind trees and barely visible from the road. The bed comforter was plain and wrinkled, and the pillows needed to be replaced. The bedroom door was hard to open due to the humidity. Lots of selection at the hot breakfast.2017-08-25"
"The bedsheets didn't fit the queen beds and kept coming off. There was a large crack in the mirror. Only decaf coffee provided in the room; when I asked for caffeinated coffee, I was told they didn't have any. Limited menu at breakfast, and the only hot item was waffles. OK hotel for a short stay.2022-06-28"

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.
