"Cheap hotel, but not a vacation destination. The bedsheets weren't changed. There was no ice available my entire stay. I don't recommend staying here.2016-06-29"
"Close to the beach and attractions, and there were some nice, casual restaurants on the same access road. The rates were reasonable. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the room was large enough for two people. There was an outdoor pool and small dining area off the lobby where the continental breakfast was served.2016-06-07"
"An OK hotel. We enjoyed the location, and the rates were good.2016-05-10"
"My room smelled musty, and there was a poorly repaired hole in the wall behind the door. Several areas needed touch-up paint. One lamp in the corner rocked on its base when turned on. The carpeting at the back entrance of the motel was stained. The front desk clerk and breakfast attendant were pleasant, and the breakfast was adequate. I'd suggest finding another place to stay.2016-01-20"
"An excellent motel. Every employee was so nice and helpful.2020-04-30"
"The motel room felt damp and smelled like mildew. There was no wastebasket in the bedroom. The tea bag was damp, so I didn't use it. The shower curtain rod drooped, resulting in an inability to keep the shower curtain at the ends of the rod. The exhaust fan didn't work. Good variety at breakfast, and the sausages were tasty. Keep looking.2019-08-30"

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.
