"The room had no laundry bag, no wash cloths, and no bag for the ice bucket. No Internet hookup. The door was dirty, and didn't shut well. The pillows were thin. The bathtub was rusty and not that clean. No sit-down breakfast was provided; instead, I was given a bag with water and a banana. Orange juice and coffee were available. Don't stay at this motel.2020-10-02"

"Good rates. Our room wasn't cleaned, and we didn't get fresh towels or enough towels. The staff wasn't happy to be there, and it came across loud and clear. The parking lot was being paved during the holiday weekend. Avoid adjoining rooms, or just find another hotel.2015-07-09"

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.
