"The hotel was clean and modern, and had special touches to make it unique and comfortable. There was a bowl of water and a bowl of dog treats at the entrance. The room was spacious and had plenty of storage space. The check-in clerks were exceptionally nice and went out of their way to be hospitable. The chairs by the pool were comfortable. We can't wait to stay here again.2022-01-04"

"Convenient, but not a great value. The room was decent, but the bed was uncomfortable and the carpet needed vacuuming. No hot water for showers. I was moved to another room. The TV in the sitting area didn't work, so I sat at the desk and watched the TV in the bedroom. The hotel clerks were really nice and helpful, and resolved any problem I had. 2022-08-07"

"Superb hotel room, and the dining staff was exceptional. No one directed us to the elevator closest to our room, so we ended up on an elevator far from our room. Bring a bathing suit.2015-07-21"
"Good-sized hotel room and bathroom. No microwave in the room.2015-07-09"
"TV didn't work, and some of the lights didn't, either. No one answered the phone when I called for room service; I called the front desk and was transferred to the restaurant. My food order was taken and lost. I called 90 minutes later and was told they had lost my room number. Wouldn't stay at this hotel again.2015-02-10"

"Wonderful location near everything. The hotel was nice and clean. We had a great stay.2021-06-11"
"I had a comfortable hotel stay. The breakfast buffet was great.2018-08-05"
"Nice, new hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. Our room was on the highway side, so we heard a lot of traffic noise. Ask for a room on the other side of the building.2018-02-13"
"The hotel was more geared toward corporate meetings than individual guests. The room was spacious and clean. It wasn't serviced during our 3-night stay, but it wasn't a big problem for us. I was unhappy with the lack of complimentary coffee, and breakfast was expensive. Parking was convenient.2015-09-21"
"We walked in, looked at our room, and immediately walked out. It was so filthy I didn't want to touch anything. We went to the front desk to let the clerk know we weren't staying, but there was no one there. After waiting for 10 minutes, we just left. Don't stay at this hotel.2019-10-08"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
