"The hotel room was clean and spacious and had all the comforts of home. The bathroom floor was slippery after taking a shower. Excellent, professional personnel. The pool room was heated, but the water wasn't warm enough. Decent breakfast. The only issue we had was that our key cards stopped working after the 1st night, but it was taken care of promptly. 2017-07-04"

"The TV didn't work, and I had to call twice before being told to come downstairs to get a key for another room. I asked for a free breakfast as compensation, but was told the manager was off duty and had to approve it. Expect poor service at this hotel.2019-10-29"

"This is a budget-friendly hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to find a spacious, relatively quiet room with a comfortable bed and small fridge and microwave. The twoels were thin, and amenities were limited, but it was clean and had the basics. The front desk clerk was friendly, and immediately replaced a burned-out lightbulb. She handled breakfast the next day and was kind and pleasant. Breakfast included eggs, waffles, yogurt, cereals, and pastries.2023-11-13"

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.
