"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the location was easy to access. Stay here.2021-11-16"
"The hotel was dated and smelled like smoke and mold. The property hosted a cigar crawl, so the entire place smelled like cigars. There was an ashtray in our "non-smoking" room. The hair dryer and ice machine on our floor didn't work. No key card reader on the exit door nearest our room. Didn't get all the available TV channels. The AC operated randomly, as did the elevator. Avoid this place at all cost.2016-06-15"
"Good location and reasonable rates. The hotel staff provided competent service.2016-04-30"
"A terrible experience. The hotel floors and stairs were dirty. No smoke detector in my room. No mattress pad, and there was dried blood on the blanket. The microwave was rusty. No hand towels, and not enough other towels for 2 people. The exterior door wasn't secure. No breakfast, and no tea was available. I didn't feel safe here. Stay somewhere else.2023-10-17"

"A bit pricey, but the hotel room was nice, spacious, clean, and smoke-free. The beds were large and comfortable, with lots of pillows. The sofa bed wasn't at all comfortable, but the front desk clerk gave me extra blankets to help cushion it. Nice employees. Breakfast was good.2019-07-08"

"Everything was fine, but the hotel was a quirky place. It was clean but really dated, but the rates were quite reasonable. The bathroom sink was cracked. Great set-up with the rooms overlooking the pool. We liked it here.2018-11-26"

"A satisfactory hotel stay. Give it a try.2017-04-04"
"The hotel was close to the interstate, and the rates were good. The room was super clean, and it was easy to control the temperature. The bed was creaky and too soft, though, and the lip of the shower was too low so water flooded the bathroom. Breakfast could've been better.2022-10-22"
"Nice hotel for the price. I've stayed here before, and the entrance doors were new and secure. The hotel clerk was friendly. A basic breakfast was offered. Close to restaurants and Allegheny College. There was a Dunkin Donuts across the street, and a McDonald's 5 minutes away.2021-05-24"
"Excellent location. The hotel needs to secure doors to the outside; they were all broken and left open. The room was basic. Pleasant front desk staff.2021-03-19"

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.
