"The hotel was supposedly smoke-free, but I smelled cigarette smoke and my room smelled terrible. The bathtub drained slowly, and the shower diverter didn't work properly, so half the water went down the drain and didn't make it to the shower. The towels smelled like smoke. Don't stay here.2018-10-01"

"Walk to Heinz Field. The hotel was expensive. The room was clean, but we had a view of the freeway and heard traffic noise.

"We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, and housekeeping didn't service our room the 2nd day. We returned late at night to full garbage cans and the wet towels still on the floor. The front desk clerk said I must have left the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, which I didn't do, and reluctantly gave me fresh towels. Breakfast was decent.2017-08-27"
"Not worth the price. No soap and not enough towels provided. Our request for a bedsheet change and fresh towels was honored, but our room wasn't cleaned the next day while we were out. No full-length mirror. The iron didn't work, and the ice maker didn't, either. The pool was closed for maintenance. The best part of our hotel stay was the pleasant and helpful employees.2022-09-08"

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.
