"Great motel room and easy check-in. A fuse blew right before we went to bed, so we had to move the lamp. We just needed to sleep, so it was OK.2018-01-31"
"The AC in the 1st room didn't work, so we had to move to another room. Unsupervised children made it impossible for us to enjoy the pool, though there was a sign that children had to be supervised. Loud kids in surrounding rooms kept us awake the last night of our stay. There were bugs and dirt in the ice from the ice machine. A disgusting motel; don't stay here.2017-07-27"
"Clean hotel with wonderful personnel. I didn't love the breakfast, but do recommend staying here.2016-02-19"
"The room was spacious and clean but dated. The beds were a bit creaky, but the linens were fresh. I loved the coffee maker in the room and the coffee bar downstairs. Quick check-in and checkout, and I was pleasantly surprised by a call from the hotel clerk to make sure everything was OK. The hallways felt claustrophobic and needed updating, and the carpet in the elevator was disgusting. Still, this is a perfectly good choice for people visiting Bucknell.2015-09-29"

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.
