"The bed was comfortable, and I loved the white bedding. The towels were also white and were beautifully folded. No bathtub, just a shower. I did hear other guests slamming doors and dragging chairs around upstairs. Ask for a room away from the noisy highway side of the hotel.2020-08-20"
"The hotel room was immaculate, and all the employees were gracious and helpful. The front desk clerk was a true professional.2016-11-15"

"Our hotel room was right next to the highway, and the noise was awful; it kept us awake all night. 2016-07-25"
"Easy check-in and checkout, and the hotel clerks were nice. I was allowed a late checkout. Nice pool. The parking lot filled up on top, but there was more parking underground, along with an elevator.2015-04-15"
"I got a handicap room I didn't request. The hotel room was outdated, and the mattress was lumpy and sagged. Not the usual Marriott quality.2015-10-27"
"The hotel was quiet, despite being close to the road. Don't expect anything fancy or up-to-date, though. The room needed remodeling. The ceiling was patched and peeling in spots, and the bed hardly had any springs. The water in the handicap shower went all over the floor. I had to wait 10 minutes for a clerk to come to the desk to check me in. Breakfast was good.2023-11-14"

"Not a good hotel. The room was dirty. Don't stay here.2019-07-17"
"The quality of the hotel staff stood out. Check-in was quick and easy, and a young man helped us with our key card for the elevator, then helped us get our luggage to the room. He refused to accept a tip. The restaurant staff couldn't have been more accommodating; we were impressed with how polite and efficient they were. Nice breakfast, too. Book it.2024-01-21"
"A wonderful hotel. I loved the pool and on-site restaurant. Stay on the top floor for an amazing view at night.2018-04-10"
"The hotel room was spacious and clean. No coffee maker, but it had a fridge and microwave. We were given vouchers for breakfast; it was fantastic and available until 10 AM. I recommend staying here.2017-12-23"

"Terrible location. No information in the room about the TV, the area, or local restaurants. The hotel exterior was dirty, and the pool was closed but filthy. Breakfast was a muffin, granola bar, and an apple. The beverage was a bottle of water. I couldn't wait to leave.2021-08-07"

"I wasn't happy that I was given a handicap room, which I didn't request. The room was large and had a kitchenette. No carpeting. Everything was clean. The bathroom wasn't great. The hotel clerk was pleasant, and there was a large grassy area where I could walk my dog. The area wasn't the best, though, and there was a homeless person sleeping on the hotel grounds. Breakfast was just coffee and a muffin, but there were lots of restaurants within walking distance. If you're a woman traveling alone, you might not be comfortable with the area.2022-06-28"

"The room needed better soundproofing. The furniture was old and torn, and the bedsheets didn't seem fresh. The light fixture in the bathroom was rusty and looked horrible. The night clerk wasn't competent. Find another hotel.2019-12-10"

"The motel was clean, and the employees were nice.2020-02-28"
"The motel was horrible, and the room was extremely dirty. The fridge and microwave were filthy. When I pulled back the blankets, a roach ran across the bed. I killed it and took it to the front desk, and the clerk seemed as horrified as I was. There was toothpaste splatter on the mirror and sink faucet, urine on the toilet, and hair in the shower. There was also mold on the ceiling above the shower. No other rooms were available, and we weren't offered compensation. I would never recommend this place to anyone.2020-01-08"

Although renovations were underway, everything was clean, modern, and beautiful. Amazing mattress and bed linens. The staff was extremely helpful and even told me how I could order the same linens for my home. Our room came with books, robes, slippers, caramels, and 2 bottles of water. 2022-04-18"

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.
