"The hotel room wasn't the cleanest, but it was OK. The AC air filters needed to be cleaned. Great bed and pillows. The towels were clean, but there were hairs in the bathtub. Phenomenal staff. Great place to stay.2022-05-25"
"Not a good value. The carpet in my room was dirty, and the furniture was old and scratched. Breakfast was a joke. The only good thing was the parking. Find another motel.2021-08-30"
"Close to Highway 401. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the rates were affordable. The motel staff was friendly and helpful, and the manager was great. I even got a printout of area attractions. A drunk person pounded on the door next to ours at 4 AM the 2nd night and was eventually removed by the police. I couldn't sleep after that. Good variety at breakfast, and there were a number of restaurants nearby. I'd stay here again.2019-11-18"
"Easy access to 401, and not too far from the hospital and downtown. Easy check-in and checkout. Didn't like that I had to ask to have the garbage emptied each day. No continental breakfast. The free parking was an advantage.2023-09-14"

"The hotel served our purposes. The room was clean, though the mattress needed to be replaced and the bathroom needed updating. The security deposit was too high, and it wasn't refunded for almost a week.2019-10-13"
"The AC didn't work. We were moved to another room, but the AC there didn't work, either. We were told we could get a refund and go elsewhere, but another hotel clerk intervened and found us a room with a working AC. After settling in, other guests walked in our room; they'd mistakenly been given a key card for the room.2018-07-05"
"Just a place to sleep for me. Check at the front desk if you need a refrigerator. The clerks were professional and helpful, and the free parking was a plus.2015-08-29"
"The hotel was clean but dated. The fireplace didn't work, and the TV needed repair. The cleaning staff was great, but the front desk clerks were a little abrupt. Bring your own notepad and pen. The restaurants were great.2023-02-02"
"Not a good experience. The pet fee was $30 per night, and there was a full page of restrictions that made me feel pets weren't really welcome. Some of the employees were pleasant and welcoming, but others were not. The bagged breakfast was sad. I won't be returning.2020-07-28"

"Clean room, but I was never able to reach the front desk from the in-room phone. The hotel employees were welcoming and helpful, and the food at the Bistro was excellent. I did have to request a printout of the invoice. I highly recommend staying here.2024-02-09"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.

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.
