"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. The room was clean. All the employees were nice and welcoming, and the front desk clerk was pleasant. We left an iPad in the room, and when I called it had been found. My only complaint was that the indoor pool area was too warm.2016-03-14"
"This hotel wasn't as nice as other Microtels we've stayed in. The room was exceptionally small. The window seat cushion was stained, and the bathtub drain was rusty. Poor water pressure in the sink. Our phone rang 4 times at around 3:30 AM. When I asked the front desk clerk about it, her response was, "I don't know." There was a large piece of wallpaper hanging loose in the hallway. On a positive note, the bed was clean and the check-in clerk was pleasant. Coffee was available in the lobby. I'll stay elsewhere on my next stop in the area.2019-03-02"

"I enjoyed staying at this motel and would definitely return.2021-03-07"
"We had an end room, so it was quiet. The decor was rather dated, but everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. The pillows were thin, but that was the only negative. The motel clerk was wonderful. Minimal breakfast. We'd stay here again.2018-10-31"
"Good motel if you're traveling with pets. The room was clean. It smelled a bit until the AC was turned on, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was nice. The Internet connection was slow and unreliable. Breakfast was just yogurt, granola bars, and coffee.2018-10-09"
"The motel was adequate for a one-night stay.2017-12-05"
"No HDTV. The bathroom smelled bad, and there was no stopper for the bathtub. The hallway was dirty, and all the exterior doors were open. Breakfast was the only saving grace. Don't stay at this hotel.2020-01-14"

"There was nothing for a diabetic at the continental breakfast. There weren't even any spoons.2022-04-04"

"Good motel for the price.2016-08-10"
"The motel was clean and my dogs were welcome. The beds were super comfortable.2015-11-27"
"OK room, but not worth the price. The lock on the exterior door was broken. The check-in clerk didn't check our ID or credit card information. No elevator. Loud people from the bar next door hung out in the parking lot outside our room. Find another motel.2015-10-19"
"My hotel stay was a complete disaster. It appeared that shelves on the room wall had been torn off. The AC didn't work, and I noticed small bugs. The phone didn't work, so I had to go to the front desk to tell the clerk. I waited 20 minutes for someone to come fix the AC before doing it myself. We left our pizza on the counter, and when we returned from the store, there were bugs all over our food. Don't stay here.2019-06-11"
"The hotel room was clean, and the staff was attentive.2020-12-29"
"I stay at this hotel 4 to 6 times a year. It's right off the interstate and reasonably priced. The rooms have been updated and are always comfortable and clean. Good Internet connection, and the laundry facilities are clean and inexpensive. The entire staff is unfailingly efficient, friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. Simple but good complimentary breakfast, and coffee is available 24 hours a day.2017-02-17"
"Breakfast was lousy. Don't stay at this hotel.2016-07-26"

"The hotel room was filthy. There was food on the floor. No vanity or mirrors. Don't stay here.2021-05-26"
"Don't waste your money at this hotel. The room was damp, had bugs, and smelled bad, and the light fixture was full of bugs. There was hair in the bathtub, and the toilet wasn't bolted to the floor.2018-08-12"
"The hotel was under construction. The bed was comfortable, but that was the only positive. The TV listed 114 stations but only got 64, and the remote control didn't work. Breakfast was paltry at best. Not a good stay.2017-02-15"

"The hotel wasn't clean. The mattress was OK, but the headboard was dirty. Good water pressure in the shower, but the paint job in the bathroom was poor. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work, and the smell of smoke came in through the exhaust. The wallpaper in the bathroom odd the lobby was peeling. There was trash and food spills in the elevators and hallways. The only ice machine was on the ground floor. Only decaf coffee was available. Don't stay here.2022-04-03"

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.
