"The hotel room had a shabby appearance. No TV remote control, and the freezer had a burn hole. The bathroom was in bad shape, with trim separated from the call and cabinets with holes in them. There were no towels, and the office closed at 7 PM. There was a strong marijuana smell in the hallway and lobby. Breakfast was advertised, but it wasn't available. There was a sign about coffee in the office, but it didn't open until 11 AM. We had to drive 3 miles to BoJangles to get coffee. The rates were low, so I guess you get what you pay for.2020-04-20"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.

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.
