"The hotel room wasn't appealing. The door moulding was broken, and the door look wasn't professionally installed. I found a used razor in the shower, and there was hair in the shower, too.2018-07-07"
"The motel needed some renovation. My non-smoking room was old and smelled like smoke, and the showerhead leaked. The employees were nice and helpful.2017-03-01"
"We didn't arrive until 5 AM because of car problems, but the motel clerk was nice and extended our checkout time. Unfortunately, the room was absolutely disgusting. The door lock was hanging, and there was mud all over the carpet. The bedding was clean. There was tobacco on the bathroom floor, the bathtub was dirty, and there were fingerprints on the mirror. There was hair on the towels. People smoked marijuana in the parking lot, and I saw a man looking in car windows in the parking lot. Not a safe or clean motel. Find a better place to stay.2016-08-05"
"There were cockroaches in the bathroom. The staff had poor customer service skills. Don't stay at this motel.2023-10-28"
"My non-smoking motel room smelled like smoke and cologne. All the employees were friendly. Breakfast was OK. The parking lot was secure, and there were cameras everywhere.2018-08-15"
"I didn't feel comfortable in the area. The motel was dirty and had poor soundproofing, and one of the beds had black things on it that I couldn't identify. The flooring was laminate instead of carpet. The microwave and fridge looked like they were made in the 1980s. The sink was outside of the bathroom, so there was no privacy while getting ready. The staff was friendly, but don't stay here.2017-04-03"
"The hotel room was nice, but I didn't like the breakfast; the food was reheated in plastic bags.2022-09-12"
"A wonderful hotel for a good price. The room was clean and comfortable, and the employees were friendly.2021-06-18"
"Convenient to Wannamaker Park, I-26, downtown, and beaches. The room and public areas were clean, and the hotel was quiet most of the time. I had to take trash from the room to a small bin outside the front door. No room service during my 4-day stay. The employees were courteous. The pool needed some attention, but it was clean for the most part. Limited breakfast because of Covid, but eggs and sausage were available. The coffee was good. No ice. There was plenty of parking.2021-04-27"

" When we arrived at the hotel, we were asked if we wanted to see the room. That should have been a clue. There was trash on the sidewalk between the buildings. The room had a bad odor, the chair was soiled, and there were roaches all over. I called the manager about a refund, but she never returned my call. Don't stay here.2022-05-28"
"Older hotel in need of deep cleaning or renovation. Had a musty smell. There was dirt in corners and crevasses and on the top of the bed. The TV kept fading in and out. The washcloths were stained. Exceptional front desk staff; they were nice and hospitable. I was afraid to eat the continental breakfast since it didn't appear sanitary. Not quite what I expected from a Wyndham property.2015-06-09"

"A disappointing stay at a terrible motel. The room was worn and filthy. Everyone smoked outside their rooms on the balconies. There was a puddle of something between the beds, and there were cigarette burns on everything. We were finally moved to another room when the key card stopped working. There was loud music and suspicious behavior in neighboring rooms, so I didn't get any sleep. There was even vomit on the floor in front of the laundry room. We left at 3:30 AM. Avoid this place.2019-11-11"
"There was hair in the linens, and there was a wet stain on the comforter. When I asked the front desk for a replacement, she said there were no other comforters available. Don't stay at this motel.2016-07-28"

"Great hotel stay. Nice beds and good AC. You'll enjoy your stay.2023-05-30"
"The AC was exceedingly loud and woke us up every time it cycled on and off. The phone in the room didn't work. All the hand sanitizers by the elevators were empty. Scum floated in islands in the pool, and it didn't smell like chlorine. I was extremely disappointed. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-09-20"

"Our hotel room smelled bad, and the heating and cooling unit was broken. I called the front desk and we were immediately given another room. Unfortunately, it also smelled bad. There was oil in the sink, it didn't drain well, and there were gnats flying around it. I wouldn't stay again and don't recommend it.2015-12-20"

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.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
