"I had to wait for 2 hours because my room wasn't ready. The hotel clerk wasn't apologetic or willing to offer a reason. Usually a good place to stay, but not this time.2021-11-15"
"I had a nice stay. The hotel was clean, and the customer service was great.2020-12-21"

"The hallway was dirty, and my room needed a lot of maintenance. I found a sock under the curtain. Find another hotel.2021-05-19"

"Nice hotel, and the front desk clerks were polite. Book a room.2019-11-21"
"The hotel room was OK, but the carpet was dirty. The last 2 nights of our stay, the noise from the room above ours was unbelievable. We called the front desk to complain, and then heard a slamming door and the noise got worse. Don't stay here.2019-08-24"
"This was the worst hotel we've stayed in for a long time. Housekeeping was terrible; our room wasn't even serviced 4 of the 8 days we stayed. The hallway floor and elevator were wet from kids coming from the pool without drying off. The breakfast area was dirty and unsanitary; there was spilled food everywhere. Stay somewhere else.2017-10-03"

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.
