"Close to Mt. Rushmore - room was musty and smelled like smoke - bathtub drain was clogged, so there was water up to my ankles by the end of my shower - housekeepers didn't seem to change bedding daily - I had to call a few times to get directions, and the night clerk wasn't at all helpful - didn't get 1st-floor room as requested, and the clerk's response to my complaint was, "I can't help you" - the day clerk said we should have been able to get a 1st-floor room, but the night clerk didn't put guests with children in those rooms - disappointed that the pool and whirlpool were closed for the season - breakfast was mediocre at best - a terrible experience.2013-08-01"

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.
