"The clock in the room didn't work, and there were only 4 hangers provided. The bathroom light was burned out. No hair dryer. The housekeeper left a cleaning rag on the desk. It took 3 tries to have 4 issues resolved. Horrible customer service at the front desk. Don't stay at this hotel.2015-03-30"

"Room was small, and the TV didn't work most of our stay. The repairman came to our room 3 times. A housekeeper entered our room without knocking while we were asleep. Bathroom door wouldn't shut properly. Completely awful stay, especially considering the rates. Don't stay at this hotel.2015-02-23"

"This was the best hotel experience I've ever had. The property was quirky and fun, and no detail was overlooked. We were enthusiastically greeted by the check-in clerk, who promptly asked if I'd prefer a local beer or wine with my caramel popcorn treat. The beds and pillows were also locally made and were like sleeping on a cloud. Wonderful customer service and southern hospitality. The continental breakfast was just right, and complimentary beer and wine were available in the evening. The $18 parking fee was well worth it, and the valets were prompt. Don't miss this gem.2018-12-02"
"I wasn't aware that the hotel was under renovation; I arrived at 3 AM, and it wasn't easy to find the entry. There was no one at the front desk, so I had to wait for someone to get there. Hammering and drilling noise woke me up when I was trying to rest. Breakfast was a refrigerated sausage biscuit I had to heat up.2019-08-06"

"Great hotel. All the employees were friendly. The only negative was that water spilled on the floor when I showered. Still, this place is worth a stay.2021-01-07"
"Nothing in my motel room worked. The lights were burned out, the stove fan didn't work, and there was trash under the bed. The staff didn't answer the phone when I called, and the key card stopped working after the 1st night.2016-11-02"
"The motel was a bit out of the way. The 1st room smelled strongly of smoke, so I asked for a room change. The 2nd room had a strong mint smell, but that was acceptable. The room was a little worn and didn't have the best soundproofing, but I didn't expect much else for the price. The motel was fine for a place to sleep, but I wouldn't want my daughter to stay there by herself.2015-05-04"
"Affordable motel, but housekeeping was awful. We asked for a 1st floor room and were put in a pet room, even though we didn't have a pet. The carpet smelled like urine, and there was old garbage under the sink. I asked for a room change the next day, and was given a room that had been flooded. There were socks hanging in the bathroom. So for the 3rd time, we moved to another room.2015-04-03"

"The key card for my motel room kept malfunctioning, and I had to go to the front desk several times to sort it out. The room was dark and had no overhead light. Not enough toilet paper provided. No elevator, and all 4 of the ice machines were broken. Bring your own ice and toilet paper.2023-12-30"
"The motel room was clean but dark. The employees were friendly.2022-11-28"
"A horrible motel. The room had roaches and smelled like cat urine. Water leaked from the ceiling onto the bed. Don't stay here.2017-10-16"
"The hotel was extremely comfortable and sanitary. I had a quiet and restful stay. The only thing I'd change about our room was a bit more space between the bed and desk to maneuver the chair. Nutritional choices and excellent coffee at breakfast. Stay here.2020-07-03"
"The hotel room was tiny and didn't have a microwave or fridge. There was nowhere to put my belongings. I requested a room change; the 2nd room was the same except the bed was bigger. The curtains wouldn't close all the way, so the sun came in the room. I tried calling the front desk for 30 minutes, but no one ever answered. I wasn't happy and don't recommend staying here.2018-04-17"
"The room was clean, and the front desk clerk was extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel paid for our transportation to the airport when the shuttle wasn't running, which was great.2017-06-06"

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.
