"The hotel was run-down, the room smelled like urine, and there were large spots on the carpet. There was hair in the sink. No hot breakfast; instead we got a discount at the restaurant next door; our breakfast for 2 cost $32. Not a good value, and not what we expected. Stay somewhere else.2021-10-24"

"This was my worst hotel experience ever. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the room was always either too hot or too cold. The phone, bathroom exhaust fan, and hair dryer didn't work. One side of the receptacle in the bathroom didn't work. I mistakenly left a blanket behind; I called and was told it would be mailed back to me, but after not hearing anything, I called back and was told the manager said it couldn't be mailed back to me. I'll never stay here again.2020-02-10"

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.
