"There was a lot of noise above our room late at night; I called the motel clerk, but the noise continued for another 30 minutes. I went to the front desk and heard the clerk called the room. The noise finally stopped, but started again at 5:30 AM.2021-03-29"
"We had a pleasant hotel stay overall, but the bathroom wasn't clean. The front desk clerk came to our room to help fix the TV; I told her about the bathroom, but no one was sent to clean it.2020-03-10"
"My smoke-free motel room had a residual smell of smoke. The room was clean, but the bedskirts were wrinkled and the towels weren't properly folded. The pool was dirty. Stay at another motel.2016-07-01"
"The hotel decor was depressing, and everything was gray. The hallway carpet was so busy it gave me a headache. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was OK, but the entire room was so stark. The coffee pot location made it impossible to fill it with water, and the non-dairy creamer smelled bad. If you don't care about tasteful surroundings, give it a go.2023-01-09"
"The hotel room was quiet and clean, and the beds were absolutely divine. We got a great night's sleep. The on-site food was poor; definitely go out for breakfast.2022-10-17"

"I guess you get what you pay for at this motel. The room was musty and smelly; it just didn't feel clean. Everything needed updating. I wouldn't stay here again and don't recommend it.2017-11-22"
"Not a good area. The motel was run-down and wasn't clean. The front desk clerk wasn't helpful at all with directions. The employees were rude and unaccommodating. Find another place to stay.2022-03-14"
"The hotel was a bit difficult to find, but it was worth the effort. It was clean and cozy, but a bit small. The staff gave us a room near an exit door to accommodate our service dog. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds and a good-sized bathroom. 2 free bottles of water were provided. Breakfast was hot and plentiful. The dining area was small, but the tables were well-spaced.2022-05-26"
"The motel entrance wasn't secure because the lock had been removed. Some lightbulbs were burned out. Breakfast wasn't the best. A very average place.2018-08-25"

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.
