"A wonderful experience. This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. All the employees are polite and helpful.2019-10-30"
"I requested a room away from the noisy elevator and ice machine, and got a room right across from the elevator and near the ice machine. I had to call and request a different room. On the plus side, I left my clothes in the closet and the hotel clerk mailed them all to me. No complimentary breakfast despite the high room rates. Parking cost $26 a night.2016-08-11"

"We booked 2 hotel rooms. The AC in one room made noise, and the front desk offered our ear plugs. They were moved to another room, but there was a problem with the key cards. They were finally moved to a 3rd room at 5 AM.2018-09-06"
"The hotel was so clean, and the food was great. The only negative was that the front desk clerks weren't very welcoming or attentive. No information in the room about checkout times, room service, or other hotel features. We enjoyed the pool. Book it.2021-09-20"

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.
