The room was clean and in good order, and there was a decent TV channel selection. The AC worked well and was quiet. Other guests cleaned out their vehicles in the parking lot and left trash all over. They didn't seem to clean up after their dogs, either.2021-03-04"

"My room was on the 1st floor, and it had a funky smell. The toilet ran constantly. I was moved to a room on the 2nd floor that smelled much fresher. Not a bad place to stay, but some deep cleaning would help. The hotel employees were super friendly and helpful. There were restaurants and stores within walking distance, like Target, Hobby Lobby, and HEB.2023-03-24"

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.
