"The hotel lobby and our room smelled terrible, and the room wasn't ready even though we arrived an hour after check-in time. When we did get to our room, the beds were made but nothing else was done. The carpet needed vacuuming, there was water on the bathroom floor, and the bathtub had a ring around it. Worst of all, there was what looked like blood on the comforter. There were dead roaches in the corner of the lobby. We decided not to stay and don't recommend it.2020-05-09"
"My room wasn't serviced after I arrived; the hotel clerk said it would be cleaned, but it never was. At checkout, I was given an excuse about a new housekeeper. The room had mold and mildew, and there were small holes in the bedsheets. I wouldn't stay here again.2021-06-21"

"Not worth the price. The AC didn't work, so I had to move to another room. The key card failed to work 14 times. Don't stay at this hotel.2019-07-08"
"Good hotel. The room was clean, but the bathroom was a little dated. The employees were helpful. If you need to sleep before 10 PM, get a room on the opposite side of the bar; the band was loud enough to be heard in our 3rd floor room.2016-02-01"

"A clean, no-frills motel. The room was fine, but the sofa was torn. Friendly employees and good breakfast. The rates seemed a bit high for the quality of the room.2019-04-18"

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.
