"The bath water was lukewarm. I saw 3 roaches, including one on top of the bedsheets. Not enough electrical outlets. The key card almost never worked. I asked for a discount, but the motel staff refused.2020-06-14"
"The hotel was nice and comfortable. One of my little dogs has trouble with stairs, so the staff gave me a 1st floor room near the door. I really appreciated that. All the employees made me feel at home. I'd stay here again.2018-05-23"
"We were put in a 1st floor room, and there was a smell of wet dog due to the dog-friendly rooms on our floor. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast food and eating area were nice.2015-10-06"
"Good hotel stay. Convenient to the college, restaurants, and stores. The AC didn't work and the room smelled like cigarette smoke, but I was moved to another room that was clean and comfortable. Nice beds. Polite, helpful hotel clerks and breakfast servers.2017-08-05"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
