"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"

"Hard to beat the location; easy walk to bars, restaurants, and coffee shops - room was comfortable, but nothing special - business travelers will appreciate the reliable Internet connection - entire staff was terrific, especially the front desk clerks and Front Desk Manager, Karley; had an issue involving unruly guests next door, and the staff did all they could to make things right - on-site Starbucks was convenient - the on-site restaurant and bar, Champions, was OK in a pinch, but nothing more.2012-01-01"

"This hotel was great. I wanted to take the bed and pillows home. The front desk clerk seemed interested in our satisfaction, and talked to us like we were friends. She made us feel very welcome. Don't rent a car; everything is within walking distance, including a grocery store across the street.2015-09-28"
"The hotel was beautiful, from the lobby and grounds to the room. I liked the bedside clock with temperature and forecast. No shower cap provided, and the pillows and towels weren't as plush as I like. My only big complaint was that I didn't get the wake-up call I requested. All the employees I met were gracious and professional. The amenities were just adequate, and The Carillon restaurant wasn't open for dinner on Thanksgiving.2019-11-30"

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.
