"The motel room was dirty and smelled like cats. The sink and bathtub drained poorly.2017-10-29"
"The motel wasn't fancy, but it had more amenities than many pricier places. The room was clean and had a great AC and good shower. I'd be happy to stay here again.2016-08-15"
"Excellent restaurants within a mile, and one of my favorites was right across the street. Just a few miles from an outlet shopping center. My motel room had a fridge. Plenty of TV channels, but no guide. The bed was firm and comfortable, and the shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. I would've liked a few more towels. The pool looked nice.2016-09-07"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
