"A horrible experience. The hotel computer system went down, and after asking many times, I was finally able to pay cash for one night. When I returned to the room, I found that the key card didn't work, the room hadn't been serviced, and I had to pay cash again for the 2nd night. The staff was terrible to deal with. Don't stay here.2023-10-02"

"Nice, quiet hotel. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. No microwave in the room, though there was one in the lobby area. The staff was pleasant, and the lobby was clean. The ice machines on each floor were conveniently located. There were snacks, food, and beverages for sale, and adequate seating in the dining area. Good breakfast, but the selections was minimal. The area was nice, and there were gas stations, restaurants, and a CVS drugstore about five minutes away.2021-07-16"
"The room was cleaner when I left than when I arrived; I bought my own cleaning supplies in case my puppy made any messes. The door had to be forced shut. The hair dryer didn't work. I set the dirty towels and linens outside the door, and the housekeeper didn't replace them. The check-in clerk was rude. My son cut his foot on the outside of the pool. Not a family-friendly motel.2015-08-05"

There were restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance.2021-05-24"

"Great location, but the hotel room was small for the price. There was old food in the microwave, and trash bags were lying by the trash cans instead of in them. There was some hair on the shower floor. We weren't happy about the $250 hold on our credit card.2022-07-26"

"There was no one at the front desk when I arrived, so I had to wait for the hotel clerk's return to check in. The room was clean, but housekeeping didn't do a great job of re-stocking. There was a coffee maker, but no coffee. The paper towel hanger was empty. There were 3 towels, but only 2 hand towels and 1 washcloth. The body wash container was empty. There was no one at the desk at checkout time.2021-10-01"

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.
