"A terrible experience. The room smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that we had to buy air freshener since the windows wouldn't stay open to let in fresh air. Don't stay at this hotel.2017-06-07"
"Great hotel room and cordial staff. Go for it.2016-11-14"
"The hotel was supposedly smoke-free, but the entire floor and our room smelled like smoke. When I told the clerk, she just said no new No Smoking signs had been ordered. Everything else about our stay was nice.2015-06-09"

"The motel was horrible, and the room was extremely dirty. The fridge and microwave were filthy. When I pulled back the blankets, a roach ran across the bed. I killed it and took it to the front desk, and the clerk seemed as horrified as I was. There was toothpaste splatter on the mirror and sink faucet, urine on the toilet, and hair in the shower. There was also mold on the ceiling above the shower. No other rooms were available, and we weren't offered compensation. I would never recommend this place to anyone.2020-01-08"
"This hotel was badly in need of an update. The bathtub floor didn't feel stable. The staff was OK, but not particularly welcoming. Limited selections at breakfast, and the eating area was small. Pick another place to stay.2015-10-22"

Although renovations were underway, everything was clean, modern, and beautiful. Amazing mattress and bed linens. The staff was extremely helpful and even told me how I could order the same linens for my home. Our room came with books, robes, slippers, caramels, and 2 bottles of water. 2022-04-18"

"The bed was comfortable, and I loved the white bedding. The towels were also white and were beautifully folded. No bathtub, just a shower. I did hear other guests slamming doors and dragging chairs around upstairs. Ask for a room away from the noisy highway side of the hotel.2020-08-20"

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.

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.
