"The room smelled strange, and there was a black stain on the blanket. We saw a roach, too. I called the front desk; the clerk said they don't have roaches and wanted to come to the room to see it. I said no because it was late and the roach had already run away. Needless to say, we didn't sleep well. The motel clerks were nice, but I don't recommend staying at this motel.2020-03-11"

"Nice hotel. Close to the Richmond airport, and there was a good Mexican restaurant nearby. Good shower, but the sink faucet was missing the screen, so water splashed on my clothes. I had draped my jeans and shirt over the back of the desk chair, and the housekeeper put them in my husband's suitcase, neatly folded; I initially thought they'd been stolen. I recommend staying here.2023-06-04"

"The hotel staff was pleasant and accommodating, but the housekeeping service wasn't acceptable. We returned to our room the 2nd day to find the beds had been made, but the bathroom hadn't been cleaned and no fresh towels were provided. I called the front desk, and towels were brought to our room. The next day, our room wasn't serviced at all. I asked to see the manager, but after 20 minutes of waiting, we had to get on the road. Good food.2018-07-12"

There was no one at the desk at checkout time.2021-10-01"

"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"
"The hotel clerk was courteous and as helpful as he could be with little at his disposal. Consider other options unless all you need is a usable bed and bathroom.2023-11-15"

I tried calling the front desk twice, but no one answered. The ice machine was broken. If you're looking for something a little better than average, this is not the place.2021-03-07"

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.
