"The room needed better soundproofing. The furniture was old and torn, and the bedsheets didn't seem fresh. The light fixture in the bathroom was rusty and looked horrible. The night clerk wasn't competent. Find another hotel.2019-12-10"

"The quality of the hotel staff stood out. Check-in was quick and easy, and a young man helped us with our key card for the elevator, then helped us get our luggage to the room. He refused to accept a tip. The restaurant staff couldn't have been more accommodating; we were impressed with how polite and efficient they were. Nice breakfast, too. Book it.2024-01-21"

The ceiling was patched and peeling in spots, and the bed hardly had any springs. The water in the handicap shower went all over the floor. I had to wait 10 minutes for a clerk to come to the desk to check me in. Breakfast was good.2023-11-14"

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.
