"This motel was so bad that we slept in our clothes. A pit bull charged at us when we got off the elevator on our floor. We had to change rooms because of loud barking and screaming. There were spider webs in the corners of the room. The elevator sounded like it was about to fall apart. The hallways smelled like pet waste. I would never stay at this motel again.2020-10-16"
"Convenient location and good rates. The hotel was run-down and in dire need of a makeover. Even though it was a race weekend, the front desk clerk insisted on checking in everyone at the same time. The housekeeper was on the phone both days I saw her cleaning. The staff wasn't professional. We'll stay somewhere else next year.2018-09-25"

"No coffee pot in my room. It was a struggle to get extra linens and pillows for the sofa bed. The door to our 2nd room had been left open all day; someone used the toilet without flushing it and left a mess on the wall. The hotel staff was as helpful as possible, but they were overwhelmed on a NASCAR weekend. Don't stay here.2016-09-14"

"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"

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.
