"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.

"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.

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 were 3 different hotels in 1 building, and one front desk on the 2nd floor was used for them all. I'm older with limited mobility; I requested a 1st floor room, but I was put on the 18th floor at the end of the hallway, far from an elevator. The building was evacuated during my stay, and I had to climb down 18 floors of stairs. The room was always too hot; I complained to management and was told to keep the blinds down. Never got my requested wake-up call. The toilet seat was loose. The ice machine on my floor didn't work. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-05-19"

The light in the bathroom was out, and there was no toilet paper dispenser. There was some kind of grate leaning against the shower wall. 2020-06-21"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

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.
