"My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The room smelled bad. The walls were dirty, there were stains on the ceiling, and the bedsheets didn't look clean. Had to pay for guaranteed valet parking in the garage across the street, but I found my car parked illegally near the valet area instead of in the garage. I expected better for the price.2016-01-04"
"I had a little trouble finding the hotel because the entrance was around the corner from where my GPS said it was. The room and lobby were attractive and clean, and the parking was convenient.2020-07-25"

"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 hotel room had many problems. The room wasn't clean, and the TV in the bedroom didn't work. The AC fans outside the window were loud and sounded like an alarm going off. 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"
"We were disappointed. The room was clean and comfortable, but the WiFi didn't work, and we were told we'd have to wait for a tech to call. We gave up and went to bed. We were also disappointed with the breakfast choices.2021-02-17"

"We were put on the concierge floor, but never told about the amenities. The TV remote control didn't work, and the toilet was stopped up. Both were taken care of by management. The pillows were way too big. The next day, the AC leaked all over the floor and we had to move to the 16th floor. No one helped us with our move, and we're in our 80s. The hotel manager was nice and gave us a discount, but I'm not sure we'd stay again.2015-05-11"

"The valet parking was immensely helpful, and the shuttle service was a real perk. Security was lax, though; a group of young non-guests snuck into the pool and were rowdy. I wasn't comfortable and left the pool area. The meals were overpriced. Find another hotel.2017-11-25"

"The walls in my room were in terrible shape, and I woke up to find bugs on the floor. I killed a roach in the bathroom. The staff was nice, but the hotel needed a lot of work. I was disappointed. Don't stay here until remodeling is complete.2019-01-06"

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.
