"Great hotel and staff. We arrived about 10 minutes after the wine happy hour ended, but were still given 2 nice glasses of wine to start off our visit. The room was clean. While we were out, our crated dog must have made noise, because we returned to find him with the front desk clerks. It was nice to see that they cared and he was happy with them. We'd definitely stay here again.2018-08-24"

"I was not happy about having to use the valet parking service, and wasn't able to access my vehicle when I wanted to, even just to retrieve something I'd forgotten. I always had to wait for the valet to get my car and bring it to me. Don't stay at this hotel if you want to park yourself.2020-02-02"
"Not a good neighborhood; there were a lot of empty, run-down buildings in the area, making walking a bit scary. The hotel room was nice and clean. The front desk clerks were all young and more interested in conversing than dealing with guests; I didn't feel my stay was of any value to them. Find another place to stay.2019-04-24"

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.
