"The hotel seemed overpriced. The room was a dump and smelled bad. The key card didn't work well. When the shower was turned on, it smelled moldy. The laminate floor was old, and the edges were bent up. The employees were nice, but I don't recommend staying here.2023-04-06"
"We had a pleasant stay. The hotel clerk was helpful, and the room was clean and cheerful. We ate all our meals at the restaurant; the food was good, and the staff was pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.2019-09-16"
"Great hotel stay.2016-02-13"
"I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The room was updated, spotless, and smelled fresh. Comfortable bed with nice linens. The front desk clerks were polite and cheerful. Ask for a quiet room away from Tim's drive-through.2015-10-27"

"We had a bad experience at this hotel and were surprised by all the extra taxes and fees. The carpet in the room was dirty, and the bath mat had black mold on it. We asked for a replacement and got one, but the used washcloths weren't replaced; we had to wait until the next night to get some. The walls in the room and bathroom were dirty, and we were uncomfortable and disappointed. Don't stay here.2018-10-13"
"The hotel was older, and there was a bit of a funky smell when we walked in. The room was clean, and the bathroom in our room had been updated and was quite stunning. The staff was friendly, and the manager was engaging and interacted with guests.2022-10-10"

"The hotel room was nice and clean, but the balcony was so tiny there was just room to stand. The water view was very limited. Efficient, friendly service at the front desk, and the restaurant food was fabulous.2016-08-01"
"Clean, quiet hotel room with comfortable beds. The great views were marred by dirty windows. We did find some minor maintenance issues; some light switches and electrical outlets didn't work, and the sink was cracked. The service was exceptional. 2016-05-12"

"Clean, decent room, but the plumbing was noisy so it was hard to sleep. I could hear water running in other rooms, but it might not bother people who aren't as sensitive to noise. A little pricey for what you get, but not a bad stay overall.2017-10-13"
"Good location, especially if you use the Clipper ship for transportation. Charming older hotel. The room was clean and adequate for a comfortable stay, but it was by no means upscale. Great water pressure in the shower, though the hot water was finicky. The hallways were dated. Breakfast was also satisfactory, served in a lovely, sunny room. A pleasant, family-friendly place to stay.2017-06-30"
"Close to the harbour in a walkable area. The hotel room was clean and fully equipped. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice hot breakfast. Not many rooms with balconies, though; book early if you want one.2017-05-23"

"Reasonably priced motel. The room was clean and had great views. The employees were friendly, helpful, and kind. Breakfast was good, but I didn't like the disposable dishes.2016-06-18"
"The motel room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, but don't expect a stunning view if you get a "view room". There were trees in the way, but it was interesting to watch the ships and tugs in the harbor, and the sunset was beautiful. Marvelous staff; they were friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast buffet with lots of choices.2015-06-13"
"The room was spotless and relaxing, and the view was amazing. The hotel staff was just unbelievable; they went above and beyond to help us. A beautiful place to stay.2019-10-28"
"The hotel room was clean, bright, and comfortable. Good housekeeping. The on-site restaurant was a bit pricey, but it was about a 15-minute walk from other restaurants. The in-room coffee was dismal.2019-04-25"

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.
