"The hotel room was dirty, with food and garbage on the floor. It looked like it was never swept or cleaned.2023-07-10"

"Smoking rooms were next to non-smoking rooms, so all the rooms smelled bad. Lots of people were hanging around, and people knocked on my door at night. Don't stay at this hotel.2015-05-10"
"Good hotel overall, but the room rate seemed high. The room was clean and efficient. The bathroom light went off on its own at strange times, including when I was taking a shower. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was good. The soda vending machine took my money and didn't give me the product I'd selected. I recommend staying here.2022-09-09"

"This motel beat paying for a high-priced downtown hotel. The room was clean and quiet, with good amenities. A $20 cab ride to the heart of the city, and you can't even park downtown for that.2015-08-04"
"Good location. I've stayed at this motel a number of times. It's basic but has good Internet access and the room had a microwave, fridge, and flat-screen TV. The bed was comfortable. Free breakfast provided. This is a decent budget option.2017-12-04"

"Good value. We had a nice stay at this hotel, but it was hard to find without GPS. The beds were so soft and comfortable. The pool and whirlpool were fine, but the workout room was just adequate and needed a better fan. Good breakfast, though more fruit choices might have been nice.2016-09-01"
"We appreciated the hotel's pet-friendly policy. The room was kept clean during our 3-night stay. Plenty of variety at breakfast. If you want a decent place to stay without breakfast the bank, stay here.2016-03-23"

"Close to everything. Excellent rates. Beds were amazingly comfortable. Staff was so friendly. Great hotel.2015-02-04"

"Nice hotel in the University district. It was conveniently located, clean, and quiet. The staff was helpful.2015-10-26"
"I enjoyed my stay. I was at first daunted by having to make the bed, but then realized I could just wrap up like a burrito in the fluffy duvet. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the room was so clean that I walked around barefoot. Don't let the locked gate of the garage discourage you; it's one of many safety features I appreciated.2023-02-19"
"Walk to restaurants, stores, and the University of Washington. About a 30-minute commute to downtown. The room was clean and well-maintained. It was simple yet had a hip vibe. My room was near the elevator, but noise wasn't an issue at all. Friendly, helpful staff. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.2017-10-31"
"This was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in, and it was quiet at night. The room was comfortable, and the bed was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay nice, and we loved the cupcakes at the happy hour. Enjoy.2016-08-25"

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.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
