"Our hotel room had 3 comfortable beds. The housekeeper took our used towels, but didn't leave replacements, so we had to call to have some brought to us. Had a hot breakfast, but some items ran out early. There were only 5 tables in the eating area, and they weren't kept clean. You get what you pay for.2015-09-26"

"I've stayed at this hotel before and was happy, but it's gone downhill since then. The sofa felt slimy, like something had been sprayed on it but hadn't dried. The microwave didn't work, and I finally realized it wasn't plugged in. The TV and dresser were dusty. A large group took over the pool all night, and the whirlpool was covered. The towels had hair on them and didn't look clean. Don't stay here.2022-07-21"

"I had trouble regulating the room temperature, and it was too humid. We were always too hot or too cold. Terrific hot breakfast, and the attendant was great. The front desk clerk was helpful, but recommended a restaurant that was way too expensive called The Summer. Los Mariachis was a reasonably priced alternative. 2015-10-20"

"Nice hotel for a reasonable price. Good service, too.2015-11-03"
"Horrible mattress with springs sticking out. It sounded like the bed was going to break. There was paint dripping down the bathroom wall. The shower floor didn't have enough support, so I couldn't stand in the middle of it. Not enough towels provided; I asked for an extra towel and pillow, but never got either. Stay at another hotel.2015-08-04"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
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.
