"We arrived at the hotel at about 1 AM and were told we'd have to wait in the lobby for a half hour due to an audit. We weren't able to pay with cash. The vending machine had drinks but no snacks. Breakfast wasn't organized and was bad. A horrible experience.2016-11-02"

"Not the best neighborhood. The hotel was noisy. Our room looked like an old, converted dorm room, and it didn't have a lock. Not enough towels provided. The employees were polite.2019-09-23"
"This hotel was horrible from the start. There was nowhere to park when we arrived, so we had to park on the street a few blocks away. Our room seemed nice, but the toilet and sink were dirty, there was very little water pressure, and no temperature control. On the bright side, the beds were nice. We could hear everything in the room next door, and despite calling the front desk to complain, we were kept awake until 4 AM. At checkout, the clerk answered a phone call and spent the next 10 minutes on the phone instead of finishing our checkout. A kitchen worker ended up coming over and giving us the bill to sign so we could leave. Don't stay here.2016-10-30"
"Located in a questionable part of town. I arrived at 9:45 PM, and there was a party going on in the adjoining room. People repeatedly tried to open the door to my room. I called the front desk to ask for a room change; the clerk said she'd call me back but never did. I only got 3 hours of sleep. Don't stay at this hotel.2016-07-18"
"The hotel was clean and pet friendly; no issues with leaving our pup in the room for short periods of time. Wonderful staff. Breakfast wasn't great, but we weren't there for the food. Be prepared to tip the valet. I'd definitely stay again.2023-01-02"
"A beautiful hotel with reasonable rates. The staff was polite and personable, and breakfast was delicious. Great experience.2017-07-10"
"I really liked the old-style building, and the hotel staff was friendly. It did get a little noisy in the morning because of the cafe, which had good food.2016-01-06"
"Great location and top-notch accommodations. A little pricey during Summerfest. The hotel was a bit old and had some quirks, but I liked the old architecture and character. The room was really nice. If you're looking for a modern hotel, look elsewhere.2015-07-09"
"Good location. This hotel was worth every penny. The lobby was beautiful, the room was wonderful, and there was a great bar with a view. Stay here.2019-07-09"
"We arrived at 2:40, and check-in was at 3 PM. Our room wasn't ready until almost 5 PM, which was completely unacceptable. When I checked for the 5th time, we were offered a room that wasn't on the club floor but with the privileges. Wish they'd offered this at check-in time. The room itself was nice, but the bathroom wasn't that clean.2018-07-08"
"Everything was top-notch. Stay at this hotel.2016-09-09"

"Good location. The hotel room was clean, and the beds were good. The coffee pot didn't work; the staff brought another one, but it didn't work either. Breakfast was a joke.2021-08-23"
"The hotel was old, but it was clean and centrally located. The room was small, and the only seating was the desk chair. I couldn't adjust the temperature. The front desk clerks were pleasant. Breakfast was a packaged roll, juice, and coffee. Parking cost extra.2021-07-14"
"Convenient to Pabst Theater and the River Walk. The hotel was somewhat run-down. The bathroom near the lobby was a mess, with debris all over, a dirty sink, and no toilet paper. Some electrical outlets in our room didn't work. The AC was so-so. 2021-10-03"
"An excellent hotel. Breakfast was good. Stay here.2019-02-11"

"Located downtown near the lake, SummerFest, and other activities. The hotel was great; it was a little pricey, but well worth it. Our double queen room was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. Good shower. All the employees were pleasant and helpful. Stay and enjoy.2017-07-10"

"We were wowed by the fine architecture. The king bed was comfortable. Decent view of the third ward. Nice Keurig coffee maker. The bathroom was large, and we liked the soap. Check-in was quick, and we were greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne. The breakfast buffet topped off our stay, and had everything we could have wanted. Parking was expensive, but a better option than paying $22 at a garage a block away. I'd definitely stay at this hotel again.2016-05-09"
"Great location for walking Wisconsin Avenue and touring. The room was thoroughly vacuumed, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel staff wasn't particularly helpful. The restaurant was closed for renovation. No coffee or snacks available. There was nothing special about this place.2016-11-09"

"The room was clean and spacious, but there were no luggage stands. Needed more counter space and better lighting in the bathroom. The employees were pleasant and helpful. No complimentary breakfast, but free water was available. The rates were high, and the hotel charged for parking.2017-09-26"
"Convenient downtown location. The hotel room was clean but very small. Nice staff. The pool room was small but did the trick. No continental breakfast. Not the best choice if you have kids.2016-07-02"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
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.
