"The hotel room was filthy. There was food on the floor. No vanity or mirrors. Don't stay here.2021-05-26"
"Don't waste your money at this hotel. The room was damp, had bugs, and smelled bad, and the light fixture was full of bugs. There was hair in the bathtub, and the toilet wasn't bolted to the floor.2018-08-12"
"The hotel was under construction. The bed was comfortable, but that was the only positive. The TV listed 114 stations but only got 64, and the remote control didn't work. Breakfast was paltry at best. Not a good stay.2017-02-15"

"The hotel wasn't clean. The mattress was OK, but the headboard was dirty. Good water pressure in the shower, but the paint job in the bathroom was poor. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work, and the smell of smoke came in through the exhaust. The wallpaper in the bathroom odd the lobby was peeling. There was trash and food spills in the elevators and hallways. The only ice machine was on the ground floor. Only decaf coffee was available. Don't stay here.2022-04-03"

"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. The room was clean. All the employees were nice and welcoming, and the front desk clerk was pleasant. We left an iPad in the room, and when I called it had been found. My only complaint was that the indoor pool area was too warm.2016-03-14"
"This hotel wasn't as nice as other Microtels we've stayed in. The room was exceptionally small. The window seat cushion was stained, and the bathtub drain was rusty. Poor water pressure in the sink. Our phone rang 4 times at around 3:30 AM. When I asked the front desk clerk about it, her response was, "I don't know." There was a large piece of wallpaper hanging loose in the hallway. On a positive note, the bed was clean and the check-in clerk was pleasant. Coffee was available in the lobby. I'll stay elsewhere on my next stop in the area.2019-03-02"

"I stay at this hotel 4 to 6 times a year. It's right off the interstate and reasonably priced. The rooms have been updated and are always comfortable and clean. Good Internet connection, and the laundry facilities are clean and inexpensive. The entire staff is unfailingly efficient, friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. Simple but good complimentary breakfast, and coffee is available 24 hours a day.2017-02-17"
"My hotel stay was a complete disaster. It appeared that shelves on the room wall had been torn off. The AC didn't work, and I noticed small bugs. The phone didn't work, so I had to go to the front desk to tell the clerk. I waited 20 minutes for someone to come fix the AC before doing it myself. We left our pizza on the counter, and when we returned from the store, there were bugs all over our food. Don't stay here.2019-06-11"

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.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
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.
