"The hotel smelled like cigarettes. The suite was perfect for a good stay, and had a full kitchen. Unfortunately, it wasn't clean. The trash can was full, and there was hair on the towels. There was old food in the fridge. The staff was rude.2022-08-08"
"A broken dresser door in the room almost fell on my foot. The hotel clerk was pleasant.2019-08-15"
"The room wasn't that clean, and neither was the hotel lobby. No coffee cups in the morning; there was a sign that they'd run out.2016-03-24"
"Check-in at this hotel is a pain even though we stay regularly.2023-09-29"
"Check-in was OK, but there was some confusion about a security deposit. The hotel room was freezing, and we found a baby gecko in the bathroom. I saw 2 roaches in there at night, one on the vanity counter approaching my toothbrush. It was unnerving to say the least.2022-11-10"

"Convenient to the airport, and within walking distance of a bar and restaurant where you can sit outdoors. The room was clean and everything worked. Beautiful view of the bay. We arrived late in the evening, and the hotel clerk guided us across the parking lot to a cool spot for drinks and dinner. I'd stay again.2015-04-12"
"The hotel was clean. Great service, and I was accommodated with an early check-in. The pool hadn't been skimmed, so I swam with mulch and leaves. Ask for a pool-side room and you'll get a nice patio.2022-06-30"
"Good location. Spacious room with high ceilings. The hotel staff was helpful with an early check-in. I'd stay here again.2015-12-15"
"We were shocked at how depressing the room was. There was no color whatsoever. The bed didn't have a skirt or comforter. The carpet had rough edges that were a tripping hazard, and the lock on the room door was upside-down. The front desk clerk didn't speak English well, making communication stressful. Find a different hotel.2023-03-22"
"Not a good hotel stay this time. The power partially went out at 6 PM and was still out when we checked out the next day. We couldn't use the TV or WiFi, and only one light worked. The emergency lights in the stairwell didn't work. No coffee or breakfast available. Good place to stay when the power is on.2022-10-06"

"I stayed during the hurricane, and the power was out when I arrived. The employees were handing out flashlights. The power was back on when I returned from dinner. The hotel was nice and had beautiful views of the bay. Pleasant check-in. The bartender wasn't the most friendly guy, and at closing time the staff turned on bright lights so we couldn't even enjoy relaxing in the lobby.2016-10-10"
"Great location and rates. The hotel had been remodeled, and the room was clean. The staff was extremely accommodating. The clerk even drew me a map in the morning. Our expectations were exceeded; stay here.2020-11-16"
"The room door had to be slammed to close. No hot water.I don't recommend this hotel.2020-08-17"

"A fantastic experience from check-in to checkout. Great value and convenient to the airport, but I didn't hear plane noise. The hotel was clean, and the staff made me feel welcome. No on-site restaurant, but there was a restaurant across the street that also provoided room service.2019-10-25"

"Convenient to the airport. I was pleased with the spacious, clean room, but I wasn't impressed with the complimentary breakfast. More parking would've been nice, too. Other than that, it's a great place to stay.2018-04-20"
"The room was a dump. The door was cracked, and there was a gap at the bottom. No housekeeping unless it's requested 24 hours in advance. Stay away from this motel.2022-10-17"

"I had a terrible stay at this hotel. There was no blanket or comforter on the bed, and the blanket in the closet was too small. The staff did provide a 2nd blanket the next day. The heater didn't adequately warm the room, and the WiFi kept disconnecting. No in-room coffee. The hallway doors were propped open, letting in cigarette smoke, and there were ducks wandering around the grounds leaving waste. Don't stay here.2020-02-14"

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.
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.
