"The motel was in a bad part of town. The beds were uncomfortable. Every swimmer in my family had a rash after swimming in the saltwater pool. No protein at breakfast.2017-05-30"
"Ideal location. The motel was well-run but dated. One electrical outlet was dead, so we had to use extension cords for lights and appliances. Housekeeping was above average. Go for it, but expect the stay to suit the cost.2015-12-03"
"The hotel room was disgusting. The curtains were two different sizes, and the windowsills were dirty. The bedsheet was stained. There was some sort of goo running down the bathroom door. I told the front desk clerk, but nothing was done about the problems. The housekeeper only left 1 towel. The manager was nice and apologetic, and gave me a bit of a refund. The pool was tiny. I wouldn't recommend staying here.2019-04-20"

"Great hotel. Parking was expensive, though.2017-11-07"
"OK motel for the price. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Everything worked, and the small AC cooled the room quickly. About half of the TV channels were in foreign languages, so the selection for me was limited. No security, but there were no homeless people in the area.2022-01-17"
"The motel room was nice, clean, and updated.2021-06-17"
"Easy to access from the freeway. The hotel was clean and quiet. I had a basic room with minimal extras. Easy check-in, friendly staff, and adequate information was provided. Limited continental breakfast. I did smell marijuana in the hall one day. The parking lot didn't leave much room to maneuver when it was full, and customers of the bar next door gathered in the hotel parking lot. I expected more for the price.2018-06-12"

"The motel was undergoing much-needed renovations. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the grounds weren't that nice and the construction noise was loud. Friendly, helpful personnel. Great place to crash, but not a place to hang out during the day.2018-04-15"
"Perfect location if you're visiting Universal, but it was quite a way from the airport. We stayed at this hotel for a week. The room was comfortable, and the service was excellent. Good restaurant, especially the breakfast buffet and happy house. We'd stay again.2018-08-10"

"Right outside Universal Studios. The hotel was nothing special. The decor was outdated, and the rates were too pricey for the quality.2016-06-18"
"There was an event in the hotel parking lot that included blasting music until 10 PM. I just wanted a nice room for sleeping and relaxing, so I don't think I got what I paid for.2016-05-16"
"A satisfactory and reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Sunset Strip. Be aware that you'll need to park temporarily at the front door to check in. The parking structure was in back, and it cost $29 per night.2023-10-23"
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.

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.
