Most of us stay in hotels because of work. Your schedule might change, and when it does, you can't get a refund. My schedule changed early on, so I told the guy who runs the motel. He just told me, "You signed a paper that said no refund." Aside from my personal experience, ignore the pictures online. The place is just terrible. I have a 21-day shift, and I didn't book that motel because everything there is awful. Just add $5 to whatever you think the deal is and you will have peace of mind.
Believe me, it's a RESERVATION at your own risk.
