Have you ever stayed in a seedy, no-tell motel?

Question

What was it like? Was it ok? Noisy? Safe? I'm thinking about staying in one.

Answer 1

Yes, in North Carolina. Noisy, filthy dump, a typical Knights Inn. Stayed one night and left very early in the morning.

Answer 2

Yes I have.  It was nice actually.  They had a 4 hour rate and was very clean.  No phone or TV.  The shower stall was large enough for two people.  They opened at 9 AM and there were no overnight guests.  I checked on them a few years ago and they are still going strong after at least 20 years.  Hope this helps.
