I wish old-style motels would make a comeback

There's something fulfilling about being able to back my truck up in a parking spot mere feet from the door to my room. Unfortunately, most motels today cater to bad crowds. I just want a clean room. I don't need a fancy lobby, free breakfast, conference rooms, or a snooty desk clerk greeting me every time I enter and leave a hotel.

Real estate and taxes are too damn high to make it profitable now. That’s why the seedy old motels are shitholes

Used to love those places when we vacationed when I was a kid. Big thrill to see them advertise color TV on the sign
There's still a few decent ones in operation

I stayed at the Austin Motel on South Congress with the wife a couple of weekends ago. It was great to experience the nostalgia of a place like that. It was a really nice experience all around.

Something like this would be nice.

Agreed. Brings back memories of vacations when I was a kid. Loved the old school motels.

Send me $1M and we’ll go into business together building them.

They got a few motels on Tulane Ave. Go nuts.

Stayed in one just like you’re talking about in Augusta last yr for The Masters. Two story, outside entrance doors to every room. It was normally a $60 per night room that we paid $400 a night for Tues and Wed during the tournament. It was a shithole with new paint!

There are still a number of them on the main drag in Cheyenne, WY. I enjoyed seeing the old-school signs. They looked OK but the wife required a Marriott.

Driftwood in Nola. A bunch of places in ft Lauderdale.

A strip of them in Tucumcari, New Mexico along the old Route 66 that are pretty cool.

My go to poop spot when on the road. Screw the BP station, the Drury Inn has a comfy clean restroom.

The moon winx is still going strong in Tuscaloosa. lol
Posted on 3/9/19 at 10:26 pm to Eightballjacket
I get nostalgic about that too.

It is a safety issue I think. Easy to rob people in those motels. I know someone who was robbed at gunpoint at one.
