re: When did hotels become the housing choice for derelicts?

Pretty much any motel/hotel on Reiger Road in Baton Rouge will be the home if extensive drug use and any other crime you can imagine. Those places are complete shitholes because of the addicts.
I was homeless for about 5 months due to a slight case of "house got wrecked" and was in hotels. My usual was the Doubletree because between Priceline and the insurance company, I was getting to stay there and pay nothing out of pocket. By the end, the front desk would just let me have cookies and the kitchen wouldn't let me have kitchen privileges, but I'd gotten to know the GM and kitchen manager, so they'd hook me up sometimes with special meals.
Then the week of the Alabama game happened and my cozy home away from destroyed home was booked solid and there was nothing the GM could do to keep me in my room that week. I had to find somewhere else to live until the sisterfrickers left town.
I ended up at the Super 8 on Reiger Rd. Talk about a tale of two worlds. I'm pretty sure there was a hooker posted up in the room behind mine. She sure had a lot of gentleman callers. Also, they did not give me delicious warm chocolate chip cookies regularly.

Why rent an apartment for a monthly rate at over 1k and deal with utilities, permits, and deposits. When you can get a monthly rate at some motels for 500 to 600 dollars a month and leave as you please.
You may not have the best neighbors, but who needs porn with the paper thin walls as you listen to your neighbor getting railed for over an hour.

Those hotels have been terrible for a long time. We used to buy pills from one of the female night manager at one around 2006-07. For sure some creeps hanging around those parking lots at night.

While searching for an apartment once I was looking through the sex offender registry to see if this place had any living near there. Well, sure enough I found a place that had at least 15 of them living at the same address.
I thought WTF!? Looked up the place and sure enough it's an extended stay motel. Apparently it's one of the few places this filth can live.

Those motels often changed hands from a big chain (or maybe a reputable franchisee) to an independent entrepreneur and went downhill very quickly.
Someone like Holiday Inn Express operated there for 20 years and made lots of money. All sorts of things were nearing end-of-life, though. Management faced a decision: renovate or get out.
So the place gets sold to a guy targeting a completely different, much scummier market segment. Now, not only does the big renovation never happen, the little day-to-day fixes don't get applied. Things get disgusting.
Best example in my area is the Garden Plaza in Norcross.

I can’t figure out how they manage to not be shut down.
Maybe it’s because they know it would be like hitting a wasp nest and that the trashies would just scatter.

There's one where I live that still has its 1960s era signage up. However, it is now the type of hotel you're talking about.
And of course LivePD fans know about the famous hotel in Richland County, SC. Super sketchy and dangerous.

Years ago in Birmingham there was an old Ramada Inn which was sold to a private person.
He just painted over the first and last letter and it was then known as the Amad Inn.
Place remained in business for years.
I couldn't imagine anyone staying there.

Indians. Dot, not feather. Mostly run dumps and don’t give a shite as long someone is paying.

Atlanta has an Aramda Inn. It's right by 285 somewhere around Doraville.

trashy hotel/motels have always been used for housing for addicts, prostitutes, etc...

Nah...I remember when the roadside motel was a respectable business back in the 70s & 80s, and I’m sure in the 50s & 60s as well.

And then national chain hotels were created which forced these places to take any business they can get to survive

This has a lot to do with it. The reality is that you can shut down the motels/hotels, but the scum that gathers there isn't going anywhere. Instead, they'll just go ruin another area. They're better off just picking them off in the parking lots one-by-one than making them scatter.
