Have you stayed in a dodgy motel?

I remember staying at a motel in Sparks as a kid. The bed vibrated if you put a quarter in it.

The Muppets could do an awesome cover of this tune.

Sparks is pretty dodgy in general.

I stay in lots of dodgy places.

When I was dating my wife, I went to San Diego with her family. On the way there we stopped in Baker, CA and attend at the Best Motel. Place was super ghetto. I knew then that my wife would totally be ok with my inclination to be super cheap.

Dodgiest motel I’ve stayed in was an Econo-lodge in DC. We were there for a rugby tournament. The train tracks ran behind the building and the train came by so often you didn’t notice it. Across the street was a liquor store. My uncle had come up from VCU to watch the games. While waiting for me after a game in the parking lot he said the liquor store was robbed, twice.

Sounds rustic to me.

Kanab, UT in the 80s was Mecca for dodgy hotels. My family's personal favorite was the Superior Oil Motel. If their 19.99 rooms were all booked, then we'd roll to the Brandon Motel, whose beds were less comfortable, there were more roaches, but there was a pool, IIRC.

Wow. Two people haven't stayed in a dodgy motel. Old_Gregg and who else?

I voted for not having that blessed experience.

When I was younger, my family pretty much only traveled to visit family and would stay with the family we were visiting. I only remember staying in a motel with my parents twice - once at some California locale on the way to Disneyland when I was around 3 years old and another time when I was 16 in Ely, Nevada when they came to pick me up after I fell asleep at the wheel and broke my neck and wrist. I don't remember enough about the California motel to classify it as dodgy, and, in spite of being in Ely, the other motel seemed fine (though the medication I had taken may have clouded my judgment).

My wife and I don't travel a lot, but when we do, she has a minimum level of acceptability because of various medical issues.

That said, our standards are probably low enough that some motels that passed her minimum level of acceptability would still be considered dodgy to the CS elite.

And I've been stuck there more than once. Ugh.

Dude, Ely in the 80s/early 90s? It was dodgy.

I can't remember the name, but it was in Kimball Ne when we went to Mrs Happy's Aunt's Funeral
