  • Rodeway Inn
  • Rodeway Inn, Cedar City UT
  • Very basic motel on Center St, about five blocks south of Center and Main, the core of any good Mormon town. A lot of semi-permanent residents. Not really sketchy, just poor. Indoor pool and jacuzzi were very nice.

  • Economy Inn
  • private business Payson AZ
  • not exciting, but comfortable and clean and quiet

  • Royal Motor Inn
  • private business Moscow ID
  • Kinda funky, but cheap and right downtown, awash in University kids

  • Old Town Inn
  • private business Florence OR
  • quiet and pleasant, easy walk to the very cool old bridge and old Florence

  • Arlington Hotel Resort and Spa
  • private business Hot Springs AR
  • Historic hotel in the very heart of downtown Hot Springs. Nice hot tub, I'm sure the pool is nice in the summer. A short walk to the Hot Springs Visitors Center.

  • Aspen Motel
  • private business Oakridge OR
  • Crummy little place, but nice tv and good wifi. Oakridge has a real Appalachian feel to it, not in a good way.

  • Waters Edge Resort
  • private business Garden City UT
  • Was called the Bear Lake Lodge until recently. The old motel seems to be some kind of doomed placeholder for a deluxe extended stay place "coming soon". Great location, the lake directly in back, pizza place to the north and a nice modern place that even serves beer to the south ... which turns out to be the same owners as the motel.

  • Valley Inn
  • private business Fresno CA
  • boring but cheap

  • Cherokee Inn
  • private business Cherokee OK
  • A formerly deluxe roadside motel, just hanging on. It has a steakhouse which looked nice, but was closed on Tuesday night.

  • The Springs
  • private business Pagosa Springs CO
  • This a soaking wonderland! There are at least 15 different pools ranging from lukewarm to very hot, arranged on many levels on the hillside along the San Juan River. There are pools at river's edge, so you can hop from very hot to very cold water. I was first here in 1995, and the place has gotten way more developed and expensive since then.

  • Pacific Inn
  • private business Crescent City CA
  • quiet and nice motel in downtown

  • Motel 6
  • Motel 6, Mammoth Lakes CA
  • A very nice price point for staying in Mammoth. Interior is very stylish and well laid out - plenty of electrical outlets in convenient places, nice table and shelves. On the negative side, no refrigerator and microwave, as I have come to expect in my cheap motels.

  • El Campo Casa
  • private business Jackson CA
  • quiet, faux Spanish style, very restful

  • Town House Motel
  • private business Winnemucca NV
  • Very pleasant, right downtown, easy walk to food

  • Grand Hotel
  • McMenamin's, McMinnville OR
  • cool old place with all the usual McMenamin's amenities. Parking is two blocks away. Downtown McMinnville is pretty cool, nice restaurants, nice coffee spots

  • TownePlace Suites
  • private business Redding CA
  • Spent two nights here in two rooms with the extended family for a sixth grade basketball tournament. Every room has a kitchenette. Continental breakfast is very well-stocked. Quite nice!

  • Old Brewery Hostel
  • Mizpah Hotel, Tonopah NV
  • Hostel-style lodging in a cool-looking renovated brewery building behind the actual Mitzpah. Register in the hotel, walk out the back door and across the street and there you are.

  • Anchor Lodge
  • private business Fort Bragg CA
  • In the harbor area. You can see it far below you from 101 in the east side of the bridge over the Noyes River. The "office" is the cashier on the second floor of Silver's at The Wharf across the parking lot. It's also great place to return to for a sunset beer. Very user-friendly place. Upstairs rooms are $10 cheaper, but they were full.

  • Caliente Hot Springs Motel
  • private business Caliente NV
  • Recently re-opened, run by an earnest young couple for whom I wish nothing but the best. You can get a rooms with your own tub, or for cheaper a regular room like mine, which is still quite nice, with a spacious kitchenette. With one of these rooms you can use the private tubs all evening. There are four more or less identical private tubs to choose from. They are open to the public until 3pm after that they are solely for the use of us lucky lodgers. :) You fill your tub from empty each time, so hygiene is pretty good, I think.

  • Redwood Inn
  • private business Willits CA
  • Shabby but neat little Willits motel on a quiet stretch of old 101 between downtown and the Safeway intersection. Looks nice from the road, looks really shabby around back, but once inside the room is pretty nice. Next door to the Mariposa Market, which is handy on the morning.

  • Titanic Hotel at Anadolu Medical Center
  • private business Gebze Turkey
  • quite deluxe and pleasant, no reason to be here except for the hospital, wonderful breakfast included, nice people
