Do you like to stay in a motel?

I don't like staying anywhere that isn't my own bed. I hate thinking that other people have slept on the same bed before. I don't like not knowing what has happened on that bed or in that room. Plus hotels don't wash everything everytime someone stays in that room. Which really really freaks me out. I always bring my own blankets and pillows I f I can when I travel.

I don't like motels!! There has been an outbreak of bedbugs in my area for the past year or so and motels and hotels are the worst cases. When I think of sleeping in a bed that has been occupied by hundreds of people it makes me shudder--who knows what was crawling on them or what they did on that bed?! I avoid staying in strange places if I can. I'll sleep at a friend's house or a family member's but I don't like sleeping in a publicly rented room.

Hi, Java09, I don't. Motels here are known to be of different reputation. In our country, people usually connote them as a temporary "haven" for lovers, sweethearts, unfaithful husbands and wives, who want to spend time alone. It is built for temporary stay... well, that's what I know of. I don't know if there are people who patronize using them for "legitimate" stay either for short or longer period. Also, I have not traveled to places where I don't have relatives where I usually stay in case I get the chance.

i prefer just hotels to motels i need my comfort at any cost if necessary or in pledge to stay in motels then i can do.

I dont like staying in cheap and dirty motel which is most of the ones i see when driving through a town. I bring my own blankets and pillows when i have to stay at a motel. If it weren't for the high risk of my car being robbed then i would probably sleep in my car.

I've not had to stay in motels much in the last several years, but when I do, I don't spend much time in the bed. For me, a motel room is a place to drop my stuff while I'm out doing the things I came to do. When and if I do sleep, I use the bedding provided, and so far I've not run into bedbugs, but I do check before lying down. I'm not sure what I'd do if I found any.

I am sorry but I love to stay in hotels. However, I avoid the ones that are dirty. There are certain chains of hotels that have a good reputation and are very clean. Those are the ones that I would advise you to stay in.
