It was cheap but I was bothered by a smell reminiscent of dirty diaper stashed under the floorboards.

Yes, so you've described half the motels in the US. Which one, in particular, are you complaining about?

Actually, we saw very few really original motel names on our travels. There were two motels, side by side, on a business loop somewhere with the names "Inter Motel" and "State Motel", but I'm picking that the owners hadn't colluded to come up with the "InterState" motel consortium. They were both fleapits and we stayed somewhere else -- although it was probably just as bad as they were!

Perhaps, Jackie, rather than unusual names, you should have started a thread on motels with unusual business activities. If you have a competition, I bet Sandra and I would win with our entry from Evansville, Indiana ...
