When I was traveling a lot I would stay at hotels in the Marriott or Hilton chain and accumulate loyalty points and then redeem them for free rooms. Now that I've retired Super 8 looks fine for now.
Check out some of the websites. There are some great deals sometimes. I stayed in a nice super 8 across the street from Disneyland in Anaheim once for $55.00 per night. I also stayed in aCourtyard Marriott in Dallas for $55.00 also
I've never done OTC but when I do, I'll probably go to WyndhamRewards.com and search for the mid-level motel closest to the club in question. My impression is that a stripper would be satisfied with a Super 8 or Travelodge and wouldn't expect a Sheraton or Hilton. I always have beaucoup Wyndham Rewards points anyway.
Look for what appears to be a 1970s vintage motel. Ask at the front desk if they have hourly rates. I have found several that give you three hours for $25. Most recently: one in STL and one in south suburban CHI.
There are a lot of hotels near airports that offer rooms by the hour or by partial days. Its intended to accommodate travelers with layovers, but us OTC'ers can take advantage of it.
