3 come to my mind. The first was in the early 90's when I was in the process of moving my parents from CA to GA. I was driving my dad's car and towing a trailer. It was 2AM and I had put in 16 hours of driving so I pulled in to Shamrock TX and stopped at the first motel that I saw with a vacancy sign. It was cheap but the room smelled bad. The carpet was all rumpled and the pictures on the wall were in shreds. I had a couple of drinks and passed out. In the morning the sink was clogged up so I said fuck it and checked out.
The second one was in Memphis TN in the mid 90's. I was in town to visit the infamous Platinum Plus. So I took a motel room that was close by for $25/night. I think it was the Memphis Inn or something like that. Around 11PM some one was trying to open the door to my room. WTF I asked? Guy said it was his room. So off to the office we go. They had tried to rent my room to some one else. Good thing for safety locks.
The 3rd one was in Hermosillo in the early 70's. My best friend and I were on a fishing trip from SO. CAL to a bass lake 100 miles east of Hermosillo. We were in my overhead camper pickup truck but decided to spend the night in a motel room because we were going to be in the camper for the next 3 nights. The room was $2/night. Yes I said $2. For that you got a room with no key. You just went in and bolted the door behind you. 2 single beds with horse blankets. No TV and no hot water. Thank goodness for tequila.
