ideal trysting places (or the "hot trade" in industry lingo). Even the famous outlaws Bonnie
and Clyde were frequent guests, using motels as hideouts. The motels' potential for breeding
lust and larceny alarmed then FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover, who attacked motels and auto
camps in an article he penned called "Camps of Crime", which ran in the February 1940
issue of American Magazine.
Motels differed from hotels in their emphasis on largely anonymous interactions
between owners and occupants, their location along highways (as opposed to urban cores),
and their orientation to the outside (in contrast to hotels whose doors typically face a
hallway).
With the 1950s introduction of Kemmons Wilson's Holiday Inn, the 'mom and pop'
motels of that era went into decline. Eventually, the emergence of the interstate highway
system, along with other factors, led to a blurring of the motel and the hotel. Today, family
owned motels with as few as five rooms may still be found along older highways, but their
lifespans appear to be short. The quality and standards of every independent motel differ so
it is always wise to cruise around for good motel before settling in a room.
In seedy areas, motels also tend to be located near strip clubs, for the purpose of
engaging in sexual activity. Motels are often places of prostitution and drug crime. Motels
are also often inhabited by down-and-out and low-income people as well.
The largest and the more well-known budget motel chain is Motel 6. It has numerous
locations throughout the United States and southern Ontario, Canada.
