Black Flag also marketed a related insect trap, the "Flyport," designed to deal with unwanted flying insects like houseflies, with the tagline, "Lots of arrivals, but no departures!" It was less successful than the Roach Motel.

a roach motel is a strip club that got tainted and all the girls have hiv or aids or some kind of sexual disease or sexual infection and every stripper in the club, you do not want a lap dance or have sex with anyone at a roach motel.
i can't believe this place is a roach motel now...i use to fuck so many girls all the time and blew so much money that they all retired, they hard to work hard at it, it wasn't no quick fuck. other girls wishing they didn't blow me off still stripping decades later

A motel that has been bought out by people of East Indian descent, especially owned by someone often (but not always) with the surname of Patel, due to most (but not all) Patels being part of the Indian caste for owning land, and also because it rhymes (Jat Motel doesn't have the same ring to it), most often by buying out a defunct motel location "as-is" and making no efforts to improve the property after acquisition.
Normally this should be insignificant, but if you land a cheap motel in a state of disrepair and just barely meeting habitability standards and/or has bad housekeeping, there's a good chance your motel is Indian-owned (but as repeatedly emphasized, not always). "Patel Hotel" can also be used when applicable to a hotel (especially the OYO Hotel franchise).

I tried to be open-minded when I saw a statue of Ganesha while checking in, but the towels are brownish gray, the bed has a popped-out spring held in place by duct tape, half of the hallway lights are burnt out, and getting woken up by a cockroach crawling on my face are facts too hard to ignore the fact that I accidentally reserved a Patel Motel.
