Mainly a motel for
midnight by passers (tired truckers and long distance travelers), the economy suite crowd (chasers), and
casual-discreet (
sex and/or drug) encounters. It'
s like any other national (generic) hotel chain, such as Days Inn, Red Roof Inn, LaQuinta, Howard Johnson, Ramada, and etc. Usually, not too
fancy or too run down (depends on locations, though) more of a come and go place, unlike a resort or higher-end hotel. Very basic (cable/iron/hot
water/hot meal services, not always though), but affordable nightly/weekly rates.
Though in some regions and towns, Super 8 may have more reasonable rates than some of the other national chains. Depends on the package deals, types of services, and competition, but nevertheless inexpensive for the average person, traveling groups, or family.
