Are "adults-only" hotels the same as love motels?
Arranging lodging for a trip to Japan with a friend (we're not dating). I have no issue with love motels in general, but I've never seen one with more than 1 bed per room. I'm looking for hotel rooms with 2 or more beds per room. It would be helpful if I didn't have to look at each "adult-only" hotel room to see if they'd meet our needs.
When looking at sites like Hotels.com or Booking.com, are hotels with an "adults-only" tag/label the same as love motels, which typically have only 1 (large) bed per room and frequently rent rooms for 2-3 hours in addition to overnight? Or are "adult-only" hotels simply hotels that don't allow children to stay there?
Best Answer
I have been to some Hotels in Japan, that were tagged Adult only and not Love Hotels. A lot of traditional hotels (Ryokan) have this tag as well, and you get separate foutons, aswell as dinner and breakfast included.
Most of the Love Hotels do not show up on popular booking sites, and when they do, they are a lot more expensive than the walk-in price.
