Drive probably 500 miles per day and stay at motel over night and then start next day for another 500 miles drive How should I figure out if a particular motel is good or not?If anyone has experience driving same number of miles in the same direction, please share or advise.



Best Answer

How 'good' do you need it to be?

A room at any of the major hotel chains will be a clean, comfortable sleeping spot.

Smaller mom & pop places can be nice as well, I usually check their outside appearance first... clean parking lot, hanging plants, a bit of outside furniture.

Most small motels will let you see the room before paying.
