I haven’t stayed in a motel since the 80s. Back then civil service had standard per diem for rural areas. The last time I recall it was $50 per day. It was divided in a strange way.
The maximum for room was $23 and for meals it was $27. Now back then you could eat at nice places for far less than that but motels were often higher than $23. I would often have to ask if they would accept the government rate. Nearly all of them would.
“I remember when motel 6 was actually $6.”
There’s dirt younger than you! ;)
If I was an ICE agent, I would make a deal with motel owners: call us whenever you get somebody we should take an interest in, and we will not look closely at your staff.

That’s irony isn’t it? They call ICE on a guest, but yet...
We’re paying for that lawyer.

Does ICE show up to a motel room in six hours based on a phone call? Somehow there is more to the story.
Do yourself a solid and skip the Motel 6.

I’ve paid over $100 a night for a Motel “6”. In Miami of all places.
Oh, the irony.
That card is probably accepted to vote in many ares of this country/
My wife and I will soon be checking into a 5 star lodge by the Ocean.
We have been going to this lodge for decades. We are prime guests with the credit line approved for years. We go about once a quarter.
Guess what, when I check in, I still have to show my California Driver’s License at the desk with my vehicle license number before we can check in. In spite of knowing the desk clerk for years.
If Juan/Jose/Maria or anyone has a problem with showing an ID to check in to any hotel/motel, change the damn laws.
That has been the legal requirement since 911!
Maybe the US Government should consider offering a bounty on illegals .... say $20.
Wow, Mexico knows Mexicans. If there was such thing as an American voter ID card the 'rats would never win another election.

A Motel 6 I stay at quite frequently just did that with me last week. It must be a new corporate policy.
As long as they are clean, I don't mind staying in a Motel 6. It's usually just me traveling alone for business. “Have gun will travel.”
“Well I’m glad that some clerk is doing this but I will pass at staying in those fleabags.”
You can always stay at New York City’s finest:

I’m with you...been there dozens (if not hundreds) of nights. Never had a real problem, although one outside of Atlanta had locals outside...so I just stayed locked in, and noise once in a while. But that’s about it. Love saving the money, much better things to do with it.
I saw that policy at several of them last month, all using the same equipment, so it’s definitely chain-wide.
My company pays all my expenses so I can stay at nicer places if I want.
Sometimes I’ll stay at a nicer place that is more like a suite if I have a lot of computer work to do. Otherwise, all I need is WiFi, a bed, and a TV.
I sometimes like to stay in some of the old mom and pop type motels along the highway. As long as they are clean I don’t mind going “old fashioned”.
