Indians from India own almost all the small motels in the USA
It's really pretty interesting to read up on the Patel clan and it's tentacles.....they'll start out with a Super 8 in Nowheresville and get "promoted" up to maybe a Holiday Inn Express -- with really no end in sight.

I hadn't thought much about the names of the motel owners, only that they seemed Hindu-ish.
But next time I stay at a Super 8 or La Quinta, I'll be on the lookout for the Patel moniker!

Not sure but I believe the "Patel" is Hindi for "Jones". In Polish it would be "Gorski".

Patel is the name-means “innkeeper” that the British assigned to the innkeepers in India when the Raj them all take surnames. Patels aren’t necessarily interrelated.
