I’ve stayed at dozens of ~$80 a night motels in my day and never once has it been a negative experience. I check the room over with a UV light regardless, but I’ve never found anything. The service is always under paid burnouts so if you’re cool they’re cool. Plus the vibe is always this beautiful liminal emptyness that you can’t get anywhere else.

I’ve seen roaches, which was gross, but never any bedbugs thank Christ.

  Roaches are easy to avoid picking up. When you travel, take a “kitchen” size garbage bag with you and if you land at a place that’s got roaches and it’s the only available option for the night, put your travel bag into the garbage bag and hang it off of the shower stall rod.
  
  Bedbugs is a sleep in the car option OTOH… Yikes!

    You can sleep in the tub if there’s bed bugs. They can’t grip the surface and do not fly or jump. The caveat being if they are so bad they are climbing to the ceiling and literally falling on you.
