motel room
Traveler's cheap quarters
A motel room is a guest room in a motel—a roadside hotel designed for motorists, with rooms typically accessible directly from the parking lot.
The term carries connotations of cheap, anonymous accommodations: They rented a motel room for the night.
In American culture, motel rooms evoke transience, illicit encounters, and road trips—settings for affairs, crime scenes in noir fiction, and weary travelers passing through.
