seedy motel
Sketchy overnight lodging
A seedy motel is a cheap, run-down roadside lodging with a disreputable atmosphere—the kind of place that rents rooms by the hour and doesn't ask questions.
The seediness suggests neglect, questionable clientele, and activities best left unexamined: They checked into a seedy motel off the interstate.
The phrase evokes neon signs with missing letters, stained bedspreads, and a general air of decline.
