are cheap motels really that dirty in the us?
We’re planning a road trip down the Gulf Coast, and I’ve been scouring the internet for affordable motels—think Motel 6, Days Inn, Red Roof Inn. But every time I check the reviews, it’s like a horror show: people complaining about unchanged sheets, hair in the shower, sticky floors, even cockroaches. I’m not picky—I’ve stayed in plenty of budget places before, but the idea of finding someone else’s hair on my pillow or waking up to a bug crawling across the nightstand is just… ugh.
I get that online reviews can sometimes blow things out of proportion, but is it really that bad? Or is it just a few unlucky folks making a fuss? I don’t want to spend half my trip worrying about what I might find under the covers. Anyone else ever feel like you’re rolling the dice every time you book a cheap motel in the States? I can’t help but wonder if I’m being too cautious, or if these reviews are actually spot on. It’s hard to know what’s just internet drama and what’s a real warning sign. I’d love to hear if anyone else has braved these places and lived to tell the tale—or if I should just pack my own sheets and hope for the best.
