The neon, the door, the parking space

The motel is the original American hotel and we still use it when we are being honest. My room was a rectangle with a painting of a boat. The AC worked like it was in a fight. I slept anyway.

This is not a design review. It is a lock-and-curtains review. When those work, the score goes up. When they do not, leave. There is always another rectangle down the road.

Inspect the lock, the smell, and whether the curtains meet. If those three pass, you have a night.
