   So $80 is considered a "cheap room"? How is a person supposed to earn $80 a day to pay for it and have something left?

   Also, cells can have scales? Amazing.

      Have you stayed at hotels? Most people that work don’t stay at hotels and pay the hotel out of pocket.

         I am not from US and with that money I could rent a tiny apartment for 2-3 days. However, I prefer cheaper accomodation. $80 is super expensive if you have no other place to live.

            Motels are not a habitation of last resort by any means. They’re a convenient place to stay while traveling.

            I expect the vast majority of motel patrons are additionally paying a rent/mortgage for their main habitation.
