Cheap Motels

It came up recently that I dislike better-grade motels because it's awkward to deal with lots of big, heavy, equipment cases if you have to drag them through a central entry, down a hall, and into a nice "secure" room with no direct entry from the outside. Most older, cheaper places are set up so you can pull right up to the door of your room. They also tend to have a microwave and a small refridgerator to appeal to customers who wouldn't be caught dead calling room service anyhow. Of course I also like spending less money. On top of that, cheap motels just seem to provide endless picture opportunities.

If there is a restaurant or dining room adjacent, it's usually good for a picture or two as well.

Good stuff here. I agree with you about cheap hotels and easy access. I don't carry nearly as much stuff as you do but it sure makes a difference in ease of moving in. But now that I have all my stuff in the room including laptop and cameras I worry about leaving the room to go eat. So I try to find a KFC and a 7-11 then go check in and unload.
