I've stayed in a lot of seedy-looking motels throughout the West. My parents loved long road trips when I was growing up, and the hotel choices in places like Lakeview, Oregon are slim pickings. However, none of the places that looked like they might be a bad experience turned out to be a bad experience--they were all clean and nice (I'm looking at you, Oregon 8 in Klamath Falls and Rimrock in Lakeview).
The worst motel I ever stayed in was a Motel 6 in Sacramento, while on a road trip to California with friends. I would never, ever stay there again, and they've completely ruined me for the Motel 6 chain. 2 of our towels had stains on them, and the room was just icky and gross. After that, we decided it wasn't worth being frugal and we would be better off staying at a Holiday Inn Express. I very much wish that we had stayed at the Best Western Sandman across the street instead of the Motel 6.
