Motel X on Highway 50 - Colonial Drive
Here are photos. Note that there is barely readable fine print on the sign which specifies that the $20 is per hour.
The office is on the far left. On the right is a drive through entrance to get to the parking in the back of the hotel.
Hope this helps.
[QUOTE=WayneAshley380;5703969]Still under renovation and the staff needs work.
Get the VIP room in the front not the back.
I went with one girl last week and used a backside rooms.
Went with another girl two days later and got the same room.
It had not been cleaned.
The toy boxes and water bottles were still where we left them.
They tried to charge for all the snacks that were never in the room and for the water again.
I told them to fuck off.
But I like the overall vibe of that one better. Has an almost New Orleans feel somehow[/QUOTE]
MotelX and the Purple Neon Fascia
[QUOTE=SteveCarlter;5747990]Dude. This totally looks like an invite to an overnight stay at your local cop shop. NO way would I even step foot on that sidewalk.[/QUOTE]The place is 100% legit. They have 3 Orlando Locations and other locations in South Florida as well as in Atlanta. Hell, they even have a rewards program for frequent customers. One of the local locations is in a former "rent by the hour" hotel that operated for years and years without issue from LEO. That property, MotelX bought it and remodelled it.
It's not illegal to rent a room. It's not illegal to take a woman to a room. It's not illegal to have sex. What part of that will get you arrested? Unless LEO sees you or hears you actually doing something illegal, if you are doing something illegal, they can't (or shouldn't) bother you. It's not like on TV where LEO busts into a hotel room at the Cloud 9 Motel and arrests you for having an affair with Mrs. Jones.
Two of the local locations have a hidden parking, not visible from the street. The third has a standard Motel parking lot but is somewhat elevated from street level.
Did they choose the best exterior decor? Probably not, it does suggest illicit activity, but it's not illegal and is a part of their business model. It appears they are making it work though. They are just hoping the possible proposed law eliminating hourly hotel rental laws in Florida doesn't come to fruition. If they do pass that one day, I am sure they will adapt to a different business model to be within the law.
