Something to pass the time.

You know, sometimes when I am browsing backpage, I find myself trying to guess the cheap sleazy motel that the pics were taken in.

Like these:

Bed height mirror on wall opposite the bed. Hmm. Maybe The Sun. Or the San Pedro Inn (behind the old TOTS). But the bathroom sink isnt in the right place for either of those.

Relax Inn or San Jose (the newer two story addition rooms) maybe. No, those both have the platform beds with the headboard on the wall.

The green metal door ID's it as someplace built, or remodeled substantially post 1990 (firecodes started requiring a 30 minute door about then).

Gotta admit, this one got me stumped. Anyone recognize the exotic location of this photo shoot?

Looks like the Gardens lol but I would bet those were taken in another place far far away...

You know, that would be a pretty good thread. People taking a crack at the location of BP ads by the background. Sounds like a good brain teaser exercise. (And maybe to just help guys around here realize their Hobby counting coup (sp) )


if its a good idea to be discussing this kind of information in the open; especially if the advertisements are current.....
Green door baymont no? lol Maybe, mirror looks different.

Oh, Dennis, those girls bounce from motel to motel more often than I change my underwear, but the pictures remain the same.

And, as SaKnight82 says, the cheap sleazy motel pictured could easily be on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando.

Just a little fun, to pass the time yesterday waiting for Joe to hit 400. Northwestern was up 21-7 @ the 1/2.

Pepper, look close. Ratted out casings/trim. Badly finished heavy orange peel walls. This place isnt a flag motel, even a low end like Baymont.

Its one of those motels that rents by the hour. Or the week. But rarely for the night. I bet a nice young gal like you never even saw the inside of one of these motels.

Maybe I ought to take you slumming some afternoon. The Fox, the Sun, maybe even the Everkleen.

It's just not advertised that way.

Footlong, cmon, those rentals are cash, off the books. Thats how those folks save up to buy a cheap sleazy motel for their kids as a wedding present.

A city ordinance is gonna stop that about the time the misdemeanor laws stop prostitution.
Lol slumming! Too funny!
flinde, I'm just impressed with your knowledge of hotel room lay outs.
FL -- most of the places have not changed much..

wrapped around your


still works fine for me!!
