Overnight Rest stop with Low Cost Bed

If you're going to build a parking lot big enough for all these trucks to park, you might as well just charge for parking and have showers and laundry machines inside the building.

 

Doesn't smell like marijuana and I don't see more than 1 ####roach.

DISCLOSURE: Never happened with a room that was under even $70

 

Here's some history: Back in the 1930's, there were a lot of 'bunk houses' at truckstops, where a driver could get a bed and fresh linens for maybe a quarter (with a fuel purchase). Many LTL carriers also maintained bunk houses of their own. Even the PA Turnpike had a bunkhouse at the Midway plaza, the one east of Pittsburgh where there are stop on each side. Their used to be a tunnel under the turnpike, and the turnpike authority ran it. Back in those days, few trucks had sleepers.
By the 50's, beatniks and bums learned that bunkhouses were a place to sleep cheap, and bedbugs became a problem. By the 60's, they became a popular place for hippies, drug dealers and hustlers, and one after another ended up getting closed down either by local vice squads or by the health department. Union carriers started demanding real motel rooms for drivers, and by the 1980's, only a few non-union carriers still had bunkhouses. I believe Overnite may have been one of the last.
