Sleep Inns/Comfort Inns/Quality Inns/EconoLodge/Friendship Inns/Rodeway

Moving a little up market relative to Motel 6 and Super 8, the Sleep Inns/Comfort Inns/Quality Inns/EconoLodge/Friendship Inns/Rodeway chains, all run by the same company but at different pricing levels, offer quite good value at some locations, although standards and prices vary between locations quite considerably. As a general rule, and there may be exceptions, Sleep Inn is usually the cheapest brand in this group.

Suisse Chalet

In New England, where the budget motel chains are not so frequently encountered, the Suisse Chalet chain is recommended although their prices are somewhat above the Motel 6/Super 8 level.

Independent Motels

Don't ignore the possibilities offered by independent motels, both in the USA and Canada.

The style of independent motels varies enormously, from the simple but often very pleasant and cost effective "mom and pop" motels (run by a family) to the luxurious (and expensive!).

Because independent motels are not members of chains, making advance reservations is obviously not possible or indeed desirable unless you are familiar with both the area and the property.

Canada

In Canada, where there are less budget motel chains, we recommend that you obtain the extremely useful accommodation guides published by each province. These can be obtained free of charge from, amongst other sources, the "Welcome Centres" often found as you enter a province on a main highway. In Canada, as in the US, there are usually quite a few independent motels to choose from in even the smallest town, and most of these offer excellent value for money.
