Why are there so many hotels in america? And more are being constructed

I see. I think it's strange though that almost every small town or interstate exit has one or multiple full fledged hotels like pic related. As well as even more motels. How the hell can they all stay in business?

It's one of the most profitable use of land.

Alternatively, mold is a common problem with hotels - a combination of having similar construction plans being used in the North and South (vapor barriers need to layered differently depending on climate), shut tenants, and all the air-conditioners are run at full max - so insurance companies are always paying to rebuild hotels. many are also being rebuilt now with icf (insulated concrete forms) which reduce energy costs enough to often justify new constitution. It also fixes the issues with mold and limits noise between rooms and with the outside Interstate noises.

The banks caused the crash tho

This

Need a place for people visiting to crash
Need a place for people to fuck without worrying about the mess or being caught
Need a place for drunks who can't get home to crash


Every town needs at least a cheap motel.

Because people travel a great majority by car, and we have a lot of places not near an airport or major city center. They need somewhere to sleep.

Its just that your country is so fucking small you can go from one end to the other in about 20 minutes. You dont need a place to sleep for the night. Alll is fine.

hotels are like grocery stores

people need food

people need a place to sleep


many hotels, even in the middle of no where, make most of their money around the holidays and 'business convention' weeks.

businessmen, distract management, salesmen, etc use hotels all over the place.

Yeah. But do tens of thousands of people stop and sleep in Springfield, Missouri for example? Every single night. When there are thousands of other hotels and motels on the interstates. It just sounds a little wasteful and unprofitable.

It doesn't need to be thousands of people. Hotels don't operate on being booked at full capacity.

Simply not true. My closest town (50k population) is a 3-3.5 hour drive away. A 12 hour drive is a short drive for me. Because distances are big between here in northern norway. Remember that Scandinavia is underpopulated as opposed to southern and western europe. At least in rural areas.

>>129227627

And there are not "thousands of other motels on the interstates"...you can go hundreds of miles without finding a hotel in some parts of the midwest and mountain west.

None the less, the market is saturated. I've done a cross country road trip through america and it's insane the amount of wasted hotel rooms.

But anyway. I'm not going to argue anymore. After all, it is your country.

>It just sounds a little wasteful and unprofitable.
Whatever your opinion on the matter, they are profitable, even if not extravagantly profitable. The owners often work and live there and afford themselves a living wage. Motels wouldn't exist otherwise. There are multiple motels in tiny ~5k population towns that have been in business for decades, I've stayed in several while traveling. My city has dozens of motels and hotels, many of which are, again, decades old.

Low minimum wage and lots of land allow Americans to make a profit even in these conditions. I like it desu, France is so cramped and shitty in comparison. Feels like we're in the middle ages compared to suburban america.

There are a ton of people traveling on the roads at any given time. These people need places to sleep. Hence why they exist just off the highway. Also the overhead isn't huge because the people working there get paid next to nothing.

Where did you go? I drove out west to death valley, and was amazed to see no one at all after driving for an hour. Those signs that say "no services for 90 miles" ? You're fucked if you don't gas up like you are supposed to.
