The Airline Motel sits on Airline Rd. in Muskegon, Mich. It is one of three motels right in row — the Alpine Motel, and the Bel-Aire Motel are further from the highway. The Bel-Aire is quite picturesque, and the Alpine seems recently painted. Therefore, Airline was the obvious choice. Upon checking in, the clerk asked [...]

Hot Babes in a Murder Motel: Jim Williams Motel [NSFW]
Yet another model shoot, this time with Jasmine and Jade in the Jim Williams Motel in Grand Rapids, MI. This motel was gross, but at least felt a little less serial killer-y than most motels found on Division Ave. in Grand Rapids. The room was also HUGE for some reason (with a tiny bed and [...]
Sleep in a Camper in a Brooklyn Junkyard
I know that we ordinarily stay in trashy roadside motels or looming hotels in a state of disgrace… but sometimes, when we can, we like to stray from the our dubious comfort zones. While visiting New York this March, we happened across an interesting lodging opportunity: renting out a renovated camper in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. [...]
The Don-El Motel — Peninsula, OH
The Don-El Motel sits on a quiet stretch of road in Summit County, OH. The town is called Peninsula, and it’s about a half hour north of Akron. We were be interested in this area of Ohio for two reasons: 1.) it was on the way to New York. 2.) We’d read about a place [...]
Brickrete Motel — Grand Rapids, MI
Being that this motel is in our home town, we rarely think of it as an option. However, one time I pulled into the motel just to check it out and a man in one of the rooms turned around very slowly, lifted a two liter (or is it three liter?) of Faygo to his [...]
Tales from Florida: Photographer/Filmmaker Cary Longchamps Gets Weird in Motels
Sometimes, people tell us stories about their motel experiences. Filmmaker and photographer Cary Longchamps of Naples, FL is no stranger to gross motels. A family connection, a passion for breaking into abandoned buildings, and a serendipitous music video are all pieces of his combined motel history. But he’ll tell you himself… A filthy motel room… [...]
The Oasis Motel — Jackson, MS
The Oasis Motel in Jackson, MS is one of several motels around 220. And much like any place where you can find a smattering of roadside motels, it’s pretty much surrounded by sprawl. KFC, Family Dollar, Cash Advance… you know. The thing about the Oasis is that it’s the cheapest. They’re all cash only, but [...]
Party in the Lazy-T Motel [NSFW album]
Continuing our “Babes in a Murder Motel” photo shoot series, we had models Jasmine, Rachel, and Ashlie meet up with photographer Jason Hite at the Lazy-T Motel in Grand Rapids, Mich. It really is amazing how three hot, naked girls can make cheap wood paneling, cigarette-burned furniture, and general filth look good. We enjoyed a game of strip [...]
Dear MurderMotels…: The Cecil Hotel, Los Angeles
Sometimes, people send us letters about motels they’ve stayed at before and think we should check out. Or motels they’ve driven past with a morbid curiosity. This week has been a busy one for our inbox on account of The Cecil Hotel. This cheap, downtown Los Angeles hotel made headlines after the body of a [...]
Babes in a Murder Motel Room [NSFW album]
This weekend, hot babes and models Jasmine and Amanda joined me for a photo shoot. Keeping it real, we shot in one of the most disgusting motels in Grand Rapids. (Bonus points to those of you that recognize the motel. Juliet posted about it awhile back.) Despite the creepy-probably-sex offenders all leering at the girls as [...]
