Motels
Budget and midrange motels remain prevalent in Florida; these 'drive-up rooms' are often
near highway exits and along a town's main road. Many are still independently owned, and
thus quality varies tremendously. Some are much better inside than their exteriors suggest:
ask to see a room first if you're unsure. Most strive for the same level of amenities and
cleanliness as a budget-chain hotel.
A motel's 'rack rates' can be more open to haggling, but not always. Demand is the final
arbiter, though simply asking about any specials can sometimes inspire a discount.
The most common motel chains with a presence in Florida include:
