some motels during weekends do not allow for entrance at random hours of the day, making it a requirement to enter at specific times, usually midnight for a twelve hour stay.

rates are always posted near the entrance to the motel, so that they are accessible via foot or via car.

payment is made upon exiting, but guests must first call the reception to get an attendant to check the room and verify if any food or drinks were consumed - typically, a free coffee is served with the bill.
