Always on short time basis (1-4h) and always with the "love" factor... perhaps the portuguese Wikipedia article translated to english [2] would help on clarifying that.<br><br>2: <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=pt-BR&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpt.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMotel">http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=pt-BR&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpt.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMotel</a><br>

</div>do you pay them on a short time basis or could you stay there the<br>
whole night for the same price? If it's the first, I would tag them<br>
differently, otherwise I think they could be tagged like normal<br>
motels.<br>
<br>
