WHY HANSEN MOTEL IS A BETTER CHOICE THAN HOTELS?

You know that moment after hours on the highway when your shoulders ache and all you want is a bed? That’s where the choice hits: do you pull into a shiny hotel tower, or do you go for the little roadside motel that’s right there when you need it? People are quick to assume hotels are better because they’re bigger. Truth is, when you’re on a road trip, bigger doesn’t always mean better. The best motel in town - Hansen Motel is the answer to the question. We have been the forerunners of the motel industry and look forward to serving each person who comes through our doors.

Lesser Fuss

Think about this. You’ve been driving all day, maybe missed a couple of exits, maybe stopped too long for lunch. You’re tired. Now picture pulling up to a hotel, parking garage, dragging your bags through the lobby, waiting for an elevator while people in suits come and go. Not fun. A motel? You park, grab your stuff, open the door, and crash. Done. It’s the definition of easy.

Your Pocket Stays Happy

Road trips eat money in sneaky ways. Gas, snacks, and little detours, suddenly the budget looks tight. Hotels love stacking on fees: resort charges, “service fees,” breakfasts that aren’t free. Motels keep it simple. You pay for the room, you get the room. Clean bed, hot shower, maybe a cup of coffee in the morning. That’s it. The money you don’t spend on the room? Spend it on something that makes the trip fun. A local diner, a random roadside attraction, maybe that extra slice of pie.

Built For Pitstops

Hotels often feel designed for conferences or business trips. Bright lobbies, big gyms, event rooms. Road trippers don’t care about any of that. Motels were built for people driving through. Park outside the door, quick check-in, out again in the morning. It fits the rhythm of the road.

Some Character

Here’s a secret about hotels: they all feel the same. Same carpet, same furniture, same vibe, no matter where you are. Comforting, maybe, but also bland. Motels, on the other hand, usually reflect the place they’re in. Sometimes it’s the sign out front, sometimes the décor, sometimes just the way the staff talks to you. It feels less like you’ve dropped into a system and more like you’ve stumbled into a spot with its own story.

Easy Check-In And Check-Out

One of the best parts? The speed. Big hotels take forever. Parking, check-in, elevators, it’s a process. Motels strip all of that away. You’re in the room minutes after arriving, and in the morning, you’re on the road just as fast. That flow matters when you’re chasing daylight or trying to make it to the next state before dark.

A Friendlier Stop 

Road trips aren’t meant to be polished. They’re messy, unpredictable, full of small surprises. That’s exactly what motels capture . They don’t try to impress; they just fit the journey.
