My parents owned a little 14 room motel in the 80s in a a small town in NC. It was mostly truckers that stayed there. When my dad had to run from creditors again, they had to sell it. Bought by jeets even back then. Ran into the ground, literally. It was torn down maybe 15 years after the jeets bought it.
They had friends that ran the other small hotel on the other side of town, same thing. It was sold to jeets and the truckers learned fast and would no longer stay there. They would just head to another nearby town or sleep in their trucks on the side of the highway.
