garage motel
A law-enforcement term for a hotel that hides its main purpose -- providing kinky rooms for brief trysts for, say, two cheaters or a john and his escort. Garage motels feign respectability by calling l themselves "hotels" -- yet they feature indoor garages and internal staircases to protect identities of visitors., making them more expensive than "regular" motels. Garage motels rent rooms which may include mirrors on ceilings and heart-shaped beds.
The FBI explained that the 2006 Brink's robbery in Miami became especially serious after one of the robbers was kidnapped and taken to a garage motel to be tortured in secret. Though the place called itself the Princess Hotel, they soon learned it was a garage motel that made a lot of money renting out discreet access to rooms for an hour at a time.
