Depending on my clients & projects I get to travel and stay at some cheap ass hotels. Here in Germany there is a chain called Etap, which is very cheap & frugal. I liked that Spartan lifestyle. I don’t need no telephone, bible or fancy images on the wall. Give me a nice quiet and clean room, a hot shower and wireless LAN and I am happy.
Motel-One is a new contender in the field and a good one. Still very cheap (€55) per night and very nice rooms. Feels like living in an High-End-Ikea showroom. The colours are fancy and a bit arty-farty, but it’s also very minimalist.
Breakfast is acceptable and digestible - not as bad as at the Etap-Hotels. Most of all I love the WiFi at Motel-One - which is free in the Lobby, but costs you some extra Euros if you want some in the comfort of your room. Since I am a lecher and love surfing butt naked I choose the later option …

And as you are aware, here in the US we have Motel 6 and worse. As Tom Bodet, the fellow who makes advertisement for Motel 6 says, “When you turn out the lights one motel room is just like another.” Well not quite. When you have more than just a feeling you are being carried away by bugs you’ll have wished you spent more and gotten a decent room.
@RichMc: Haven’t done any business travel in the US - at least never needed to stay in a Hotel. I think there is currently a trend here in Europe with classy, but cheap business hotels. Since the no-thrills-airlines have made such an impact - hotels needed to offer comparable products.
