An hour out, getting tired
A road tripper finds a room ahead
They search for a motel in the next town, see a clean room, a fair rate and pets welcome, and call before the exit.

Where a motel website actually helps
A work crew needs rooms
One link books the whole crew
Crews on a job need weekly rates and truck parking. One link shows both and how to book for the group.
The same route next month
Regular travellers come back
A QR code on the key tag saves your site on their phone for the next trip through.
Rooms, the road and repeat guests
How your rooms, directions and repeat guests work on your site
Motel searches happen on the move: "motel near me", "pet friendly motel", "cheap motel", "motel with truck parking", typed from the passenger seat with an hour of driving left. The motel that shows a clean room, a clear rate and a phone number in one glance gets the call.
Be honest with the photos. Current pictures of real rooms, the bathroom and the parking lot build more trust than a flattering shot from ten years ago, and they stop the bad reviews that start with "it didn't look like the pictures".
Directions matter more for a motel than for anyone. Which exit, which side, how to turn in with a trailer, where trucks park. Add what's nearby, the diner, the gas station, the trailhead, and you're the obvious stop.
Work crews and regular travellers are steady money. A page for weekly and crew rates, and a QR code on the key tag that saves your site on their phone, brings them back every time they pass through.
Your QR codes, included

What motels ask us
Can guests book rooms on the site?
If you use a booking system or channel manager, every Book button opens it. Without one, the Call button and a room request form do the job, and many travellers prefer to call anyway.
Can we show weekly and crew rates?
Yes, on a page of their own, with what's included and how to book a block of rooms.
Can we say we have vacancy tonight?
Yes, from the app, in a minute. Change it back when you're full.
Can we show we're pet friendly and have truck parking?
Yes, right at the top. Those details decide a lot of bookings.
We're an older motel. Will the site make it look like something it isn't?
No, and it shouldn't. Clean, honest photos and fair prices are what travellers want, and the site says exactly that.
Is there something smaller than a full website?
Yes, the Digital Business Card: one page with your buttons, your photo and a QR code, $99 a year. Lots of motels use it first and upgrade later.
Will I show up when someone searches "motel near me"?
That depends on more than a website: your Google listing, your reviews and the other motels nearby all count. Our part is a site search engines read easily, with your services, location and contact details clearly laid out.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No setup fee. The draft is free, and after you say yes it's $299 a year. The only thing you'd buy separately is your own domain name, like yourmotel.ca.
See your motel website before you pay anything.
Send us a few details. Your free draft is ready in about 3 days.
