Motels are the Winchester's place to stay whenever they come into a town for hunting job. Other hunters besides the Winchesters stay at motels as well. Motels are also low key, so it won't arise suspicion when they come into town. This way they can leave and come unnoticed. When they check into a room, they always put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, so the maids don't see what they're doing (or have done) in their room. Hunters also tend to post their notes around the room to help them figure out their current job.
During the Leviathan-outbreak in 2011, Sam and Dean avoided motels since they can be tracked by their credit cards to the location. After inheriting the Men of Letters bunker as their new home, Sam and Dean still use motels while going on hunts that are far away.
Due to a hunter's low income, they usually rent cheap, dingy motels. On rare occasions they manage to sleep in a high class hotel.
History[]
The Winchester Temporary Home[]
Sam and Dean practically grew up in motel rooms. John would leave them there while he was hunting. Living in a motel was normal for Sam and Dean. Motels also became a code for the boys to find each other in The Usual Suspects. A motel is also where they conduct research using a laptop. Sam and Dean generally sleep in separate beds and in the same room.
