Short stay rentals in the area

Thank you @spooky7869 for responding. I know that Long Island and Bronx have options but I've struggled in the Westchester and Fairfield County area. Is there a law in CT that prevents per hour rentals as I have not been able to find any places even after calling some hotels/motels/inns ? I could use a place near Norwalk or vicinity for some 2-3 hour rentals. Thank you
Yes, CT was passing a law about short stays end of last year to curtail trafficking, I don't know if it is still alive or if motels are ignoring.
As for short stays, the web sites have not achieved much traction, except for large cities.
You have not detailed where you want your short stay to be near?
Alexander sounds like a good tip, it was not on my radar.
My advice is:
Google map, it shows the price for most lodging, call up the sub 100/night places, and ask about short term rates.
dont be shy you are a salesman on the road and just need to lay down for a few hours.
Also, ask about CASH ONLY, if you are worried about a paper trail of CC.
Also very few will NOT take a copy of your photo id.
Also, depending on your situation, getting a discount room via online may be same/less $ then the short time rate.
NEVER, give the room to the provider if you are done with it, have a story that you are using it later.
WATCH OUT for bed bugs, really!

Alexander is a good spot. So is the Central Motel Courtyard in Hartsdale. Both take cash, but both require an ID too.
If a CC and ID is not a problem, the Hyatt in WP and old Greenwich have day use rates which to me is worth it because you are dealing with a reputable hotel. Plus, you’re less likely to give off skeevy vibes or run into sketchy people.
Lastly, you can try to use Priceline to score last minute hotel deals. I never used it personally, but I knew a civvie who used it regularly when she was stepping out on her hubby. She swore by it and hated motels.

Do you just call them up and say you want to book the room for two hours and pay cash? How much does that usually cost. I miss out on a lot of SBs because that hotel option is not great. The one in Greenwich-you call them and ask for a several hour rate?
When you find a cheap hotel and end up getting the night but only stay fit a couple hours do you need to check out when you’re done?
I would like this as an option but don’t want to deal with an expensive room that finishes the value of a SB hook up.
