👉 Motel fumes refer to the lingering, often unpleasant odors that can permeate rooms in older or poorly maintained motels, typically caused by chemicals used for cleaning, pest control, and other maintenance purposes. These can include ammonia-based sprays, disinfectants, and solvents, which may leave behind a chemical scent that can be both irritating and off-putting to guests. The term "motel fumes" also carries a connotation of neglect or subpar service, suggesting a space that doesn't prioritize cleanliness or guest comfort. Despite efforts to mask these odors, they often persist, creating an atmosphere that can feel unwelcoming or even toxic.
