Hotels/Motels that take cash.

[Charley3]

I know Motel 6 takes cash but man the one I frequent is gross.

Any other Hotel or Motel chains that also take cash? Thanks!

Hilltop Inn might, but it's gross too. Website for the Jefferson Hills motel says they take cash. I believe the Pittsburgh Motel (also gross...) will also, if you want to risk taking some bedbugs home with you...

I can tell you for sure that Red Roof (at least the one in Robinson) has gone entirely cashless, and they won't check you in unless you present a major credit card, issued by an actual bank that has physical branches, with your name on it - they have signs up saying that they specifically don't accept prepaid gift cards, PayPal cards, Chime, NetSpend, or any other online-only card issuer.

The East Exit in Monroeville.

I think the Siesta in North Versailles.

The Valley Motel in Harmar used to take cash as well.

None of these are much better than the 6 in Crafton.



The Inn Forza in Monaca is cash and is surprisingly nice for $60-90 / night. I get the vibe that the owners have a zero tolerance for shenanigans, and there are cameras in the main hallways, so I would be cautious of doing nefarious things there.

Great suggestions!
My favorite friend is in the Washington Pa area. Any suggestions down there other than the Motel 6.
I think Days Inn might but I called and talked to a foreigner who made no sense to me.

Days Inn is a Wyndham brand, I'd expect they have a chain-wide policy requiring a major credit card on checkin, at least for "incidentals", or so they have something to run a charge against if you violate the non-smoking policy or something.

Another possibility, depending on how paranoid you want to be. Even major hotel brands that absolutely require a credit card at check-in will usually let you settle up in cash when you check out. A lot of times, they'll run an authorization for the room charge, but if you settle up in cash at checkout, the authorization gets released and nothing ever gets charged to your card (so nothing shows up on your statement). Though make absolutely sure what the hotel actually does, before you depend on that idea.

Is that the place behind eat-n-park and Wendy’s? If so, they’ll take cash if you have enough of it. Stopped in with the infamous Starla Sin, who was working out of a cluttered garage a stone’s throw from there, maybe 18 months ago. The guy said he needed a card so I wrapped the room fee plus an extra $50 around a sheetz coffee card and he gave us the room.

All hotels are currently required by PA law to keep a guest registry, even if they accept payment in cash. Name and address of the guest along with dates of arrival and departure must be logged and saved for 3 years. The state allows (but does not require) hotel operators to demand a photo ID for purposes of filling out the registry, so in practice, every hotel in PA will ask to see ID.

Perry O Inn & Suites in Perryopolis has hot tubs and used to take cash. Not sure if they still do. Was a little over a year ago.

The Perry O! Many, many years ago, I used to take my high school sweetheart there and do all the things her daddy warned me not to do to her every time we could scrape the $30 together for a room. They were one of the few places that would give you a room if you were under age as long as you weren't throwing a party in the room.

Most not in my area. I did discover that Hyatt Places take cash(at least the one in Robinson does).
They do take credit card info but you can pay cash at checkout.
That brings into the awkward check-out 2 hours after check-in. lol ….so cash at check-in is definitely preferred. I don’t like looking that obvious.

I think we’re talking about the same one. Behind McDonald’s though. Iv been using the Motel 6 across street. It’s terrible and lot of noisy people hanging outside. Don’t know why I got away from Days.
