How do you get a free hotel room?

[Framese]

Is there anyone that has a solid theory on getting hotel rooms for free? I wonder if there's a certain kind of person that puts up travelers. Is there a state they're from, or a universal way to put asking to share a room with someone you don't know, but with no hidden requirement?

I feel like a whole field of study could be oriented around this. I never go to bars, so I have no idea how to typify stuff I've heard people say that scored a free room.

I would guess just hang around the $1 store with a sign for this specific purpose, and ignore the few shady characters (people with meth or cocaine habits or confederate flags.)

I think a lot of collaboration on this matter could help people who can't get into homeless shelters because they have no I.D., or who are getting kicked out of the Flying J parking lot.

In most states you can call the cops on yourself and they will get you a motel depending on the state. I've heard it has been done. In Wyoming they have sisters of the road or something along that name, oh st cristophers of the road and they give you gas vouchers, motel & McDonald's cards...

What if you set up with a grill and gave away free food next to the hotel? Or staged a car wash there? You could even enlist a guest.

Man it's hard to get anything for free nowadays but if you have a membership you get credits towards free rooms but some motels will let you stay there if you work there as far as i know
