No fluke, Indians are 'big' in the motel business in
the Southern and Western sections of the US.  Usually,
they are family-run and are small, though some have
branched out to the likes of Ramada Inns and Rodeway
Inns.  These lodging-Indians predominately come from
Gujarati-speaking communities like the Patels, Jains,
and Ismailis [Aga Khanis].  Many are immigrants from
[formerly British] East Africa.

If anyone has had any positive or negative experiences
with any of these Indian-run motels, you may want to
let others know as they may want to especially seek
or avoid lodging at these places as they journey across
the United States.
