Motels are the Winchester's place to stay whenever they come into a town for hunting job. Other hunters besides the Winchesters stay at motels as well. Motels are also low key, so it won't arise suspicion when they come into town. This way they can leave and come unnoticed. When they check into a room, they always put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, so the maids don't see what they're doing (or have done) in their room. Hunters also tend to post their notes around the room to help them figure out their current job.
Although, due to the Leviathans on the hunt for them in Season 7, Sam and Dean avoid motels since they can be tracked by their credit cards to the location.
The Winchester Temporary Home[]
Sam and Dean practically grew up in motel rooms. John would leave them there while he was hunting. Living in a motel was normal for Sam and Dean. Even today, Sam and Dean live in motel rooms while doing job, and will continue to. Motels also become a code for the boys to find each other.
When they check into a motel room, they allows get a room with two queen sized beds. In the room itself it has a tv, kitchen area, and sometimes a sofa.

This will explore what hunters do in their rooms, as well as anything notable that happens in the rooms.
Hunter's wall[]
A hunter's wall is crammed with posters, photos and memos, helping them identify the creature. This is first seen in "pilot" when Sam and Dean break into John's old motel room. Bobby also does this, but he hide his news clippings and such in a closet. It is also believed that Sam and Dean do this as well.
