If you have gone to motels, how clean have you usually found them?

Are they comparable in any way to hostles, or are they much better in tidiness matters? Oh, and my question is in regard to the United States of America.

A Hostel, is any flea and roach infested building where the operator is Only Interested in make profit with the least expense providing "out of the weather" sleeping space with No intention to woo back a traveler.
