> Firstly, love hotels are a sign of not being lonely.

My observation from travel is that love hotels are a sign of multigenerational housing. Young adults need somewhere to go without their parents watching.

In my home country you can rent actual apartments in completely normal buildings by the hour or by the night. Everyone knows for what purpose.

They're actually cheaper and nicer than hotels, so if you're not icky, it's a cheap way to stay in the country ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fascinating, which country is that? Do you just walk in and say that you'd like to rent a room for 2 hours? (These questions make it sound like I want to use this service, but I'm just interested to hear about this concept, lol)
