Fracking boom effect on motel availability

I read somewhere (here maybe?) that the US fracking boom has hoovered up a lot of motel rooms in the eastern states.

We didn't notice that last August on a trip to the Gap, but I wonder if that will be different this year. Anyone able to confirm this and if so which states or parts there of?

Thank in advance
 
you can check airbnb.com as an alternative. its people who rent out rooms and basements of their houses for nominal fees
 
Well I can't speak to PA. this year, I can tell you that in the spring in WV. between Beckley and Morgantown many, many of the Super Eights etc. were indeed full of folks from Texas, Oklahoma and other places. Lots and lots of Halliburton trucks in the parking lots. Now not all rooms are taken by these guys but lots are, so you can't rely on getting a room if you leave it to late. If you are in that part of the world I'd get off the road before six, giving you a little more flexibility. Just my opinion though.
