I recall a tour guide who pointed toward a huge building and told us 'there is the free hotel'.

The sign said "County Jail"

Several years ago we did a big trip thru a bunch of small towns. We called the local mayors office and asked where we could enjoy their city and 'park' overnight.

Every single call resulted in a place stay.
