Miller's Motel doesn't really look like a motel. Is this just maybe a handful of rooms for rent, like small 1-story townhomes with just the basics?

When I see this picture, knowing he did odd jobs for the motel owner, it makes me wonder if the owner is one of those nice guys that's always trying to help somebody out. Iow, did he have any other long term occupants? Does he rent to people that seem lost so he tries to help them? If so, it could explain why he didn't question the ex gf's motives in packing up & moving out Eric's belongings.
