Rio's Hourly 'Love Motels' Offer Alternative For World Cup Soccer Tourists Amid City's Hotel Shortage

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JUNE 03: A worker poses in front of a low-end "love motel" in the West Zone on June 3, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio's hotel prices have skyrocketed ahead of the World Cup, resulting in a number of them changing policies in order to take advance bookings for tourists seeking alternative accomodations. Love motels have traditionally catered to Brazilian couples seeking a hideaway for encounters for a few hours. Rio de Janeiro has just over 20,000 traditional hotel rooms and the city expects close to 400,000 foreign tourists during the games. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
