== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' had a number of adventures regarding love hotels. Akemi luring Godai to one in a failed attempt to get Kozue to dump him (and stir up Kyoko in the process) may be the most notorious.
* The OVA episode of ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' featured a visit to a love hotel that was placed in a strangely rural, idyllic area.
* In one episode of ''[[Love Hina]]'', Naru panics when it appears that Keitaro is dragging her towards a love hotel. [[Not What It Looks Like|It turns out]], of course, that he's more interested in the sticker booth. Also, Mutsumi takes Keitaro to one, and he wakes up naked wondering what he's doing there. It seems that Mutsumi is pretty clueless about what they are.
** In the manga, {{spoiler|Keitaro and Naru actually ''do'' go to a (tastefully decorated) love hotel to get funky. In typical anime/manga fashion, they are interrupted. By a giant tortoise and his looks-like-a-tan-Shinobu owner.}}
* [[Futari Ecchi|Makoto and Yura of ''[[Futari Ecchi]]'' go to one at the end of every date. There is even one on the street where they live. And Yuuko, a minor character, has been stated to have collected matchboxes from ''over 100 different love hotels'' she has visited with her boyfriend.
* ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has one in episode 15, complete with funky lights and a single rotating bed that the residents of each room have to share. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* In an episode of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', Belldandy is unwittingly brought to what appears to be a love hotel by the [[The Casanova|Casanova-ish]] [[Recurring Character]]. In the manga version of this incident, she recognized the decor once she was inside ... because Urd had earlier redecorated Keiichi's room to resemble a love hotel room.
** In a later manga chapter, Belldandy and Keiichi get caught in the rain, and the only pace they can find to shelter is a love hotel. They can't bring themselves to go in - which causes problems for other people who do want to ... make use of the facility.
* Episode 3 of ''[[High School Girls]]'' is focused on a love hotel.
