Crossroads Motel

Location from Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan

A place mostly populated by junkies — the motel Hank called 'The Crystal Palace' where Wendy worked the parking lot and the drug trade's human cost was most visible.

The Crossroads Motel is where Breaking Bad shows the human cost of the drug trade at street level. Wendy — a prostitute and meth user — works the parking lot. Hank brought Walt Jr. here to witness drug abuse effects as a scared-straight tactic. Jesse used it as an alibi. Jimmy picks up Wendy there for the Howard Hamlin scheme in BCS. It's the location where the show's glamour (Walt's empire) meets the show's reality (addiction and poverty).

Appearance

Run-down motel at 1001 Central Ave NE. The kind of place where the clientele tells you everything about the neighborhood. Parking lot full of people who are not there for the rooms.
