The Moonlight Motel is a fictional motel featured in the CW Network television series Supernatural. It was featured in episode seven of season four, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester".
History
The Moonlight Motel was a small motel located in an otherwise unidentified American city. Sam and Dean Winchester stayed there while investigating two bizarre murders that took place on October 29th and October 30th, 2008. Sam researched material inside the motel room and determined that the one responsible for the murders was a witch, who was an acolyte of Samhain.
The angels Castiel and Uriel appeared at the Moonlight Motel to tell Sam and Dean that the rise of Samhain represents breaking one of the Seals of Lilith. As they were unable to track down the witch on their own, they were instructed by God to implement a Scorched Earth policy on the town, which would have wiped out all 1,214 residents and naturally the Moonlight Motel as well. Sam and Dean prevented this from happening and thus the motel remained as it was. They also voiced their displeasure with the angels' tactics, calling them both "dicks".
On the day after Halloween, Uriel appeared at the Moonlight Motel to warn Sam that the only reason he is still alive is because he is useful. Offended by Sam's "profane blood", Uriel added that the moment he ceases to be useful, he would turn him into dust.
The Astronaut kid
Outside of this particularly harrowing case, the Moonlight Motel is also where Dean encountered a pudgy young boy dressed as an astronaut for Halloween. The boy said "trick or treat", but Dean told him that they didn't have anything to give him and that he should probably lay off the candy anyway. The boy avenged this slight against his figure by egging Dean's cherished 1967 Chevy Impala. When Dean came outside and saw the dried egg drippings on his windshield, he knew exactly who was responsible and shouted "Astronaut!" across the motel parking lot.
