The Crossroads Motel "The Crystal Palace"
Type	Motel
Resident(s)	Wendy

The Crossroads Motel, nicknamed by Hank "The Crystal Palace", is a place mostly populated by junkies.

The location itself is most notably synonmous with the character of Wendy, a prostitute who lives here and "works" the parking lot during the day hours providing sexual favors for money. "The Palace" has been featured many times throughout the series. It is first intoduced in season one when Hank takes Walt Jr. to the motel to witness the deterioration of its denizens due to drug abuse. Hank verbally harasses Wendy and points out to Walter Jr. that her drug abuse has led her to provide "Wendies" or rather, sexual acts to provide for her drugs ("...and the Bag's in the River") .

In the season two, the motel serves as an alibi for Jesse Pinkman he uses it to explain his whereabouts in connection to his vehicle being tracked to Tuco's safehouse. He enlists the help of Wendy to assist in the coverup. DEA agents storm the room, busting down the door, and apprehend Jesse and Wendy where they are taken into custody ("Bit by a Dead Bee").

In season three, the "Palace" is again the background for a musical montage featuring the day-to-day life of Wendy as she works and lives ("Half Measures").
