That's strange, since most motel TV's are not much different than regular consumer TV's. Besides some motel TV's having a built in radio, 75 ohm coax input, provision for a theft alarm, or special features in the microprocessor that does not allow any remote to access the menu; they are the same as other TV's.

BTW, I knew a guy who would only work on Magnavox TV's. He worked for a local Magnavox dealer for years and, in the late '70's, he went out on his own and worked out of his basement. If it wasn't a Magnavox set, he wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I guess there must have been enough Magnavox set owners to keep him in business because he kept his shop open until around '89-'90. With the current state of TV repair, I don't think you would be able to pick out only one brand to repair. Instead, you'd have to fix as many brands as possible in order to keep your head above water.
