!!"A Night at the Katz Motel" features examples of the following tropes:

* BigDamnHeroes: Muriel bashes Katz over the head with a tennis racket as he's strangling Courage.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Muriel calling Eustace "Grandpa".
* GiantSpider: Katz feeds his victims to large spiders.
* HandbagOfHurt: When Eustace scares the leashed-up Courage by imitating a thunderclap, Muriel smacks him with her handbag for it before giving Courage a blanket.
* HellHotel: The Katz Motel qualifies as a hotel that is to be avoided, since it's just a front for Katz to lure in people he can kill.
* InnOfNoReturn: Katz is shown to run one of these. Anyone who stays ends up as spider food for his pets.

* DoubleSubversion: Courage tries to defeat the Cajun Fox by putting a detour sign on the road so that he drives his steamroller into a bunch of rocks blocking the other road. He ignores it, thinking he's too smart for that, and plows over the detour sign, plummeting off a cliff.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This is the one and only episode in which Eustace does not appear.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Cajun Fox ends up getting cooked in his own pot.
