 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States (1964)
Notwithstanding such states' rights–based challenges, the Court in the Heart of Atlanta Motel and McClung cases unanimously held that the sweeping antidiscrimination provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act were a proper exercise of Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
One such challenger was the Heart of Atlanta Motel, which brought suit to secure invalidation of the act, because—stated in the Supreme Court's opinion—it "had followed a practice of refusing to let rooms to Negroes, and it alleged that it intended to continue to do so."
The constitutional difficulty was that none of Congress's enumerated powers unequivocally supported enactment of this "public accommodations" feature of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and challengers assailed the legislation as impinging on state prerogatives to regulate local matters free from federal interference.

 Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States
Since Congress has the power to regulate commerce, and interstate travel is a part of commerce, and a motel could conceivably be a part of commerce/travel, it is under the umbrella of the commerce clause and subsequently any Act (Title II) passed by Congress.
Article 1, ยง 8, clause 3 (commerce clause): Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution empowers the United States Congress "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes".
Since hotels, inns and the like were covered under the Act as being places where travel and commerce happened to come through on a regular basis, the motel in Atlanta was not exempt from abiding by this law.
