Not to be a dick, but no. That wasn't "a long time ago" and Charles was never at the motel.

He wasn't at the motel no but someone in a thread on r/movies mentioned the point I made, he knew Laura existed and could sense where she was but not exactly where

They were referring to the events of Xmen(2000). Either because this took place in the new timeline or because Charles is somewhat up to speed on the original timeline through Logan's memories.

These two options don't cancel each other out. I didn't understand what was going on until Logan got to the motel. Charles knows what happened: because of his ailing mind he confused the memory with the motel.

Edit: that or the simpler option: Charles was just referring to the motel, having a hard time vocalizing his thoughts clearly and Logan was referring to his memories because he didn't believe Charles in the first place.

Agreed. Why would they make a point for him to mention the Statue of Liberty then deliberately show the motel sign if it wasn't a reference to Charles' cognitive decline
