However, I have stayed in a Motel 6, to tired to drive any further and was the quickest place to pull over to. I think it is the bedding in a Motel 6 that totally freaks me out. The paper thin comforter you could see through if you held up to a light and the sheets you really hope were washed in hot water with extra soap. Hope all is well on your trip & your rental is much nicer than the motel 6 Christie I’d take the room Karen is staying in………

Wouldn't a place near the minibar, the bed or the TV be more obvious. Anyhoo - cool idea with the wake up call.

First, Motel 6 doesn't charge hourly rates. That's a myth. Second, the ashtrays are in the rooms, even the no smoking rooms, because people will smoke whether they're supposed to or not and better to have them using an ashtray than a paper bag or styrofoam cup and setting the place on fire.

I see a typical Motel 6 customer as one who drinks Natural Light from a can. No need for the bottle opener...too much work! Normal customer? Owner of domain okdork.com...'nuff said! And don't ask how I know about the hourly rate. ;P Not sure why the bottle opener is included in the room. I see a typical Motel 6 customer as one who drinks Natural Light from a can.

I have noticed other hotel chains in their bracket that do some of the same things. It is all about understanding and catering to your target demographic. You got rid of Disqus for commenting, what happened? Noah,

Me! … a tea-totaling Mormon who'd never avail himself of the hourly rates — nor the ashtrays. I can't abide spending wads of cash on a place to sleep. I've always had good service and I like their advertisements. I always stay at Motel 6. Who’s their customer?
