Motel 6 Gets a Makeover
Budget hotel chain Motel 6 is updating their guest rooms with a fresh look by designer Paul Priestman. The new rooms will have ambient lighting, platform beds, flat screen TVs and a sitting area in the corner. Best of all, they are trading in their carpets for hard floors made from a plastic/wood hybrid material. The design will begin appearing in corporate locations later this year with more properties to follow in 2009. Despite the upgrade, rates will remain the lowest of any national chain in the U.S.
Amazing what a little paint and some new blankets can do. I’ll have to check this out!

I know! I wonder if they will look this good in person. Accor, the company that owns Motel 6 also owns the Ibis budget hotel chain in Europe and they are pretty nice.
