That's why you stay at Motel 6. The way things are going, they'll start charging a Hepatitis Fee.

Ha! Stayed at one once, Lafayette, Ind., about ten years ago. Skanky! Don't know if it was because it was a college town, or just badly managed, but it was really filthy and I'll never stay at another one.

I always figured Motel6 was on a rating scale from Motel1 to Motel100.

Default I'm a frugal guy to a fault

but my favorite Motel 6 story is I'm trying to check in at a facility in Michigan with a reservation and find myself in a line of about six. It gets confusing at this point, but for some reason credit cards could not be accepted. Cash only, which many people do not carry, of course. Some guys simply leave. Line moves very slowly, then stops altogether when the clerk says -- "I don't have any change, I'll have to go across the street to get some." (true story) And did so. When he came back, I told him to cancel my reservation, left and slept in my station wagon overnight.

Back in the day, a motel opened and charged $6 per night. They decided to call it “Motel 6.” At that same time - early 1960s - four star hotels only cost $20 per night and baseball game tickets cost a few bucks! Sadly, those days are long gone!

25-30 years ago, I found most of them to be really bare bones, but "clean" and fine, especially for the discounted rate as compared to the competition. I've stayed at a few after that, and it's been awful.

We all know that it doesn't matter how much we spend on lodging, it ain't truly clean. Thanks, Inside Edition!
