Motel 6

Cheap highway accommodations

Motel 6 is a budget hotel chain in the United States, known for offering basic accommodations at low prices.

The name comes from the original nightly rate of six dollars when it opened in 1962.

The chain's slogan, "We'll leave the light on for you," became iconic in American advertising.

Motel 6 suggests no-frills lodging for travelers on a tight budget: We stayed at a Motel 6 off the highway.
