   Oh man, I hope you've got a non-smoking room. :yuck: The last time I was in a Motel 6 there was no tub in the bathroom. Just the shower stall that looked more like the orgasmatron from Sleeper — and without the obvious charm of said device — than a shower.Plus, they wanted a couple of bucks for 24 hours of Internet access. I declined.

   Ahh yes, Motel 6! The Hilton of the cheap hotels. And….the wifi, well sort of. It is more like wofi (wavelength on and off for and indefinite period of time). You take your chances with the wifi as well as with the shower, yes the shower! The knob is sometimes reversed and you either get a jolt or a sunburn. Ahh yes Motel 6!MC

   And at Motel 6 they keep the light on for you (this is in case you can't find your way through the maze of better Hotels and Motels, like a beacon for a a moth to the light that it cannot resist until it stays at) Motel 6!MC

   Well said! I never thought of it as an orgasmatron, but that's what it looks like. The design is clever, but it's a pain to use.I think that was the same movie that had the 200 year old Volkswagen in a cave that started right up. I liked that.Many of the Motel 6's also have flow restrictors on the sink. I'm all for saving water, but the flow is too reduced. If I can winch the end off the spigot, I pull the thing out for the duration of my visit. Originally posted by 0x29a:

   The ones that still charge are starting to fall into the minority finally. It's the Hiltons and Sheratons that charge a freaking fortune, usually about $10 a day. I finally got cellular hotspot, which doesn't always work either, but at least I'm not totally at the mercy of the wifi.By the way, look at this little sweetie that is now popping up on the Motel 6 website. Check me in!

   Next week we should do Red Roof, then Microtel. Microtel is trying to go upscale, not by changing anything, but just by raising rates. They're dropping off like flies.

   Well, at Motel 6 at least they give you glasses that are wrapped so tightly that you need something to cut the special "sterile" wrapping off to get to the plastic glass; and they charge you for it! It's okay though – we'll keep the light on for you so we can rich.MC
