Cheap Chic: Motel 6 to become Motel Sexy?

Filed under: Hotels, Luxury — anne @ 10:38 am

Well, maybe not exactly sexy…but cooler, definitely cooler.

According to an article in USA Today, the chain for the cheap is getting a makeover: yes, new bedspreads. Alright, there’s more.

We are talking about 32-inch flat-screen TVs, granite countertops and those big sinks that sort of sit on top of the counter and are a pain to clean (which is, of course, why I don’t have one).

But wait, there’s even more (if you keep on reading)…

The hotel is going to be Wifi-ed; and, the rooms will feature colors like “cinnamon” and “olive”. You know, “earth tones.”

Oh, dear…where does this leave old customers who liked the cheapiness of the joint?

Right there in the Motel 6. They (the owners, a French company, by the way) say they will continue the chain’s “low-rate strategy.” Phew. For a minute there, I was worried…
