Matt - I guess motel 6 doesn't have a 'frequent guest' program... if you stay there ten times & are still alive, consider yourself lucky!

In my student days, during a drive from Vancouver to Newfoundland via the Grand Canyon (it was November, & I wanted to see it), we stayed at a Motel 6 in Provo, Utah. After a massive dinner at a nearby steakhouse (where they looked at us as if we had three heads when we asked about a winelist), we went back to the motel, only to find the cops staking out a room near ours.... I salute your courage!
