The new Motel 6s that have gone up in recent years have a really cool, fresh style about them. I'm guessing it's the Accor European influence... I wonder if this will continue with their new ownership?

I haven't stayed at a Motel 6 in years (probably over 20 years by now) but I'd certainly consider them if I was roadtripping without an itinerary and needed a place to bed down.
