Motel 6 Named Best Budget Hotel Brand In The US By USA Today Readers In 60th Year Serving Travelers
DALLAS (August 26, 2022) – The iconic economy lodging brand, Motel 6, today was named the “Best Budget-Friendly Hotel Brand” by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. As the founders of economy lodging, Motel 6 has been dedicated to making travel accessible to everyone for 60 years.
Motel 6 began in response to a simple, unmet need: to provide affordable, clean and comfortable lodging. With this vision, the economy lodging segment was born in 1962 when two road trip enthusiasts turned the lights on at the first Motel 6 location in Santa Barbara, California, for just $6 a night.
“Being named the Best Budget Hotel Brand is extra special this year as we celebrate our 60th anniversary,” said Rob Palleschi, CEO of Motel 6. “The fact that this was voted on by our own guests and the public is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our owners and team members across the country, and I want to thank them for being a part of the last six decades and for helping us celebrate what’s to come.”
A panel of travel experts and 10Best.com editors selected USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Award nominees, and the final top 10 winners are then chosen by the readers’ popular vote. Motel 6 was also awarded the title in 2020.
