Motel 6 Franchise

Economy lodging


We'll Leave the Light on for You!
 Thanks to one of the most successful ad campaigns in the history of the hotel industry, Motel 6 enjoys strong brand awareness and high guest loyalty. After more than 40 years, Motel 6 is still a true American icon and continues to outperform the competition.


Founded in 1962 in Santa Barbara, California, Motel 6 is synonymous with a great travel value. The first Motel 6 in Santa Barbara still leaves the light on today, but a lot has changed for the motel chain that pioneered the first real economy motel designed for the no-frills traveler.
 The original price of a night's stay at Motel 6 was just $6.00, and thus established the brand name for an American classic.

The promise of the lowest price of any national chain and a clean, comfortable room are Motel 6 virtues. Motel 6 is a household name, synonymous with quality and value. It enjoys the highest brand recognition factor of any economy lodging brand.

 The brand continues to grow and currently has approximately 1,200 locations with more than 120,000 rooms in the United States and Canada. Part of G6 Hospitality, Motel 6 is the largest owned and operated hotel chain in North America.
