I was, I hate to say it, reminded that Motel 6's business model- which is to not re-invest in their properties, is a strategy that customers pay for. The room, in general, and the beds, were clean- but sad, There wasn't even a side table between the beds to put water or your book. Despite all the signs threatening action against smokers, the room smelled like smoke and we were more comfortable with the door open. And there was dog feces on the landing. I just felt kind of sorry for the people who worked there.
