Motel 6 is an American chain of motels with locations in the United States and Canada. The chain was founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 1962 by William W. Becker and Paul Greene, and derives its name from the fact that rooms initially cost only six dollars. Motel 6 also operates Studio 6, a chain of extended-stay hotels.
In 1986, Bodett was building houses in Homer, Alaska, and contributing to NPR's All Things Considered.A creative director at the Richards Group ad agency heard him on NPR and hired him to record a commercial for Motel 6.
Interesting note--is this worth including?--the Motel 6 in Anchorage, Alaska sells rooms in the summer tourist season for $105.99 per night. (In the winter, it's the more normal $50 per night or so--Anchorage's summer tourist season is VERY short and intense.) Just thought this was funny, because Motel 6 is known for being relatively cheap.
