Finally...budget lodging with style. Motel 6 nails it.

Remember when Motel 6 rooms were $6? I almost do...

Anyway - lower cost lodging in America has long been relegated to the world of polyester and bad, BAD Formica. Now - Motel 6 has taken the time to reinvent itself and has announced its first new concept in years.

Dubbed - Motel 6 "Phoenix" [for the rising...not the desert city] the new look is stylish and fun. Even the bathrooms get a sharp makeover featuring the popular "bowl on counter" sink concept...



The faux wood floors and bold color blocks are appealing and stylish. The overall look is of a clean, mod boutique hotel. It's about time this concept came to the budget lodging category.

Style and affordability aren't mutually exclusive. Look at Starwich and Fresh2Order (forgive their website) for great dining in stylish surroundings at a reasonable cost.

Now if Old Navy can rescue themselves and become the American H&M they should be...

See...budget can be boutique. It doesn't have to be bed bugs and bad flower prints...
