 The Motel 6 is freshening up their interior diggs and have opted for a more contemporary look to appeal to their guests. The rooms feature flat-screen TVs, granite bathroom countertops as well as retro furniture. It is likely that this trend will soon follow with other budget chain hotels. The Red Roof Inn and Super 8 chains are already planning upgrades. Despite the new interior upgrades, which are expected to occur this summer, Motel 6 will maintain their economic price strategy. They are hoping this new look will improve their occupancy rates and boost revenues. |

It's the same in the UK the budget chains are smartening up. I've stayed in some of the new Travelodge for £19 on the Saver advance booking rate and the rooms have been great.
