[edit] Price hikes

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.

I don't think it's notable. Most hotels—chains or otherwise—hike their prices depending on tourist seasons. Yeah, Motel 6 is supposed to be cheap, but nowadays they're similar to other budget hotels and they're not going to pass up on a buck. ;-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:53, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Just a comment: I stayed in one in Las Vegas, a block off the strip. "In-season" the rate was $99.99 a night. Apparently, I was "off-season", it was about $40.00 a night.Rt66lt 03:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

There is a Motel 6 just a couple blocks from my location. It's quite a seedy place. I'll take a picture of the Motel 6 and post it here someday.

[edit] Cultural References

MSTCrow - please either cite a factual inaccuracy in the Camp Nama reference, or make a case that it has categorically less cultural import than, say, an offhand mention by Bart Simpson or Sandra Day O'Connor. I maintain that the inclusion here is not superfluous, and not POV; to cite an analogous example, one could imagine (though it hasn't been added yet) a link to the well-known Hanoi Hilton in an appropriate subsection of the Hilton Hotels page, and I would think it highly unlikely that a neutral observer would consider this to be POV.

While not seeing anything wrong with it being mentioned, I myself wonder if it qualifies as "Popular Culture" Leoroc 03:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
