Directory of Motel 6 Locations, Georgia, 1986

Motel 6 is a budget motel chain founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 1962 by two local building contractors: William Becker and Paul Greene. Their idea was to charge six dollars a room per night, offering a "no-frills" experience -- including coin-operated black-and-white TV. Room rates have risen with competition and inflation, but they are still lower than other national chains.
