We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
Motel 6 is the new 5 star hotel
Just like Cher Horowitz, my main thrill in life is a makeover. You name it, I've probably tried to change it; from my Republican parents to my naturally curly hair to my major in college to my best friend's obnoxious girlfriend. So, when Motel 6 unveiled plans to reinvent the economy lodging experience by redesigning the interior of their rooms, you'd better believe I was happier than Paula Abdul on prescription refill day.
The simple, functional, modern design is just a prototype—it's called "The Phoenix"—though participating Motel 6 franchises will retrofit their rooms in its image by the summer of 2009. As an affordable alternative to costly, Euro-chic boutique hotels like The Standard and Farmer's Daughter, Motel 6 has officially made it inexcusable for out-of-towners not to visit.
