In 2022, Motel 6 was named the “Best Budget-Friendly Hotel Brand,” in USA TODAY’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards and is consistently ranked in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Annual Franchising 500.

We spoke with Ginger Collins, National Sales Manager for G6 Hospitality, to discuss CLC Lodging’s long-time partnership with them, and how the brand has evolved over the last 62 years.
