Motel 6 is a large budget motel chain in the United States and southern Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1962 in Santa Barbara, California, when all rooms cost $6 a night—hence the company name. Rooms now cost around $30 to $60 a night; prices are typically advertised on a brightly-lit sign visible from nearby highways. Most of its locations are located near major interstate highways. In 1990, the company was bought by the French-based Accor.

Motel 6 may be best known for a series of light humored radio and television ads featuring the voice of writer Tom Bodett with the quote "We'll leave the light on for you".
