Motel 6 owner Blackstone sells chain to Indian hotel startup for $525, Possibly putting Tom Bodette out of a job.
It seems like the guy who was known for his stick:“we’ll leave the light on for you” may be out of a job.
I would say he got a pretty good run for his money, he’s been pitching the motel chain for 35 years. They say that the old boy is worth about $10 million so it doesn’t look like he’ll be standing in the soup line in the near future.
