An item about an Atlanta outlet of the Motel 6 budget lodging chain turning away an in-transit 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier (with a reservation) at midnight because he was underage hit social media circles at the end of March 2014: The Motel 6 company acknowledged on their Facebook page that an incident of this nature did take place at one of their Atlanta motels: The soldier in question (Chet Light) offered his side of the story as follows: To which Motel 6 replied: On 1 April 2014, Motel 6 again posted to their Facebook page to announce their resolution of the issue: Some motel chains have implemented policies under which they decline to provide rooms to persons under the age of 21 due to (what they perceive as) a greater potential for younger guests to cause damage to facilities and other kinds of trouble. Motel 6's corporate Reservation Policies & FAQs states that all registering guests must be 18 years of age (19-21 years of age required at some locations): The web page for the Motel 6 Atlanta Airport North outlet stated, at the time of the controversy, that registering guests at that particular motel had to be at least 21 years of age: All guests registering must be at least 21 years of age and must present valid picture identification. The Policies section of that page has since been modified to include an exception for military personnel: Minimum check-in age is 21, or 18 with a valid Military ID.
