Can you remember why it was called Motel 6?

I live here, or the East side of Sacramento, in Rancho Cordova.
What was going on in town to have all the motels booked up, this past weekend?
Never heard of any big events on the news, or reading the Sacramento Bee, newspaper that i still subscribe to.
The biggest thing for a car nut around here was the opening of another Pick-n-Pull wrecking yard. lol

We got a Motel 6 right down on the main street from me, that i went by quite a few times driving around town, and their parking lot never looked out of the normal to me, with an overflow of cars.??
