Huh, I remember that ad campaign fondly. Seemed homey/folksy.

Still alive, apparently.  So, a voice actor, who calls Homer, Alaska
home.  Cool. From Wikipedia:

Thomas Edward Bodett (/boʊˈdɛt/ boh-DET; born February 23, 1955) is an
American author, voice actor, woodworker and radio personality,
primarily as a host, correspondent and panelist for a number of shows
that air on National Public Radio (NPR). Since 1986, he has been the
spokesman for the motel chain Motel 6, ending commercials with the
phrase, "I'm Tom Bodett for Motel 6, and we'll leave the light on for
you."
