I usually stay in Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, Doubletree and their business spin-offs (H Garden Inn, etc).
These places are more pricey than the Motel 6, but the nicer bed is worth it (being the point of a hotel after all).
Doubletree has my favorite mattresses among Hilton brands (and is perhaps the only thing I like about that brand). Marriott brands seem to have consistently boring mattresses, nothing special among any of the brands. Sheraton is inconsistent, have had both good and bad and Starwood brands are all over the place as far as quality goes.

Interesting, so many are talking about mattresses and pillows. I have no problem with most hotel mattresses but I do like a decent pillow. Slightly off subject, but yesterday I got my instruction for my knee replacement in the mail: one thing the hospital mentioned is: if you want to bring your own pillow make sure you use a brightly colored pillow slip. Bringing my own pillow to the hospital would never had entered my mind. I do know a lot of people who do this when taking road trips. You see them coming into the hotel with their luggage, including pillow.
1. It can't have a noisy HVAC unit. If it does, I am sleepless. Since I have no problem sleeping if it's freezing this is only a concern if it is hot, so my new trick if I have a noisy AC unit is to crank the AC on 60 until I go to bed, then turn the unit off.
2. The pillows have to be comfortable. If they are not, I take my clothes and wrap them in a towel and sleep on that.
3. Only light is my laptop where I stream my local sports station at a volume just above white noise.
