When there is no difference in the services that they offer?

There is a MOTEL in Orange City, Florida, the Days Inn, that is NOT a resort.
I got bedbugs and there were gangs of hoodlums drinking outside my door all night, the A/C would not turn off and the room reeked of bug spray, the room was so small you had to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom.
A resort has room service and cool things to do like get a massage, ride a waverunner, eat at a few different restaurants.
Bare minimum, it must have good room service, a pool, and have recreational activities and offer massages.

It mostly has to do with the extras, amenities and service you get. Usually a resort is a little fancier than a regular hotel or motel. The service may be better and more personable. They offer room service, possibly a spa, etc.
A hotel and motel are more for budget traveling and tend to be your names like Comfort Inn, Days Inn, etc.

Purely marketing

because it sounds fancier, so they can charge more money.
