what is difference between hotel and motel.?

Answer 1

At a motel you usually park right outside your room. They are seldom more than two or three stories.

At a hotel you park in a lot or valet park, and your car is nowhere near your room. Hotels are usually multi-stories and often offer more sophisticated services like concierge or room service.

Answer 2

Motel is aimed at travellers as midway resting places (motel = motor+hotel) A hotel is a location at a destination rather than an enroute resting place.

In countries where roads are not well developed and people tend to take buses/trains rather than drive (india and China for instance) the word motel is rarely used...

Answer 3

A hotel is definitely bigger in structure than a motel. You can find more services being offered in a hotel while a motel(motorist hotel)
caters to the basic needs only. The hotel is also much more expensive. You can find motels strategically located in the suburbs.

Answer 4

Hotels differ from motels in that most motels have drive-up, exterior entrances to the rooms, while hotels tend to have interior entrances to the rooms, which may increase guests' safety.

Answer 5

Motels are usually used by backpack travellers who are travelling on a tight budget or who wants to save on lodging.

The facilities at motels are minimal, e.g. no air-conditioning, no butler services, etc.

Needless to say, hotels are the higher-priced options with much better facilities.

Answer 6

A hotel is for rich people, we poor suckers stay at motels.

Answer 7

Motels offer refreshing to the motor vehicles too.
