The first motel was in San Luis Obispo in California. The word was derived because they are designed to drive up to and you park near your room. They're generally more cheap and cheerful than a hotel, usually near major road intersections or on the edges of town. USA has Motel 6 chain.

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.
ie: Motel 6 vs. Renaissance Hotel

Motels differed from hotels in their emphasis on largely anonymous interactions between owners and occupants, their location along highways (as opposed to urban cores), and their orientation to the outside (in contrast to hotels whose doors typically face an interior hallway).

To get to your room in a motel, you just unlock an outside door with a key and walk right in. To get to your room in a hotel, you first have to go inside, walk through the lobby, and down a hall to your room.

Let's say you check into a hotel to actually sleep, whereas if you check into a motel chances are you won't be getting much sleep.
