A motel is a facility (usually not more than a few stories ot most) that allows you to drive your own car around to the parking by your actual room...you also, largely, carry in your own bags as it is a much more casual facility than a hotel...a hotel can be many, many stories high with valet parking or parking available in a large garage. Hotels also usually have a bellhop to bring your bags to the room for you as well. A motel is considered more of a stop-in and stay along the way type of facility, where a hotel may be your actual destination.

hotel usually cost more. most of them are high rises. motel usually cost less most motels are found close by because more people tend to live in them. A lot motels are not clean like hotels because they don't always have maids working them. Its true that a lot of motels you can park right out side of your room but some u cant/ A motel can be one to three floors. you dont really have that luxury of to much of anything. NO room service or anything like that with a motel .

I'm not real sure, but I have never seen a public bar in a motel lobby and find them frequently in hotels. Motels are normally close to the main highway and much smaller than the large hotels found in big cities.

I was always told that a hotel is like a house and the rooms are accessed from inside of the building. At a motel the rooms are accessed from outdoors, they are not contained in a building.

Your door goes into a hall in a hotel and in a motel it goes to the parking lot

As far as I know, a motel rooms doors are entered from outside and a hotel's room are entered from inside.

I think a motel is where you can park outside your room, and a hotel, you have to go thru the lobby instead. Or you could put it like this... motels have roaches! and Hotels don't! lol...

Motels are usually facilities that offer only rooms, most likely located near or on highways for travelers. Hotels are larger and more complex facilities that can offer weight rooms and entertainment for people on vacation. Basically, its a difference between no frills and nice environments.
