Hotels came along first as just a place to stay, like on a vacation or something. With the building of Rout 66, a new 'hotel' came along called a Motel, or as they used to be called Motor Lodge. They were usually on the side of the road and offered parking right in front of your door. It was no frills, strictly a parking spot and a room with a small bathroom and a bed. Hotels are much more inclusive, usually having a pool, restaurant and the front door was INSIDE the building.
However, today the words are pretty much interchangeable.

Motel derived from the phrase motor hotel as they gained in popularity in the 1920s-1930s. Motels were originally characterized chiefly by proximity to highways and parking facilities, but that meaning has mostly been lost.

Hotels usually provide a range of services and may include facilities like restaurants, pool, bar etc
Motels provide lodging and a space to park, usually along freeways and motels for travellers to spend the night

Generally motels lack a lot of the things that hotels have and cost less.
