A motel, also known as motor hotel or motor lodge, is a hotel
designed for motorists, usually having each room entered
directly from the parking area for motor vehicles rather than
through a central lobby.
History:
Motels peaked in popularity in the 1960s with rising car travel,
only to decline in response to competition from the newer chain
hotels that became commonplace at highway interchanges as
traffic was bypassed onto newly constructed freeways.
Difference:
Motels differ from hotels in their location
along highways, as opposed to the urban
cores favored by hotels, and their
orientation to the outside (in contrast to
hotels, whose doors typically face an
interior hallway). Motels almost by
definition include a parking lot, while older
hotels were not usually built with
automobile parking in mind.
Typical Indian motels:
Motels are typically constructed in an "I"-, "L"-, or "U"-shaped
layout that includes guest rooms; an attached manager's office;
a small reception; and in some cases, a small diner and a
