A motel is U-shaped or square,with an inner courtyard that serves as the parking lot.Doors face the lot,with ground doors opening directly to their own parking spaces mere feet away.This is extremely convenient for unloading suitcases.It is also reassuring to have your vehicle parked right outside the door where you can keep an eye on it,especially if it contains valuables.


Hotels are located in or near cities.The rooms face inward with doors opening to interior hallways.A guest might stay at a hotel for a week or longer on business or pleasure.Hotels commonly offer jacuzzis,gyms,pools,restaurants,room service,cable television %26amp; internet connectivity.Hotel parking lots are separate,the walk from the lot to the lobby can be a trek.POLL-What is the difference between a motel and a hotel?

At a motel you usually park right outside your room. seldom


Motels have the doors on the outside of the building.





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..


The rooms in hotels are inside the building
at a motel the doors to rooms are on the outside


and in a hotel they are on the inside


this is the difference
to get really basic, a motel is usually in the country and a hotel is in a city or town.
